A fun engineering fact regarding Flavacol: What makes this salt unique (besides the butter seasoning) is that the salt is formed by a proprietary method called the "Alberger process" which makes very fine flakes instead of larger crystals like table salt. This results in more flavor with less amount of salt overall.

Dude, this is totally appropriate subject matter for a ''technical channel''. Geeks and nerds and techies and just about everyone else have at least a few childhood memories of thinking to themselves ''Yeah, that's gotta be a closely held industry secret that I'll never know''. This is up there with sharing (good) BBQ tips, always welcome on the timeline.

I worked at a movie theatre as a teen and this is indeed the stuff we used. You actually add the seasoning into the kettle at the same time you add the seeds and oil and let it all cook together to infuse the flavour into the popcorn. I just added a carton of the stuff into my Amazon cart now. Thanks

flavacol works best when you add it to the popping oil, that's what the theaters do. but, you can also mix it with your favorite oil or unsalted butter to make the "buttery topping" that most theaters add on top for an extra charge. you can also sprinkle it over popped corn, but it doesn't stick as well especially if the corn is air popped. what i do if i use an air popper is spray the corn with an olive oil based nonstick cooking spray very lightly, then sprinkle with flavacol, then stir, and repeat 2 or 3 times to season all of the corn. works really well.

wait what an extra charge? all theaters i been to never had an extra charge for extra squirts of butter, just some employees will do it right when its half full do it then do it again when full but some do it the lazy way. altho seems some newer theaters have machien that spits it out, its slow so cant get alot but maby could try get a tub or two full of it for home.

That’s the salt a lot of fast food restaurants put on their French Fries.

This makes me happy!😀

EXCELLENT VIDEO... This is good to know. Thank you for sharomg this video

I remember discovering this on Amazon and that aha moment . It’s also used to flavor “real butter “ in some countries.

THANK YOU

I just found this stuff a couple weeks ago..................... Amazing

2nd day useing this and the snappy coconut oil man this stuff is the real deal pops every kernel

This is 2.99 at our farm store and this is excellent on french fries!

Get it at the bulk barn too

cant seem to find it on net how do you store it in moist climates? and if it dose get moist and you dry it dose it loose the special flake properties even after smashing it back up?

All those online movie theater recipes all forget to add this. It has nothing to do with the butter. When me and my family go to the movies we don't even add butter. There's really no need to. I spent so much money trying to mimic the movie theater popcorn, and I buying and making ghee, I using coconut oil and olive oil. Not knowing this is all I really needed.

Dammmnnn that voice teae

Is it mixed with coconut oil to cook the pop corn or we pour it on to well done pop corn?

Add the flavacol in the oil while cooking the popcorn for movie theater popcorn.Lastly, add butter and sprinkle flavacol on top of buttery popcorn. I do this everytime Im at the movies and its so tasty I feel bad that people dont know abnout it.

@@TheElementSwing yes .. coco oil plus flavacol is “movie theatre butter .”

I bought a carton of this seasoned, colorized salt. Actually, that's why I landed here. I found it slightly odd that you used the phrase, "if you close your eyes", because the food coloring in this product is without a question a big part of its appeal. I would like it better without the coloring, and it most likely would be as white as regular table salt.

Yeah your right I would like it without the color also but this is not table salt and they add the nuclear butter flavor. I had two cartons of this sitting on the shelf for two years and decided to put my finger in and give it the taste test. It's what would make popcorn addictive. I could see adding Chile powder, having a number of different shake-able containers with different spices for a change.

actually, gold medal does make flavacol without the orange coloring for people who are allergic to food dyes. the reason the orange coloring is there is so you can visually see the amount of salt on the finished popcorn. if you use the colorless version you need to be more accurate in your measurements to prevent over-salting.

Not stupid at all. I'm gonna get me some at the Ace Mart Restaurant Supply for $3.99. That's for the info.

Thanks. Some articles say it’s best to salt popcorn after you pop it. Do you think it makes a difference?

It would depend on how you pop it. I use an air popper and the kernels are still steaming after popping. That is when I salt mine.

With Flavacol, I think it's best to add it to the oil in the kettle/popper after it's hot. Then it sort of dissolves and coats the kernels more evenly.
