some people say its a myth, others swear by it. its a preference, especially for cast iron cooking because you want the pan evenly heated first. hot pan cold oil is also a thing for chinese food.

when theaters stopped being a thing, now you need to up your popcorn game to make your theater at home fantasy a reality.

Every thread in the movies forum has become a popcorn cooking thread and I have no issues with this.

i feel its my civic duty to educate everyone on the secret of Flavocol. if you arent using it in your movie popcorn, then you are WRONG.

The super gay dude, screaming, flailing, laughing uncontrollably, and just generally being a flaming faggot the whole time. That asshole almost. ALMOST. Ruined Infinity War for me.
Also had these loud drunk jarheads at the 3D release of Top Gun piss off this old Navy veteran. That was unique.

the cooking thread has moved entirely to cast iron/carbon steel
we still have 1 or 2 holdouts using a teflon pan for eggs

i recently purchased a cast aluminum pan. its a little different from my cast iron, but it isnt bad, its lighter as well. if you're still using teflon, then you be wrong.

the only thing i use that isnt movie theater correct is the cooking oil. i break out the Filippo Berio olive oil to pop the popcorn in the popper.
if you're italian, this is your staple oil you cook everything with.
Costco's Kirkland brand is better than this

cold oil like in the fridge? no i believe why you think thats a myth is b/c when you cook with a wok you don't cook on med-heat, you turn it to 11

this was pretty pointless as everyone talks about popcorn now in all the movie threads, but good luck with the modding.
"better" is subjective. it could be better as in the oil is purer and more "healthy". the Filippo Berio oil has a distinct flavor which is associated with pastas. thats why its the italian people oil because everyone grew up with it and will keep on using it. I'm not putting Costco oil down because i havent tried it, the point is i wont try it because i have Filippo Berio.
