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 @babishculinaryuniverse 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.

One ad in the beginning of the video and zero ads throughout the rest of the video 10/10 stars. After making fun of a few good stars and then getting straight to the point and showing you how it’s done solid performance.10/10 stars. Just a phenomenal video man will recommend
Your video is too over the top, let people make popcorn how they want to for fucks sake. Your eyes are too jittery and your recipe sucks. Ive since deleted your video from my history and make sure none of your crap videos show up on my feed again. We all know its avocado oil, 1/3 cup of kernels then top with nutritional yeast and salt for the best recipe anyways.
Where do you buy flavacol,?
Holy microwave.
You lost me at flavocol. It tastes like salt went to hell.
I have the kernals, Flavacol, and salt, and I am just waiting on the oil from Amazon. I have never been so excited to eat popcorn!
movie theater popcorn taste like crap. whatever oil they use to pop it is terrible and then they use a butter flavored oil to pour over it and it has way too much salt. It taste like crap.. for years now I have been using my trusty popcorn maker at home three-quarter cup popcorn, 1 tablespoon of vegetable vegetable oil. The electric popper has a stir. It pops the popcorn. I mix a little bit of melted butter in it, and some salt poured in the paper bag shake it up and bring it to the movie theater. It taste so much better than that garbage they sell in the movie theater and, I believe it’s healthier. I used to cook it in olive oil, but that somehow is difficult to clean off the bottom of my popcorn popper
it's so strange to me to see salted popcorn advertised as "the movie popcorn". Every country has a war on sugar… meanwhile in germany we almost only had sweet popcorn back in the 2000s, that's where my nostalgia lies
3:28 "Heavy bottomed moms, you make the popcorn world go 'round!" 😂
Over board…
And what makes you think you’re the one doing the popcorn right?
Way too many kngredients for my liking, I add a little oil at the bottom (any random cooking oil), I pop them and then add some spicy popcorn powder, maybe a little cheese powder as well, that's pretty much it, not a big fan of pili popcorn
Still, this recipe looks great, I wish I knew how easy it is to make popcorn on the stove, I wasted way too much money on microwave popcorn lol
What the heck is the quality of that colored coconut oil? I'd prefer to use organic, if possible. So where do you get the beta carotene? You also can use a bowl that can be warmed, and have melted butter ready too. So it's all warm/hot at the same time.
Excellent video! However, what alternatives would you suggest for countries outside the USA, like Greece for example. In Greece you can find only flavacol from a specific corner store in Athens where it's sold for 10 bucks. All the other ingredients are not available in retail
Looks good. One thing I would add. If you want real butter flavor, cut your butter, whatever amount you can forgive yourself for, into little cubes. Don't add it to the popcorn until a few kernels pop. Putting it in too early will cause it to burn and turn black. Then cook your popcorn per usual.
Idk man that oil thing is pedantics imo. Peanut oil or uncolored coconut oil, that's totally fine lol!
nope, I use half canola and half clarified butter infused with saffron.
Also, I hot air pop my kernels and apply the oil in a huge bowl by slowly drizzling it while folding, then dusting it with powderized mixture of salt and MSG.
It's better than movie popcorn.
dumb. so dumb. HEALTH is first or get out. You will. learn that soon as the audience wakes up to all the nutrition alternatives. Go Trump and RFK 2025 and Bret Weinstein 2025 Baby!
Man what a game changer! Thank you sir
I'm a master popcorn/kettle corn cook and like your video.
Your eyes are freaking me out man
video begins at 1:43
This worked great!
🔥🔥🔥
3:30 disliked for insulting my mom
Dude, do you have Nystagmus?
3:33 wassup
Peanut oil for popcorn makes no sense. Corn oil seems a better fit keeping with the theme of all things corn.
There's no R in Flavacol
I hope RFK arrests this guy. I would report him if I knew his address
I threw out the Flavacol. It seemed to make the popcorn taste like the bagged popcorn.
fucking finally
i swear someone needs to do a video like this for frito pie
"Just use these foreign products that you will never see in real life and it'll be great."
All these methods to make pop corn is mind blowing especially when it’s supposed to be a fairly simple process
I usually do half oil half butter dash of salt lid on and shake it around every now and then just like in a popcorn machine the kernels are constantly moving around in a circle motion. but first let oil and butter heat up a little bit then add popcorn just enough to fill the bottom of your pot I don’t use pans to pop popcorn add lid and shake around every now and then when it’s starts to pop a lot you will know don’t have to shake anymore cause as it pops the popcorn will elevate and not burn when it stops popping quickly turn it off so bottom doesn’t burn open add a dash more salt and some melted butter on top lid back on for one last shake and serve. I know what I just said sounds like a lot but it’s really not once you know the steps you are doing.
When I say half oil half butter I make sure there’s enough to fill the bottom outline of the pot
I like how irritated he sounds when talking about the other videos lmao
What movie did you pull the clip where the guy yells wrong and hits the actor over the head with the bullhorn. That was pretty funny 😂
I used to use the Popping & Topping Oil… until I read the nutrition label, so for health reasons, I have to use an air popper now.
Yeah boy
I worked a popcorn joint at the fair and the secret to popcorn is Refined Palm Heart Oil. If you cant get that then you Cocoa Butter. You have to use the unhealthy saturated oils for the finest popcorn.
💯💯💯
Thank you.🍿😍
our grandparents got us one of those Nostalgia brand mini movie theater popcorn machines, it's great! lol can just toss everything in the cooker and wait! though i'm boring and just use regular olive oil and the standard 1/3 cup(but i make double batches!) and then just season it afterwards with parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt(and/or some melted butter) or some old bay seasoning or some of the salt & vinegar French fry seasoning! man that stuff is good! hell i even have a seasoning called Cavender's Greek Seasoning i'll use on it and that stuff is AMAZING on buttered pasta!
Literally the most annoying popcorn making video ever!!!
Don't forget a light sprinkle of ground cayenne pepper to kick it up a notch!
I don't like to shake it inside the pot with lid on because of the moisture accumulation under the lid. It makes the popcorn soggy and lose its crunchiness.
I bought the 1 gallon of the Snappy coconut oil and a little goes a long way. I use 1 Tbsp, and that is it. I bought one of those whirly hand-crank poppers and they work great. I also use the Redenbackers topping oil because it is high quality and has a great flavor. Don't buy cheap topping oil. The Flavacol is the secret too. I put 1/2 tsp in the pot with the corn, then pop till done. I add a little more to taste after putting on the topping oil.
wrong
Study frozen kernels, high heat, cool bottom of pot as soon as it’s done or transfer popped corn right away.
Organic popcorn organic gee, zero coloring sea salt.
