Were can I purchase the oil/flavoring/butter/popcorn for a 2oz kettle popper I purchases?

Does not look like there are any local theater supply places in the Pottstown PA area.

I've been using store bought canola oil w/ bulk purchased popcorn & flavoring salt in my 4 oz popper. I tried the ready portioned packets, but felt they were messy, salty & greasy. It took me a few tried to get the ratios where I like them, but I'm very happy with the results. I use a baster to squirt the oil in the kettle and measuring scoops for the popcorn & salt. Also, it's important to get movie theater popcorn bags...it makes the popcorn taste better!

Some how I believe this! LOL!

I have read that Coconut oil is the best to use?

Well, I don't think that popcorn bags have any detectable affect on the taste of the popcorn. I have done several DBTs with using different bags with same popcorn in them, and the tasters correct answers have never reached a percentage to confirm that the correct score didn't occur by chance.

Also which popcorn is better or is used in the theaters? white, yellow and which brand?

What size bags should I get??

#4 (1.1oz) #2, #3, perhaps the 2oz 12"???

I have no idea how much popcorn these things hold???

Also what about a small, inexpensive butter topping warmer/dispenser? Does not need to be big... whats the best way to go here?????

hi Mark

Id just use a microwave to melt the better. I have a commerical butter dispenser but it is a real PITA because if you dont quickly use the butter you will have mold build up.

Gregg

PS: I have a sencore VP-300 HD signal generator and a Progressive Labs analyzer for sale for CHEAP. I sent you an email but it bounced. Send me an email if interested.

The Gold'N Touch topping:

Is already in liquid form so it is just a matter of warming it up. I was thinking about using a small plastic pump dispenser that is microwaveable to warm it up but I am not sure if Rubbermaid or whoever makes one.

I sent you an email Gregg.
