How would you make "movie style" butter for pop corn you make on the stove? If you melt butter and pour...!


Question: over it, it gets soggy most of the time. Thanks.

You can buy a bottle of the movie theater style popcorn butter sauce at the grocery store. It is next to the microwave popcorn. Its about 2 dollars but a little goes a long way. My husband and I use it all the time. We like to pop the popcorn on the stove too, then put the butter sauce and salt on it while its still warm. I like that a lot better than the microwave style.

Wait for the butter to cool off a bit before you pour it on the popcorn, and shake the bowl constantly so the butter doesn't all end up on part of the corn and other spots are bare.

Theater butter is not even really butter, it is artificial and made to not be absorbed by the popcorn as easily as real butter. But I just love the stuff anyway, I always ask for LOTS of it in my XL bucket!

My wife and I like the Orville Reddenbacher microwave popcorn with real "Pour Over Butter". It is hard to find but because it is liquid (like at the movies) and does not have to be heated it does not make the popcorn soggy. The butter is in a separate bag from the popcorn so you can just heat the popcorn and pour the butter over after the popcorn is popped. Enjoy :>)

I melt the butter in the microwave and drizzle it over the popcorn. That way, the popcorn doesn't get soggy in spots and dry in other spots.

Are you using real butter? If you use any other type of substitute, it will make popcorn soggy because water is added. This applies whether you use stick, soft-spread, or any other form of butter imitators. If you know all this already, great, but if you don"t, now you do. Popcorn is my favorite snack and I am real picky about how it looks and tastes.
