Movie Theater Buttered Popcorn at Home step by step video

I've been making popcorn at home for a long time.
We've been watching so many movies over the quarantine, so I've been making a lot of popcorn. I made a short video of how I make it. If you're interested, check it out.

Looks great! I've been using an air popper for a while, but used to love cooking it on the stove. Will definitely try.

What is the difference between this and an air popper?

never used one, but the air popper uses heated air and pressure to make the kernel pop and is a little healthier, mine heats the oil which causes the kernel to pop

Gotcha. I am wondering if the taste or texture is different.

yes the taste is different the oil adds a little bit of fat so it taste better and the air popped tastes similar to the bagged popcorn like Skinny Pop.
Basically the air popped just taste bland by itself, where the oil popped has flavor without adding anything to it.
Both need salt though

I get a good powdered cheese and douse the popcorn with it. I use a large, wide sloped mixing bowl to mix everything. Drizzle some butter, toss a bunch, repeat a few times until all butter is gone. This gets just about every kernel covered. Then I use my spice shaker to sprinkle cheese all over. Toss and repeat until you get the cheese amount you desire.
The key is the bowl though. These high sloped mixing bowls are more difficult to toss, and you want a big bowl for it. I find everything mixes much better this way.
ETA: Also I use a wok to pop my corn. Cover with foil, stab a few holes in it for steam release and constantly shake until the popping stops. You want to shake in order to allow even heating of the kernels and prevent burning. Maybe it's not necessary, but that's how Alton Brown told us to do it

Most theaters use coconut oil, not sure how much of a change it would make but it maybe worth it at someone just to see the difference.

Seems expensive.

Great. Now I’m gonna have to risk my life going to Rouses to find popcorn kernels.

thanks for posting

My old stand by was to use 3 Tbs of olive oil and heat on medium heat with two kernels of corn in the oil when those pop add 1/3 cup of kernels and cover with aluminum foil and poke a few holes with a fork for the steam to escape. Shake the pan occasionally until all kernels are popped.

The air popped popcorn is much lighter. Of course it needs butter and salt. It's more dense when cooked on the stove.

I went a different route. :)

I've heard this. I tried this. I didn't like the flavor, and it did not taste like theater popcorn. I have been wondering if this is some unproven rumor ever since

One tastes good, the other... not so much.

Certainly healthier than the canola oil.

I e done stove top popcorn. Olive oil is the best for flavor content. Also only use name brand kernels, the generic ones taste stale right out the bag.
I do 3 tsp of oil for 1/2 cup kernels. Comes out great

yeah this video is cute and all but not remotely authentic.
i have a popcorn machine and this is all I use:
expensive purchase but one order will last a year or 2.
