Review: Franklin's Gourmet Popcorn

So, we are huge popcorn fiends in my family! In fact it is 9am, and I am eating popcorn! Franklins Gourmet Popcorn Does not disappoint! They are a small family owned business based out of Seattle, WA. (Supporting the home state!) They come in prepackaged, proportioned packages. Everything you need to make delicious popcorn comes together. They are sold exclusively through amazon.

They have different size packages you can purchase from 2oz all the way to 12oz each one comes with 24 packages., I received the 6oz one for review. 14lbs of popcorn later...

So, directions are easy. You can use a popper, or a regular pot. Since, I do not have a popper, I used a pot on the stove. I tried two different size pots, I found the bigger one to be better for this size package. Now, the directions say to cut open and add everything. I did do this, the first time I made it. However, I have found, that the oil which looks to be liquid in their pictures. Is solid when it arrives, so the best way to do it, is to let the oil melt, then add the popcorn kernels and seasoning salt. I did make one batch with the salt added after it was popped, and found it made no difference.  The one negative I can say, is I wish there was more oil, I noticed that the popcorn first popped is more coated with flavor than at the bottom, of course.Then, there is clumpy bits on the bottom of my pan. (Super easy to clean up)  What I did, when adding the kernels and salt was shake my pot so they were all coated with oil.  This seems to help a little. As far as popping goes. There is WAY, and I mean WAY less unpopped kernals than I normally have! HUGE bonus there!

The residue left in the pot

As far as flavor hands down the best. Now, would I say its a match for movie theater? Not quite, but, I do believe thats because I was making it in a pot, and Franklins contains natural products, and not a bunch of over processed whatever that is, they sell at the theater. I actually prefer Franklins over theater popcorn. Its buttery, without being saturated and gross. Light and fluffy, even tastes better the next day too! Now, apparently I must like really salty popcorn, because I made it and my dad said it was too salty, I do add extra popcorn salt. If I do not add that, he thinks its just the right amount of saltiness, which is great for those that dont like salty popcorn. You can always add, but you cant take away!

I couldn't get a picture, before half of it was eaten!
