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!

At the movie theatre chain that I used to work at (cineplex), the butter that you pay the employee to put on it, and the stuff that you put on yourself for free, we’re completely different. The stuff behind the counter is actual butter

[@monroerobbins7551]

…I knew it! I’ve been to a couple of cinemas, different kinds, and there was some I liked more. Cineplex was one of them. I didn’t know why I liked their popcorn more, and I’ve always tried recreating it at home (yes, I like popcorn). So the fact that it’s actual butter AND movie butter? It makes so much sense

[@Miterme]

You should try dry aging with the butter mixture using a cheese cloth. Would be very interesting!

On Sunday, I made my own Chex Mix. I substituted movie butter oil for butter. Great minds think alike, I guess. It turned out to be a very good Chex mix. 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

[@enry1786]

[@leannagranillo2379]

You should've mixed the unheated popcorn butter with a dry rub like lemon pepper or something, then put the hot wings in the mix and tossed it. The flavor might have come through more. Still a great episode

As someone from Buffalo, I really appreciate your traditional take on wings (disregarding the popcorn butter). No batter, not flour or starch, just raw wings, fried and covered in Buffalo sauce. Thanks for the representation bro

[@frgwyn3760]

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.

[@Sebboebbo]

Da king is back baby he neva miss

[@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.

[@jaytrashwade1-1]

In my opinion with chicken wings, drums are easier to eat, but flats are easier to evenly season and sauce, and flats tend to sustain the flavor a little more. With flats, I feel compelled to just experiment with spices and seasonings.

[@2turntfl]

Guga definitely did not do this first.🧏‍♂️

The thing I’m curious about is what would had it tasted like if you used popping oil instead of topping oil. For theater popcorn you use both.

[@marcnangelu]

[@yrbelite8450]

So we just found out we can use movie theater butter as a cooking substitute. Nice!

[@jamaaldunbar324]

He did this whole experiment, with different foods cooked different ways. Just to basically end up with food that tastes the same it always does!!!😂 Great idea, Amazing idea actually. I love and eat popcorn like it's crack, the butter too!! But next time if you do a part 2, you have to use it to make a dipping sauce or something. So you can see if you make something that tastes like popcorn 🍿 or better (if that's even possible!!! 😂)

I don't think the lobster for a fair shake because most people dip it instead of actually pumping it dull of butter. The taste of course would be more noticeable but you could compare better imo

[@DemiX7X]

[@mytylp2589]

Ive always preferred the drums compared to the flats. But I will take any wing any day

[@silentangel2259]

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.
