Adding Sugar To A Theater Popcorn Maker

I have a theater popcorn maker, but when I try to add sugar to my popcorn it doesent stick!!?

I’ve tried butter but that’s too sickly, I want it to be like cinema popcorn and I want it to be easy to make. please help!

Depends on what kinda maker you got. I’ve done it both ways in my life. An air popper is made very clean, just the natural kernals but you would have to add butter for any toppings to stick. The other way is stove-top. you put oil in the bottom of a big lidded pot. put the toppings in with the oil or on afterwards. That’s very time sensative, might take afew times before you have a rhythm down, but it’s worth it. use a healthful oil.

You can put like a fourth cup of water in a pan then add a cup of sugar. while stiring bring it to a hard boil and when it just starts to turn a little brown pour it over the popcorn and mix it up quickly because the sugar will set up fast.

The second answer (I think) is correct. Caramelize some water and sugar first usually 1 is to 1 is the ratio. Don’t mix it since the sugar will recrystallize again just brush water on the sides since the sides is the first part to burn then when its caramelized already you can pour it in your popcorn. be careful though because caramel is really hot. i think youll get 3rd degree burn to 4th if it splatter on your skin.
