Unpopped corn

I am finding 1/3 of my kernels are unpopped. Any ideas how to get more kernels popped? This is from the Orvile . 3.6KG container.

toppings for american movie theater butter flavor on already popped popcorn

American here, saw my first movie in London last week and was horrified to find out their popcorn is simply salted??? It's not a permanent move but I simply cannot live like this. The popcorn is like half the reason I go to the theater, goddammit!

Bought some Flavacol, despite the fact that it seems to be recommended that you use it with the kernels themselves, and had a horrible time testing it on microwave popcorn -- it was wayyy too salty.

Anyone have any recommendations for liquid (open to salt-type toppings but it seems I would run into the same problem) toppings to add to already popped popcorn so I can fix my cinema experience??

Kettle corn at home

I use Amish Country white popcorn in a silicone microwave popper and am looking for a way to make kettle corn

I know it won’t turn out nearly as good as the stuff you get at the farms but does anyone have a recipe I could try to make something decent with what I have?

Glass casserole bowl for popcorn

Just sharing my observation on using a glass Pyrex casserole bowl with a glass lid for making popcorn in the microwave. Previously, I used a glass mixing bowl with one of those silicone lids that came from the silicone microwave poppers, but wanted to avoid silicone since it was visibly discoloring.

The glass bowl + silicone popped much faster (~4 min in my small weak microwave) than the glass bowl with lid (5+ min). Both cases the glass was VERY hot and needs to be handled with care.

For reference, I use a spritz of canola oil and popcorn salt with the kernels.

Has anyone tried this?

I know microwavable popcorn isn’t the preferred in this sub, but I have always loved the convenience and flavor of it. I found this at the store and had to pick it up!!

Gourmet popcorn flavors at home help

We have a local shop that makes REALLY expensive bags of gourmet popcorn. Stuff outside of the normal cheese, caramel, butter popcorn type mixes. Every so often we pick up a couple bags of different flavors.

Everything from like a cherry white chocolate glaze, to churro, to puppy chow, to ghost pepper or very hot types. The local place isn't the one below, ours doesn't have a website, but this is a very close example (also this is not an advertisement, I have no idea if this company is any good, it's just the best example of what I'm looking for) https://www.greatpopcorn.com/

But I'm really looking to start making these types at home, so save my office group some money and maybe come up with some good test popcorn along the way.

Is anyone aware of recipes that would be similar to these options? Several I'm sure I could buy some store-bought seasoning for, but I think this would go a little further than your standard "Kernel season's" options.

I don't mind supporting local business, but I'm also not willing to pay $14 for a bag of popcorn as often as we'd like to that I know would cost me 50 cents to make at home.

Got myself a stainless steel whirly pop from US!

I'm from UK and it finally came after few weeks and pretty hefty tariff fees but I'm glad the wait is finally over.

Saying that, what else do I need to make amazing home made popcorn except kennels, obviously?

People recommending Snappy kernels are wild!

After primarily using Amish Farm Purple for the past couple of years, I decided to try some forum recommendations. Maybe this is an unfair comparison but the Snappy were so bad next to the Bob’s I threw this batch away. First off, they are like mushroom kernels which unless you’re having caramel or kettle corn, ain’t it. They’re also flavorless and stale by comparison. Bobs Red Mill for the win and I will never try Snappy again. Sorry not sorry.

Microwave kettle corn

So, I'm craving kettle corn but all I have is your standard movie theater butter popcorn. I looked up "Microwave Kettle Corn" but all the recipes use plain kernels.

Is it possible to use what I have to make Kettle Corn?

When I opened this bag up, I could smell the buttered popcorn. And when I ate the popcorn, it tasted similar to AMC theater's popcorn with butter. Bought from Wawa.
