Quoted from gweempose:Have experts reversed their thinking on coconut oil? I remember when the Center for Science in the Public Interest lobbied hard to have coconut oil banned from movie theaters. This was a while ago, though, so things could have changed. I definitely agree that coconut oil makes the best popcorn, hands down.
No, coconut oil is still a saturated fat. Consumers did not like the flavor of the alternative oils. So, little by little, everyone switched back to coconut oil.
Quoted from robotron911:Buy it. It's not worth the mess. And whatever you do, don't put anything other than popcorn kernels, oil and seasoning in your kettle.
Great advice. Caramel corn is tumbled, with the sugars/syrup added during tumbling after the corn is popped.
You don't want sugars burnt into your kettle.
There are great recipe's out there for baking caramel corn - popping, coating, and then baking. Still, a big PITA.
Want great caramel corn? Google Nut's On Clark in Chicago. Expensive, but well worth it.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:I sound like a weirdo with the cleaning comments, lol, but what's involved in cleaning the hot dog roller? My wife saw it over my shoulder and thinks it's cool.
With the grill still hot, rub the rollers with a couple ice cubes. The gunk falls right off. Then, when cool, wipe with a little soapy water to remove the small amount of grease left on the rollers.
That's how we clean them in a commercial environment.
Quoted from ddebuss:Wondered about "saving" the unpopped ones and adding them to later batches or making an unpopped kernel batch. Thoughts?
Not sure how well this works. Popcorn 'pop's because of the moisture in the seed. You'd think that the heat from the first batch would dry out the kernal. Low moisture might be the reason why it didn't pop in the first place.
Gold Medal dealers sell yellow, food grade popcorn bags that the industry uses. If I remember correctly, they hold about 2lbs each. They are cylindrical and stack nicely.
Quoted from shepP:Does anyone know what kind of large bags should be used so store popcorn? I'm talking about garbage size. The equivalent of 30 8oz popcorn batches. It's for a charity function. I know they sell large clear recycle bags but I'm not sure if they are safe for food and a lot of them have added chemicals/powders to reduce smell.
