We run a Vista Pop 106 every night in our classic theatre. We use coconut oil, Weaver popcorn and Flavacol. We are getting requests for flavored popcorn, and would like to experiment. Is there a replacement to the Flavacol salt, so that the popcorn can be directly cooked with the flavoring, or do you simply add the seasoning after it is made? Do you cook it without Flavacol, or do you cook with it, and add seasoning too? Sounds pretty basic, but better to ask first, then to waste a bunch of ingredients trying it out. Thanks!

most seasonings are salt based, i would add both,
( pepsi sales will hit the roof )
i aded some season9ing in my 32 ounce cascade kettle , it burns the seasonings , and requires you steaming the kettle , not sure i would try that on a vista pop kettle .... cheers \Steve

Thanks for the reply! OK, so you make your popcorn as you usually would, then add the seasoning afterwards? Do you use less Flavacol when you flavor the popcorn? How much of the additional seasoning do you use?

Ahhh! OK! What brands/flavors do you use, and who is your preferred supplier? Our concession supplier out of Albuquerque seems to think there is no such thing, which obviously is not true

all that happens when you put seasonin gs in the kettle is you burn the fine powder , it puts black flakes on the corn , you smoke out the machine , and burn the kettle , ( i did it with my 6 ounce gold medal tonight )
save your self
some trouble , use shakers ......Cheers Steve
