Review: THIS + Flavacol + Butter = AWESOME - I have identified 3 critical parts to the movie theatre popcorn you love. I will break it down for you: 1- Paragon Coconut Popping Oil = Provides the 'nutty/toasted' flavor, the odor that permeates the local cinema, and yellow hue to the popped corn 2- Flavacol = The yellow ultra-fine salt of good cinema popcorn. 3- *Buttery topping = the goo you get when you ask for "extra 'butter' " at the concessions counter or clarified butter[1]. My current recipe: (2014-05-29) Lindy's Stainless Steel Popcorn Popper for popping (you can use pots to great effect too, no worries) 1/2 cup popcorn kernels 1/2 tsp Flavocol 36 grams coconut oil (I have a digital kitchen scale) 2 tbs salted butter (you can use unsalted too) *(I adjusted the recipe above to make a smaller yield so that it usually fits in the Lindy's pot - the larger recipe required dumping some popcorn out mid-batch, and I realized Makes ... well ... a really big bowl. We hold it in a large but shallow stainless mixing bowl. Enough for three adults who really like to eat popcorn. 660 calories for the entire bowl. I eat about 1/2 bowl ... ergo about 330 calories. Directions: [] Popcorn With stove on high, put Flavocol and coconut oil in kettle and melt then swish a little to distribute. Dump in popcorn and close lid. Stir kettle with crank. This recipe makes more than can fit in the Lindy's kettle, so I quickly pour off SOME of the extra when the kettle fills and put it back on the stove. [] Clarified butter topping Put the butter in a small bowl or mug and microwave _as low as it goes_ for three to five minutes. The objective is to melt the butter slowly and prevent it from 'boiling and crackling'. If it boils for too long, it gets an offish flavor, kind of like freezer burned food to be honest. If done right, you'll have a thin layer of whitish goo in the bowl on top of a deep yellow clear layer with a little white goo in the bottom. Skim off the whitish layer on top (if it forms) with a spoon and discard. Carefully pour the clear yellow layer over your popcorn but _not_ the white bottom stuff - yes, you'll have to waste a little yellow layer to do this. The white top and bottom layers are what makes popcorn soggy - the clear yellow layer is pure oil and will NOT make it soggy. (thanks to all below who raised my awareness to this fact). Product notes: :: Cost :: I hesitated buying this at first ... thinking "$15 ... is it really worth it?" I procrastinated buying Flavacol because it seemed silly that shipping cost more than the product itself. Well, now after 1.5 years I still haven't used up either product and spent less than $30 total for popcorn that is absolutely incredible. UPDATE- my flavocol box has lasted five tubs of coconut oil plus some. :: 100% coconut oil melts at 72-74F :: I read a review that stated the purchaser was dissatisfied because it wasn't 100% Coconut oil. The label on the back (as of writing of this review) says "76 (degree symbol)" coconut oil plus beta carotene NOT "76% Coconut oil" . It's 100% Coconut Oil mixed with a small amount beta carotene (for yellow color). The "76 (degree symbol)" refers to the melting temperature of the coconut oil and thus this popcorn "oil" is a _solid_ at room temperature (less than 76F). I had it sitting on the counter when it was 80 degrees indoors and it started to melt ... later that same evening when the A/C brought the house to 74 degrees for a couple of hours ... it began solidifying again. Neat. :: No buttery flavor in this :: Though convincingly yellow in color, this popcorn oil provides NO butter flavor. :: Refrigeration :: It does not require refrigeration once opened. :: Shelf Life :: Pretty near unlimited - This tub lasts around a year at our house before we run out. Since it contains no water or sugars, bacteria really have no way of getting started in there. I mean ... how long would you trust a bottle of canola oil? Pretty much indefinitely, right? :: What does it DO and why do I NEED it? :: Coconut Oil provides the 'missing ingredient' between cinema popcorn an your homemade popcorn - that nutty, toasty, movie-theatre smell. Been using some form of vegetable-oil haven't you? It's okay, but sometimes it's unpleasantly oily. It JUST doesn't taste correct, right? Use this 'popping oil' (solid, remember) for your stove-top popcorn and you're done. (I have tried 'gourmet' popcorns, white popcorn, etc ... but have found that plane-jane barebones no-frills yellow popcorn from your local store actually tastes best.) If you want 100% theatre-like popcorn ... you'll have to substitute #3> above with the 'butter-flavored topping' of your choice. But, to be honest, that goo kind of turns my stomach. To prevent butter from softening your popcorn follow the directions above to clarify it. Bliss. Heaven. It's soooooooo good.
Review: Popcorn has never tasted so good! - I needed a new popcorn popping pan which I purchased from desertcart just before Christmas. In the add it mentioned trying Coconut oil for popping popcorn. I never heard of this oil, so I checked it out on desertcart. The Coconut oil had great reviews so I purchase some to give it a try. Well, popcorn has never tasted so good and I use only about a teaspoon to pop about six quarts at a time. My wife said that I should not use this oil because it is a hard solid based oil and not a liquid oil like Olive oil. She said it has trans-fat and not good for you, I told her that I only use so little Coconut oil and that I can't believe it would clog anyones arteries. The Coconut oil came in such a large container that I have given small containers of it to members in my family too try and they all say it works wonders with popcorn. Today I was watching the Dr. OZ show on my television January 25, 2011 and Dr. OZ said that Coconut oil has gotten a bad rap and that it is as good as Olive oil. He said it has trans fat but that it will not clog your arteries in fact it is very good for you. Dr.OZ stated that the molecules in the Coconut oil are shorter and different than other solid oils and great for frying too. Dr.OZ gave seven ways to use this oil and that it is great for cooking and has a great taste to. So keep on popping your popcorn with Coconut oil and enjoy the great flavor it adds to you foods.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 1)  How long does a gallon of oil last at 1/3 cup of popcorn/week?  2)  How do you get the wife to stop laughing when your GALLON arrives?**
A: I go through one in about 6 months.  I do about 1 cup of popcorn for my batch.  I use 4 heaping melon ball scoops of coconut oil, 1 tablespoon and a squirt of snappy butter burst (have it in a squeeze bottle), and just shy of 2 tsp of Flavacol.  Makes perfect popcorn every time.

