Question 1

Do you just put some of this in a salt shaker to use?

Accepted Answer

NO !!!!! I bought a shaker to use with it and quickly realized it is NOT that kind of salt, lol. It is a buttery-flavored STRONG salt.

You put 1/2 TEAspoon of Flavacol in with 1tablespoon coconut oil (NO MORE than 3/4 TEAspoon of Flavacol & only that much if you like an EXTREME FREAKISH amount of salt), Melt for a few seconds then add 1/3 to 1/2 cup popcorn (if microwave popper hit "popcorn setting" in the microwave & "add 30 seconds").

The chances of a normal person or couple using the whole carton in a lifetime is doubtful to me, lol.

Question 2

What is the "artificial flavor" that is listed in the ingredients?  Having a generic label like that makes me nervous about what I am ingesting...

Accepted Answer

I was looking at this, but haven't purchased.  I too was curious about the secret "ingredient(s)," so I found this on livestrong.com, http://www.livestrong.com/article/361445-nutrition-information-on-flavacol-butter-flavored-seasoned-salt/:  "Original Flavacol contains only four ingredients: salt, artificial flavor, and FD&C yellows #5 and #6 to provide popcorn with a buttery yellow color."

Question 3

Do you put this in with the popcorn while you are popping it or sprinkle it after it's popped? I have a 6 qt. popper, how much do you use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you mix it in with the oil and popcorn while its heating up.  As far as quantity, a little bit goes a long way.  You use a teaspoon for every 6-8 oz of kernels.

Question 4

can this be used on hot air popcorn or microwaved (no oil) popcorn?

Accepted Answer

I sprinkle it on microwave pop corn so i don't see why you couldn't put it on hot air popcorn. But if you spray your popcorn with a little oil after popping, the flavacol will stick to the popcorn.
