Poppers
Picking your popping method is the first step in determining your popping essentials. I like to rank them in order of easiest cleanup:
Easiest…. Hotpop Silicone Bowl, Presto Hot Air Popper, Stir Crazy, Whirly Pop … Hardest
Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper with Metal Gears
West Bend Stir Crazy Electric Hot Oil Popcorn Popper (6qt)
Presto Poplite Hot Air Popper
Hotpop Microwave Popcorn Popper
Corn
Next you want to pick what you pop. I prefer the Jumbo Pop in the Presto Hot Air Popper and Amish Country, Heirloom, or Orville Redenbacher’s in the other poppers
Tiny But Mighty Heirloom Popcorn
Orville Redenbacher’s Original Gourmet Yellow Popcorn Kernels
Pop Secret Big and Fluffy Jumbo Popping Corn
Amish Country Popcorn
Buttery Flavor
This is the key in getting that movie theater flavor. The Dutchman’s should be used with the Stir Crazy and the Whirly Pop.
Use the Kernel Seasons with the Hotpop and, only after popping, with the Hot Air Popper.
Kernel Season’s Movie Theater Butter Popcorn Oil
Dutchman’s Popcorn Butter Flavored Coconut Oil
Saltiness
Flavacol is an amazing ingredient. It’s basically a very salty salt and you should use it sparingly.
The Morton’s salt is a good “regular” salt alternative, if you’re not ready for the intense Flavacol. It’s finely ground which helps it stick to your kernels.

Accessories
This spray pump is great when used with the Kernel Season’s Movie Theater Butter Oil.
The shaker is great for sprinkling Flavacol onto popped corn.
