svelteciderWhat is your cinema hot take?
neidu3Cinema popcorn is inferior because they can get away with low quality. There’s plenty of good popcorn around, but it’s rarely found at the movies.
JohnnyEnzymeI’ll hottake that hottake: cinema popcorn is amazing (around here at least), and I think a lot of that comes from key ingredients they use. One is “Flavacol” seasoning, and the other is butter-flavored coconut oil. Makes a world of difference, assuming you like a buttery taste.
dkppunkI’ll hot take your hot take of that hot take: Cinema popcorn is best the day after a movie when it’s stale
That’s when it tastes like plastic IME. Big yikes from me, but different strokes for different folks.
Btw, I happen to love crispy popcorn, and figured out that you can rescue stale popcorn & other snacks by tossing them in the air-fryer a little bit.
So some tricks from ex cinema employee. Use canola oil and yellow Popcorn kernels and a Aluminum bowl That you can buy from a restaurant supply store.
-
salt kernels before you cover then with oil.
-
Fill the oil to just enough to cover the kernels.
-
Then cover the bowl with Aluminum foil. And roll the bowl over the stove on medium heat. Till it starts popping
-
then use More canola oil for butter Lightly Spritzed in a spray bottle.
-
That will give you perfect theater popcorn at home.
Optional secret ingredient Tajin instead of salt
