Franklin’s Gourmet Popcorn Butter Flavored Coconut Oil - 30 oz- Zero Trans Fat - Vegan & Gluten Free Movie Theater Popcorn Butter Oil

My first job was at a movie theater and I used to make the tastiest popcorn. Since then I have had what one would call a Popcorn addiction. I started with microwave version, good but not quite the movie theater taste. Then 5 or 6 years ago my husband bought me a stand alone Northern Popcorn Machine. I was over the moon! He also purchased a big box of the pre filled packages. A REALLY BIG BOX. It has taken all this time to go through it all. And again,it was good, but still not the prefect movie theater quality. I spend countless hours scouring the internet and Amazon searching for that elusive taste.Now that we FINALLY finished that huge box, it was left to me to uncover the secret to the bestest popcorn EVER. It's been months of trying different recipes. I knew it HAD to be coconut oil and it gave it that crunch, but not that buttery flavor. I tried other flavored oils, not there yet. Changed the corn kernals to Orvilles, good size and fluffy, but still not there.Then I came across Franklin’s Gourmet Popcorn Butter Flavored Coconut Oil. OMG, this is IT. Perfect deep yellow coloring, that burst of buttery goodness popping in your mouth. I have achieved the holy grail of Popcorn goodness! The amount of compliments I now get on my popcorn is endless. I am in LOVE with this stuff. In short time I have gone through 3 -30oz containers. (I really meant it when I said addiction). You don't even need to add additional butter, but you could use this stuff as a topping as well. I can't recommend this enough. I just wish is came in a better container to pour straight into the popcorn machine. I have found that if I add the kernels first then pour enough of this oil to just cover them, it comes out perfect every time. I am killing it! Yea to Franklin's for helping me achieve Popcorn Greatness!

Use this oil frequently for popping corn in stovetop popper. Does not smoke or burn. Imparts a great mild flavor that you can enhance with some flavored or unflavored popcorn salt.

Don't let the price scare you. This is a high quality popcorn oil with a superb taste. If you like great popcorn flavor, this is the one. I've tried many other brands, nothing compares. I've ordered it 4 times now!

Very good. Nice butter flavor. A little pricey.

I purchased this to replace the LouAna Butter Flavored Canola Oil that I use in my Gold Medal 2552 12/14 oz popcorn machine, which has great flavor to begin with, but I wanted something a little "healthier", and supposedly less staining on the kettle. My 14 year old son said it was the best tasting popcorn yet. The flavor and coloring of the popcorn was spot on for those looking for buttery flavor, it wasn't overpowering for those who don't necessarily like butter flavor. The main thing I noticed, was that the popcorn was "lighter", meaning each kernel popped had a light and airy taste and feel about it, much more so than with any other oils that I've used in the past, which we liked.All in all, a great product. The price will make it cost prohibitive for fundraising events and such, so I will look for another brand for bulk sizes, but for home use, I definitely recommend it. I am also going to try some regular cooking with it, like fried eggs, etc..

I feel like I need to review this again.Listen people, this is the bomb if you want old fashioned drive-in movie theater popcorn. This is for you.I worked in a drive-in in the early 60’s and this is almost exactaly like the stuff we used. I think the secret here is to be sure to use enough so,that every popped kernel gets covered.In my electric poper I use 1&1/3 cup of corn and a half cup of Franklins, more if you like. I plug in the popper and let it get hot.Then I add the Franklins and let it melt.Once you see the oil “dance”, add the kernels and let them sizzle a little. Every kernel should be covered in oil.Then I put the see through plastic cover bowl over and let the popping begin.Once the lid is full and begins to spin on its own, I hold the edges together and shake it so the popped kernels fall to the bottom to pop.I keep shaking until I hear no popping and the corn doesn’t burn.Unplug and flip it over and TaDa!! great popcorn, great taste and I get all the compliments. One batch is never enough.I hope you try this...NO, I don’t work for Franklin..I’m a 70 year old California Girl and I know my popcorn.

I would give a 0 star if available, this has to be the most expensive small container of popping oil i have ever purchased, this tiny jar for 30+ dollars is ridiculous. I have bought other brands before for much less for 1 gallon containers. If I could have returned it I would have immediately. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Not worth the price.

1 star for shipping condition, but 5 stars for the product. I've used it several times in our popcorn machine and it works great. Good flavor without being overboard. When it arrived the entire container was broken in half and the box was filled with solidified oil. It soaked through the box, so I'm not sure how USPS didn't notice.
