r/popcorn

In total took me about 12 hours to get through 50LBs.

Just finished my board exams for medical school and came home to this!

Obviously not actually that fancy but it was a fun little challenge to make popcorn look gourmet :)

Ingredients:
A parm crisp bowl, with popcorn, a hand made umami seasoning (dried wild mushrooms, msg, garlic powder, parm, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary) brown butter, popped amaranth, and a spring of fresh rosemary

This is my 3rd order of expensive popcorn tin from Garretts, they are worth every penny! So yummy fresh crisp and just the right amount of coconut sweetness. I am a first time buyer and was enthralled by gourmet popcorn at disney. I was off put by the price point but wanted to experiment first i started off with the choco walnut crisp tin and got absolutely addicted about 3 orders in.

I need popcorn flavoring and these where pretty terrible :( I prefer air popping and adding seasoning to keep it healthy, any recommendations for the white cheddar?

Edit : flavocal premiere added and hoomshire white cheddar added to my list!

Nothing crazy, but found it at the thrift store for about $35. It’s been great for movie nights.

I've been obsessed with skinny pop, i want to make it at home!

I made some movie theater type with coconut oil + flavacol, but i wanna get that light skinny pop popcorn.

What kernels and how to cook it?

I bought this popper 4 months ago and it was never right from the start. At first the popcorn was very chewy, popped very fast. Tried to adjust it but it never popped slower. Contacted great northern, they have great customer service BTW, trouble shot it but they eventually sent me a new kettle. The new kettle pops about 1/3 of the kernels, which turn out good but the rest never pops, I end up dumping the corn, putting the kernels back in the popper and it pops another third. Then the rest just keep spinning. What do I need to adjust or do differently? I'm following the instructions on the front, I've used avocado oil and I've tried coconut oil.

My husband bought me a popsmith for mother's day. The first batch I did as directed with 1/2 cup kernels and it was perfect. The 2nd I did 1/4 cup and the oil leaked out of the popper down the sides and then some kernels burned. Any tips on how to not burn?

Also, what is your favorite premium popcorn kernels? We've been loving Amish Country but I'd like to try something new. TIA

We just pick this oil up at Rural King with a carton of Flavocol and it tastes almost exactly like movie theater popcorn. The only thing that I do a little bit different I use extra oil. It says a quarter cup I use like three quarters of a cup. And almost a whole tablespoon of the flavocol. My wife loves movie theater popcorn and she says this is the closest to it we found.

EDIT: Not 3/4 cup oil lol its 1/4 cup and like a 1/3 of the 1/4 cup . I used talk to text not very fast at typing.

We have a pretty big machine it uses 2 cups kernels for a batch.

Flavocol goes in the oil as it heats up
