MOVIE-THEATER-STYLE POPCORN



Movie-Theater-Style Popcorn image

Serve A-list snacks, and your next movie night (or game day) will win rave reviews. This recipe offers two deliciously different takes on popcorn: classic butter and a maple-cayenne kettle corn variation. You just need a medium stockpot with a lid to get popping.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 12 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup popcorn kernels
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt (we use Diamond Crystal)

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium heavy pot (preferably cast iron). Heat over high, stirring, until butter melts. Cover, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook, undisturbed, until kernels begin popping rapidly.
  • Offset lid to create a 1/8-inch vent along one side of pot; continue cooking until popping begins to subside, about 2 minutes. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl; toss until cooled slightly, about 2 minutes. Serve.

MOVIE THEATER POPCORN (SERIOUSLY)



Movie Theater Popcorn (Seriously) image

Taking reviewers suggestions, I've modified the salt content to 1 teaspoon, thank you for the feedback. When I was a young man, I worked at a theater. One of the main differences in the way that theaters pop their corn is the addition of finely ground salt into the pot while it is popping. Well, that and that the oil is tinted yellow with coloring. You can add as little or as much salt as you like, these are just my preferences. This recipe is done on the cooktop.

Time 12m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup popcorn
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Grind the kosher salt into a fine powder in a spice/coffee grinder (this step is very important).
  • In a heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
  • Place one kernel of corn in the pot, when it pops you are ready to add the other ingredients.
  • After the kernel pops, add the popcorn and the finely ground salt into the pot and cover. Give the pot a vigorous shake to distribute corn, oil and salt.
  • Pop until complete, I usually pop until there is only one or two pops per second.
  • Do not burn!
  • One Taste and you'll see it's perfect "Movie Theater Popcorn"!
