Flavored Popcorn
« on: October 14, 2026, 08:35:15 AM »
Thinking about buying the popcorn maker with a kettle.  I used to operate on in my pool store a decade ago.  No stranger to them.

I've been watching YouTube videos on the flavoring process.  My idea is to get a bunch of different flavors and mix them together.  First the oil to preheat, second the kernels to mix with the oil, and finally the powder mixes to coat the kernels.  That should cause the popcorn to explode through the powder mix and oil to coat the pieces.

That way, each piece can have separate flavors from the one next to it and each piece would have a stronger flavor over the other coated flavors.  Rach piece would be a unique flavor.

Has anyone ever tried this?

I am more of a popcorn purest.  Salt only kind of a guy.  But I do not buy just any popcorn.  I buy really good popcorn from places like Amish Country popcorn.  The red, the blue and the purple have a much higher popcorn, flavor level then store bought popcorn.

I do use a store bought Whirley popper that I use peanut  oil.  With just a bit off practice it makes perfect popcorn.

I was a big fan of popcorn popped in butter flavored Crisco. Wife said no more of that maybe 40 years ago.

Haven't had popcorn since the opening night of "Saving Private Ryan," whenever that was. It was loaded with butter and salt like Lazer posted above. Lazer's post makes me want to go the movies and get some.

There was a little pop-up shop by me for a couple years that sold several types of flavored popcorn, maybe 30 or so.

It’s now a shop that serves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and other easy lunch items.
