Does the popcorn taste like authentic movie theatre popcorn? I am not looking for microwave popcorn.

I buy the bag of kernels, I don't add all the butter to mine but still it is comparable in taste to theatre popcorn in my opinion.

It does taste like movie popcorn. I bought the pre-packaged popcorn here on Amazon as well. Our Family loves it!!!

I have not tried the popcorn from this particular model because I purchased it as a Christmas Gift that I sent to Texas. However, I purchased a different model but same concept and the popcorn is amazing. I gave it to my son who lives locally for his family and they use it several times a day. The older grandson "13" uses it himself. It does NOT taste like microwave popcorn at all. Even better if used with flavor powders such as Ranch or Cheddar.

I don't find it at all cardboardy. I just went and opened my bottle and took a whiff. I can smell a bit of a vitamin B smell, which isn't always the most pleasant. I don't find the taste to be displeasing. I use it in a lot of soups and savoury dishes, and I like to sprinkle it over air popped popcorn.

That is exactly what I use. It is amazing stuff. You will have the movie theater smell and taste.

It is microwaveable. I used less than the recommended amount of popcorn kernels and all of the popcorn still didn't pop. Most of the ones that did pop scorched. I have not used it again. It is very small.

No this is pure coconut oil with beta carotene for the orange color. I use 4 table Spoons of the oil with 1 tsp of flavocol and 1/2 cup of corn. this is what gives the salty movie theater butter taste. I also purchased movie theater buttery topping you'd never know you weren't at the movies. Gotta have the Flavocol.

Well I would say everyone here has wrong answers. I have used regular white coconut oil and then the coconut oil with beta carotene in it (red colored) and they do taste different. The red does give it a better "movie theater" type taste. It will make it taste slightly more "buttery" when corn is popped in it (you can't just pour it on top for the taste). Yes it does make it "look" more buttery but it also makes it taste more buttery too. I don't think most of these people did back to back taste tests.

This popcorn maker is AWESOME. Pops a batch with in 2minutes. I highly recommend using coconut oil for that real movie theater taste!

I know that coconut oil is a "good" oil compared to others. I didn't know movie theatres currently use it to pop corn as I thought, as you did, that movie theatre popcorn is a real killer. I just heard something on the radio about the dangers of movie popcorn, in fact. But the info was on a medium sized container of buttered popcorn. I wonder if the worst problems associated with theatre popcorn are related to what they put on it after it is popped....specifically the "butter" (is it really just butter?). I use coconut oil for cooking and for "pulling" each morning, so using it for popcorn will be great for me. I know that coconut oil is a "good" oil compared to others.

I LOVE IT! I don't put butter on top of it, I have it melted in the bowl that I dump the popcorn into. Remember, just like any microwave popcorn, make sure you stop it when the corn stops popping. There will always be some unpopped kernels. Oh, I do have to tip it slightly to get it in the oven on top of the turntable. Then I obviously have to tip it when I take it out too. That's the ONLY bad thing. It is tall.

Yeah, great on popcorn! (If you like/can tolerate the flavor)! Thanks for all of your time! Thanks for reading my comments! God bless!

yes, it does. We have a mini-movie theater style popcorn machine. The popcorn bag comes with oil and the seeds. You don't need anything else to have movie theater tasting popcorn. We loved it.

Plain coconut oil will pop the same. The coloring just makes it look like movie theater popcorn. It works great and if you get some Flavacol salt and flavoring it makes it real close. Easy on the Flavacol though.

It takes very yummy. It depends on what you pop the kernels in. There are kernel and oil packages that you can by. It has the perfect amount of butter oil, salt and popcorn.

I used the Great Northern Popcorn "kit" with the popcorn kernels, coconut oil and salt and it looks and tastes just like movie theater popcorn. My grandsons love the popcorn.

Flavacol, Wabash Family Farms Home Theater Popcorn Cooking Oil, and Organic Popcorn. Yum....

The front of the Bob's Red Mill popcorn package I received a month ago state Non GMO Project Verified. This seems to me to be the best tasting and healthiest popcorn out on the market today. I place 1/4 cup in a paper lunchbag, fold top over several times, lay bag on its side and microwave. Times may vary for individual microwaves. I stop microwave when popping sounds slow down as I do not like burnt popcorn. Add toppings of your choice (I prefer a little butter and salt). Enjoy!!!!

Yes, it does taste good. As good, or better than movie theater, and better than microwave popcorn. I work at a popcorn company (Popweaver), so I do know a little bit about popcorn. This popcorn popper pops as good as any professional popper. Its just smaller (4Oz.) at a time