**Q: is this product butter flavored?**
A: It is not butter flavored. However it does give it that yellow color and if you add flavacol salt (also sold on Amazon) it does make amazing tasting popcorn. I am content with that however my husband will add kernel seasons movie theater butter to his popcorn for a more buttery taste.

**Q: is it hydrogenated?**
A: Ccoconut oil can be processed into partially or fully hydrogenated oil to increase its melting point. Virgin coconut oils melt at 24 °C (76 °F),   The melting point of hydrogenated coconut oil is 36-40 °C (97-104 °F).  This product liquifies at 76 degrees so apparently is NOT hydrogenated.

**Q: what is the difference between Paragon Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil (one gallon) and Paragon 1015 Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil (one Gallon) Cost differe**
A: No difference at all. 1015 is the manufacturers Part number. We sell this product as an authorized dealer of Paragon. THE POPCORN SHOP is our eBay Store.

*by D***R on May 13, 2017*

I've been shelling out the big bucks for "extra" virgin coconut oil and, between cooking and skincare and my dogs, I go through a lot of it. We're on low fixed income in our household, so I had to find an alternative. I don't know if it's true or not, but I read a pretty well-presented article (not by a company with a vested interest) stating that refined coconut oil is only inferior in the sense that its nutrient and antioxidant levels are lower than virgin coconut; that "extra virgin" is a meaningless advertising slogan; and that the 76-degree coconut oil that this Paragon is is likely what they call RBD (Refined Bleached Deodorized). One analysis said that, while still healthy, R"BD is robbed off some of its nutrients due to processing, but it should be noted that it is not too far behind." I figure the addition of beta carotene (an antioxidant and precursor to Vitamin A) for color in the Paragon oil probably offsets any loss, and I find I prefer the oil without the coconut smell and taste. And a gallon is a LOT. When I first received mine, and it was still mostly liquid from being on a hot mail truck, I poured some of the oil into pint or half-pint mason jars and more into candy-making trays (1 tablespoon serving sizes) and put them the refrigerator. I know this oil doesn't have to be refrigerated, but since I have more room in my fridge than in my pantry and I know I won't be using what's in the mason jars for a while, I figure it's not going to hurt it and may even help keep the flavor from going off over time, as some have reported. I popped out the individual servings and put them in a large ziplock bag which I also will keep in the fridge; it helps with tracking calories with My Fitness Pal and also makes it easy to just grab a few "pats" to make popcorn or to use in a stir fry. Importantly, this stuff just tastes good. I love how it makes the popcorn seem buttered, and a small amount of Flavacol added to popcorn or vegetables afterward tastes very yummy.
