Movie theater popcorn at home

I have tried everything and THIS IS THE BEST

This is by far the most successful “at home popcorn I’ve made. Using ghee (or clarified butter) instead of coconut is a close second, but not as cost-effective. 

Do your bowls in batches; the patience really does pay off. 

Start by heating up your stock pot on a medium heat. Spoon a tbsp of coconut oil into the pot along with 3-4 kernels. cover with the lid and shake from side to side every 20-30 seconds. Once the kernels pop, add the remaining portion. Shake, covered, to coat. Continue to shake until popped. 

If you are making more than one batch, add another tbsp of coconut oil for the next round.

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup Orville Redenbacher Popcorn Kernals Yellow

  • Once the kernels pop add the remaining kernels and cover
  • Shake the pot often so that the kernels are coated with the oil

Notes

Do this in batches! You will have tons of unpopped kernels or burnt corn if you become too ambitious.
Add 1 tbsp of coconut oil per batch. 
This is almost better than movie theater popcorn! 

Tips to make it: 

Make your bowls in batches, or you might end up with tons of unpopped kernels or burnt fluffs. 

Also, you must use Orville Redenbacher kernels. It won’t work if you skimp out (I have tried it!).
