Gold Medal Flavacol Popcorn Seasoning Salt

Absolute must have for anyone cooking popcorn. Works brilliantly with my air popper. Helps give popcorn a cinema style buttery salt flavour. Absolutely enormous supply that'll last more than its moneys worth. A tablespoon of this sprinkled over a large portion of popcorn before cooking gives more than enough flavour. Definitely recommend for anyone cooking popcorn from scratch.

I love this! It is very salty so be careful but it tastes great and the carton lasts for ages. We use this in popcorn made on the hob and I would go as far to say as it is better than cinema popcorn!

This is some funny stuff. Everything about it from the name, to the packaging, to the info on the packaging screams 1950s America. That said, it seems like a great product! I am trying to give up my nightly calorific pretzels in favor of popping popcorn at home, and I bought a silicone popcorn popping bowl here on Amazon which works great but in terms of trying to stay healthy, just adding salt to that which falls right off is a bummer. I'm American and at home we can get all kinds of low cal popcorn sprays and flavorings but not here in the UK sadly. However this stuff is really fine and sits nicely on the popcorn. As noted elsewhere, it's really salty and a little goes a long way. My husband asked me if we are opening up our own cinema with it :) It's basically a lifetime supply. I wish you could buy a smaller amount and I didn't like spending £7 on some fun salt, but it has helped with giving up my pretzels. If you're on a weight loss journey, this won't have calories, but if you're on an overall health journey, I slightly dread to think what chemicals it does have! But I'm enjoying it. Another reviewer said it's not for adding after you pop. but that's what I've been doing and it works great. It seems to sit nicely in and around the nooks and crannies of the popcorn, unlike regular salt.

Wow, absolutely makes your home made popcorn taste amazing. You’ll need to experiment to get your perfect level of buttery saltiness, it’s strong stuff so go easy to start. I put it over the unpopped kernels in the pan and then add more once popped if needed. About half a teaspoon total to a third of a cup of kernels. It also works as a ‘base’ flavour if you are making sweet popcorn. The pack may seem pricey but with the tiny amount you use, it’s a bargain.

My children enjoy the flavour of this however there are 2 main issues with it, firstly it really does not stick to the popcorn, we’ve tried a few different ways to get it to stick and the most effective is to spray it with some oil; we used a coconut oil spray even then most of the seasoning falls off and just sits in the bottom of the bag - this is really frustrating. Second issue is it’s very costly, admittedly you don’t have to use a great amount for a bowl of popcorn but I think for the quality it’s overpriced.

Really nice product gives a lovely flavour, doest work with popcorn that has been air popped (popcorn makers, microwave dry popped) but works lovely if you have done it in a pan as the air popped is to dry for it to stick to. I dont think we will ever use this full carton in our lifetime as you only need a tiny amount, for a medium sized pan of popcorn (giving you a large bowl or 4 popcorn cones) I use half a teaspoon any more than that and its too salty to eat. We have about 2 bowls a week and we have only used a tiny amount. So very good value for money. Gives off a lovely smell of buttery popcorn and a really nice flavour

This favourite works okay? Recommended

OK, as per title, there are NO instructions whatsoever on the cartn. As I've never used this product before, I didn't know if it was to be sprinkled on after making the popcorn, before,, does it work in a stovetop pot, etc? O spent a lot of time online trying to find out how to use and how much. There isn't anything on the M website. (Not that I could find anyway) Well, to help others here is the long and short: You can use it as long as you use an oil to make your popcorn. So, OK for machines and stove top, as long as you use oil/far/butter. No good for pure dry air machines. In other words, this is NOT post popped add on sprinkle. Heat the oil and when it' ready for the unpopped corn, you throw in that and half a t-spoon of the powder and make sure it is mixed well. It is a very, very fine powder in fact and quite salty. 1/2 t-spoon is more than enough for a large tub of finished popcorn. I make popcorn the old fashioned way, in a large stovetop pot with a lid. Easy to use, I mix it with the kernels before I chuck them into the hot oil, then shake the pot until it's all mixed together. You have to shake it anyway to make sure the kernels are all coated in oil and don't stick, so no change. It does give a buttery flavour and is nice on the palate. As I said, it is very salty so a little goes a long way which means 1 litre carton will last a lifetime ..... Seemed expensive, but given how little you need each time, it's actually very cheap. I might try some other flavours, as and when. Yes, I would recommend this is you make your own popcorn often. If you only make it, say 1/2 a dozen times a year, probably not worth the expense though.
