Gold Medal Flavacol Popcorn Seasoning Salt

A little goes a long way! This tastes like American cinema popcorn if you get the amount of flavacol right.

Wow, absolutely makes your home made popcorn taste amazing. You’ll need to experiment to get your perfect level of buttery saltiness, it’s strong stuff so go easy to start. I put it over the unpopped kernels in the pan and then add more once popped if needed. About half a teaspoon total to a third of a cup of kernels. It also works as a ‘base’ flavour if you are making sweet popcorn. The pack may seem pricey but with the tiny amount you use, it’s a bargain.

OK, as per title, there are NO instructions whatsoever on the cartn. As I've never used this product before, I didn't know if it was to be sprinkled on after making the popcorn, before,, does it work in a stovetop pot, etc? O spent a lot of time online trying to find out how to use and how much. There isn't anything on the M website. (Not that I could find anyway) Well, to help others here is the long and short: You can use it as long as you use an oil to make your popcorn. So, OK for machines and stove top, as long as you use oil/far/butter. No good for pure dry air machines. In other words, this is NOT post popped add on sprinkle. Heat the oil and when it' ready for the unpopped corn, you throw in that and half a t-spoon of the powder and make sure it is mixed well. It is a very, very fine powder in fact and quite salty. 1/2 t-spoon is more than enough for a large tub of finished popcorn. I make popcorn the old fashioned way, in a large stovetop pot with a lid. Easy to use, I mix it with the kernels before I chuck them into the hot oil, then shake the pot until it's all mixed together. You have to shake it anyway to make sure the kernels are all coated in oil and don't stick, so no change. It does give a buttery flavour and is nice on the palate. As I said, it is very salty so a little goes a long way which means 1 litre carton will last a lifetime ..... Seemed expensive, but given how little you need each time, it's actually very cheap. I might try some other flavours, as and when. Yes, I would recommend this is you make your own popcorn often. If you only make it, say 1/2 a dozen times a year, probably not worth the expense though.

Absolute must have for anyone cooking popcorn. Works brilliantly with my air popper. Helps give popcorn a cinema style buttery salt flavour. Absolutely enormous supply that'll last more than its moneys worth. A tablespoon of this sprinkled over a large portion of popcorn before cooking gives more than enough flavour. Definitely recommend for anyone cooking popcorn from scratch.

Learned of this ‘popcorn’ seasoning salt with an online cooking course and it is great for that. It is VERY fine salt and sprinkling a tiny bit on popcorn has super effect. It is very salt and I put just half a teaspoon on a large bowl of popcorn. Would not use it on anything else, but for popcorn it is great. It will probably last well over a year (and we have popcorn every weekend)

Really nice product gives a lovely flavour, doest work with popcorn that has been air popped (popcorn makers, microwave dry popped) but works lovely if you have done it in a pan as the air popped is to dry for it to stick to. I dont think we will ever use this full carton in our lifetime as you only need a tiny amount, for a medium sized pan of popcorn (giving you a large bowl or 4 popcorn cones) I use half a teaspoon any more than that and its too salty to eat. We have about 2 bowls a week and we have only used a tiny amount. So very good value for money. Gives off a lovely smell of buttery popcorn and a really nice flavour

Beautifully fine salt it’s a lot more than you’d think so don’t think too much worry about that, I can’t grade value of salt pricing but you can taste the difference so I’d say it’s worth the money for the experience

This is one HUGE carton of salt, but damn its good. This container will last you a LOOOONG time as a home user, even if you have a "movie night" every night of the year. I believe this is the stuff that is used in the cinema, so if youve tried that, this is the stuff. Throw some coconut oil in a pan, melt Add your corns, ensure enough oil to cover the corns about halfway up them. Add your salt....a tablespoon is likely more than enough if making it for 2 (I like it salty) Stir well, then puit your lid on the pan (pan with venting holes is best) Lower heat to medium Give the pan a wiggle every now and then to keep corns sovered in oil/salt Wait for the magic to happen Once the corns stopped popping, remove from heat and serve Enjoy your legit cinema popcorn. Really nice, will last for ages, just might take a few goes to get the right balance of salt to use. Worth a buy

L’ho preso per provare a rifare a casa i popcorn con quel sapore tipico del cinema e devo dire che ci si avvicina parecchio. Il gusto è proprio quello, diverso dal normale sale e più “ricco”. Secondo me però bisogna un attimo prenderci la mano con le dosi, perché è molto saporito e se si esagera rovina facilmente il risultato. Le prime volte ho dovuto fare qualche prova per capire quanto usarne e come abbinarlo bene a mais e olio. Un’altra cosa positiva è che la confezione è grande e dura tantissimo, anche perché ne basta davvero poco per volta. Quindi alla fine il rapporto quantità/durata è buono. Nel complesso mi è piaciuto e lo ricomprerei, soprattutto per chi vuole ottenere a casa un gusto più simile a quello dei popcorn del cinema.

Love the seasoning.

Wer sich schon einmal gefragt hat, warum selbstgemachtes Popcorn trotz Salz und Butter nie ganz so schmeckt wie im Kino: Flavacol macht tatsächlich den entscheidenden Unterschied! Der Geschmack ist butterig und salzig und das Popcorn bekommt zusätzlich diese typische leichte Färbung. Wie im Kino :) Wichtig zu erwähnen: Ja, das Popcornsalz ist auf den ersten Blick ziemlich teuer. Wer aber wirklich diesen typischen Kinogeschmack zu Hause haben möchte, kommt meiner Meinung nach kaum daran vorbei. In manchen spezialisierten Shops für Kinozubehör bekommt man es teilweise günstiger. Der Preis relativiert sich außerdem deutlich, wenn man bedenkt, wie unglaublich wenig man davon benötigt. Für eine große Familienportion Popcorn reicht bei uns ungefähr ein Teelöffel. Eine Packung dürfte daher wirklich eine halbe Ewigkeit halten. Wir machen unser Popcorn inzwischen nur noch mit Flavacol und ich habe es bereits mehreren Freunden weiterempfohlen. Wer gerne salziges Kino-Popcorn mag, sollte es definitiv ausprobieren – zwischen normalem Salz und diesem Popcornsalz liegen geschmacklich wirklich Welten!

Riquísima, además rinde muchísimo, no fui al cine a comprar palomitas nunca más jaja

Tres forte odeur (de beurre/chimique) mais agréable Par contre presque aucune saveur hormis le sel, un peu déçu Strong smell (buttery/chemical) but pleasant Very faint taste however, it mostly tastes like salt, almost no buttery taste
