The theatres I worked at used Canola oil… a little better for you than most of the alternatives. And definitely go with Flavacol salt if you want it like at the theatres. That butter salt is the best thing ever (a little goes a LOT way, as it’s potent stuff), and adds ten times the amount of flavor than the nasty ‘butter’ topping does. Oh, and careful handling the popcorn salt… it’ll stain your hands orange for a bit if you leave it on your skin.
It depends. If you want real movie theater taste use coconut oil, available at sites such as Snappy popcorn on the internet. For healthier alternatives there are canola and other oils available. Search the internet for popcorn supplies and don’t count out using Flavacol to make your corn taste just like at the theater.

Pop-All It’s a liquid popping oil from our local distributor. We use it in our Gold rush popper, for our customers at the Lawn Mower Business.
