Shhh… Don’t mind the calories lol.

There are WAY too many videos on YouTube claiming to be THE best Popcorn recipe of all time....and then you watch their video. Even the big boys like ‪@AltonBrown‬ ‪@JoshuaWeissman‬ and ‪@bingingwithbabish‬ don't even hit a home run. So what does it take? Well, find out from someone who worked at a movie theater and has witnessed it all first hand.

🍿 Want that real movie theater popcorn experience without leaving your house? In this step-by-step guide, I’ll show you exactly how to make authentic cinema-style popcorn at home. From the secret ingredient (Flavacol) to the perfect popping oil and buttery finish, this is the ultimate popcorn recipe you’ll ever need.

Worked in a movie theatre (didn’t watch the video): It’s coconut oil and butter salt

Flavacol is the butter salt.

Didn’t watch it either. My ex did very well at popcorn with ghee and a nice pot, forget if cast iron or what. Nutritional yeast as well.

i do pretty much the same except i like using two nested stainless steel bowls for the popping. one inverted as a domed lid. the bowl funnels the unpopped kernels to the middle where the burner is, and after popping you can use the two bowls to serve.
