Some theaters pop in partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which is better for your heart, and few use non-hydrogenated oil, which is best (though none are good for your waistline). A large (20 cups) with butter has 1,600 calories and nearly four days? sat fat. Get comfortable on your couch with your favorite movie or TV show and enjoy our Movie Theater. The seven cups in a buttered small, for example, have 600 calories and 1 1/2 days? worth of saturated fat. pure coconut oil, non-GMO seed, salt, and a gourmet butter flavor. Cook on high for 2 - 3 minutes or until there's about 2 seconds between each pop. Pour into your paper lunch bag and fold the top of the bag over three times to secure it. This helps the salt stick to the popcorn instead of collecting at the bottom of the bowl. In a small bowl combine the kernels, oil, and salt until the kernels are fully coated.

Movie theaters use powdered salt instead of table salt which has the texture of flour. Why is movie theater popcorn so much worse than the supermarket variety?īecause it?s usually popped in highly saturated coconut oil, and because the servings are on steroids. Let the popcorn cool for 1 to 2 minutes before adding the butter when making it in this manner to prevent the popcorn from getting soggy as well.
