I Cooked with Movie Theater POPCORN Butter

I distinctly remember the day I learned that the popcorn butter at movie theaters was “self serve”. I would completely drown the bag of popcorn with the butter - there’s something about that flavor that can’t be beat. Granted this was when I was about 12 years old and the term “calorie” and “high blood pressure” had not hit my radar yet.
I also distinctly remember the day I learned that popcorn butter isn’t actually butter, which was only a few weeks ago. It’s essentially just flavored oil, but either way I needed to see if it was worth cooking with!

It smelled excellent, but the taste wasn't that noticeable. Next, I plan to try making spicey seasoned peanuts as well as candied peanuts with the oil.

    i think you should have heated some of the butter and used it as a dip or a coating for the foods after they were cooked. it seemed that the flavor lessens significantly while cooking so maybe on after would be better. would make sense too otherwise they wouldn't have it on the side for extra at movie theater

    I think the problem is that you didn’t add much salt with the “butter”. I remember seeing a video where people just add salt to fries and made another batch without salt but spices and the salt one was better and the one with salt and spices was even better because salt helps bring out the flavor of stuff.

  • @numberyellow

    The thing about the orville stuff, is that it's not the same as what you get at a theater. The thing about the stuff at the theater is that it, by itself, isn't what gives the buttery flavor. It's largely to do with the special salt the popcorn is popped with. I worked at a theater for a couple of years, and spent a LOT of time making popcorn.

    Hey so completely understand if you don't reply to this, I know you're busy but for anyone, I did a top sirloin round recently and trimmed to what I felt what really good, yet this is the first time where I've had this cut come out to where every bite was nearly inedible. It was as if gristle was in every bite and there was that bubblegum residue after each bite. I had to spit a wad out each time and it was highly disappointing. I've tried to research but have not found anything exact. Has anyone else had this problem? I think it may just come down to bad quality but I'm bummed because I enjoyed top sirloin being fairly lean and didn't run into this issue when before I left the fat cap on and trimmed after. It's crazy, a wad a gristle no matter what and it's making me hesitant in the future. Thanks for you time! Wishing success always

    IMO, drums are better because you get a grip that you can use for the entire time. The flats have issues with having to pull them apart while eating them, and I have had way too many bones break, which can cause issues with that. I have never had a drum bone break on me.
