tastes good
Smells more buttery than it tastes but really good! It's like a full milk carton size so depending on how often/how strong you like it, it will last quite a while!

Perfect popcorn
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.

Wish there were instructions on the carton
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.

Best popcorn favouring ever!
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!

Nice but expensive and doesn’t stick to the popcorn
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.

It's All About The Magic Recipe!
OK - in the UK popcorn isn't a big thing - but in the states they've got it down to a fine art...Folks either go in search (for literally years!) for the authentic premier movie theatre taste or have special recipes.Most this stuff you can readily get in the UK but one or two bits you'll probably have to ship from the US - just search around the usual sites - it is available if not cheap - going direct sometimes helpsThe authentic US movie theatre recipe:- 1 Whirligig popper- 4 TBLsp Extra virgin coconut oil (depending how big your popper is :)- 4 TBLsp Snappy Popcorn Butter Burst Buttery Oil (this brand has stronger color & flavor)- Heat up & add one small cup quality popcorn kernels- 1-2 TEAsp Flavacol salt - slowly sprinkle all over so it doesn't go to the btm. This stuff is so fine it dissolves in the oil & sticks, has butter aroma, & a concentrated zing. Don't put too much on or it will rip your face off lol. Now cook..Wait til all the popping's v nearly finished and your done - tweak exact combo to your taste & whirligigSeasoning:- 1 Hand pump dispenser (Snappy comes in a 1 Gallon can)- Slightly warm some Snappy Butter Burst Oil & lightly apply n turn (it's a topping too - great movie taste)- Or for purists melt some clarified butter - apply n turn. To make clarified butter just microwave a block, let it set in a tray, pour off the water. That's why regular butter always makes the popcorn soggy.- Alternatively, instead of a butter topping just smother it in cheese powder - Stilton is totally scrummy.Takes a little practice, but get this just right & it will make your family n friends go wowFor a whole bunch of different recipes try snappypopcorn.com (there's other suppliers & recipes too)Most folks don't know the authentic US ingredients so here it is and hope ya'll enjoy :D
