What's the key to movie theater popcorn? I still can't get it right.

>popping on stovetop, with popcorn butter topping (have also tried coconut oil)
>seasoning with Flavacol after popping
>topping with more fake butter

What else am I missing?

OP, here's the best shot you have besides getting real movie theater fake butter.

In the microwave popcorn bags, orville redenbacher has a pour-over movie theater butter that has a pack of liquid fake butter and it tastes way better than the bottle of popcorn butter oil shit. So steal the butter pack from that and put it on your stove popcorn.

I work at a movie theater. Add your popcorn seed to 430f oil (we use great western coconut oil but I doubt it matters) along with 1-2tbsp of pic related for every 32oz seed. The topping we use is "Lou Ana Premium Buttery Oil" make sure to preheat your topping oil or it will ruin your popcorn.

Even if you get it perfectly right, butter popcorn is the only flavor of popcorn that can't be saved for the next day. Butter popcorn goes from good to barely edible after an hour and is straight up disgusting after a few hours. Just save it for the movie theater, its not worth the effort at home. Make kettle corn instead.

Hi buddy,
Coconut oil, olive oil, and canola oil are all great choices. Make sure you're adding flavacol to the pot with the heated oil and unpopped kernels, I would *NOT* recommend topping the popped corn with the flavacol itself. For a topping salt, buy the extra-fine popcorn/nut salt that comes in the red and white canister.

As of late I have just been melting real butter because that's delicious. But before that I was going back and forth between a butter topping from Amish Country, and a different one from Kernel Seasons. That Amish Country topper was SUPER close when heated up, IMO,

I was mostly happy with Pop Secret brand kernels because they pop so big, but I've switched to buying 35lb bags directly from my local theater, and they use kernels from a popcorn farm called I'm All Ears. It's great stuff.

Good luck!
