  • Is it possible to make popcorn better than the movie theaters already do? Well.... I think so, maybe... First, we'll make the greatest homemade buttered popcorn recipe as the main portion, but just to add onto that I'll show you two other special ways. By special I mean garlic bread flavored popcorn, and a perfect salted caramel corn that's so good you'll want to sneak your own popcorn into the theater.

    During the "lockdown" one of our local theaters kept their concession stand open for to-go orders, so that they could help their employees and stay open. We had a lot of fun grabbing popcorn and watching movies at home.

A few barely cracked garlic gloves-still in their skin, if you can manage(it protects from the harsh heat@First)-from the moment the corn is dropped in, when it finishes, you are left with some mighty tasty lil'garlic gloves(tastier with/in the butter/EVOO mix btw;) and some seriously infused garlic corn-I also add a Carolina Reaper, when doing mine, I can reuse the same dried CR pepper like 7x before it just disintegrates...my two cents-keep the change!!...hehehe-

  • @g4l430
    @g4l430 Před 2 lety +26

    One thing I do to make it even better is to use a grease splatter guard as the lid after the kernels start to pop. Note that at the movie theaters, the lid to the popcorn opens as the kernels start to come out. This releases the steam and makes for a more crunchy popcorn that lasts for days. Not as important, I add some coconut oil to what I pour over the kernels because I like the flavor and it seems to cause the ghee to coat the kernels instead of being absorbed into them (making them soggy). Without question, what you did in the video is spot on!

    • @DeborahHMarks
      @DeborahHMarks Před 9 měsíci +2

    I found a tip on the internet last year (can't remember where) for popping popcorn which made my popcorn so much better. When you go to heat your oil or butter, put 3 kernels in with it. When they pop, the oil is the right temperature to add the rest of the kernels. They start popping pretty quickly when they go in at the right temperature, and most of the kernels pop without burning any.

    during halloween (idk about the rest of the year) walmart had some caramel bites in a bag you could get for the kids. i put a handful into a candy pot with some milk and melted them down to a more liquid consistency. after that i just drizzled it into the bag popcorn and had a nice snack. next i wanna try it with some toffee flakes i got from work

    So heading out for msg and brioche right now. As a popcorn weirdo, I wanted to hear you talk about types of corn. This is still genius, but I like when you geek out about ingredients. Thank you, Papa.

      I'm pretty sure there's only one type of corn that can make popcorn. Something about the water ratios, I believe?
