What makes movie theater popcorn so darn good? We'll tell you! It's because they use a butter-flavored oil, so it doesn't get soggy. But you can get the same effect by using clarified butter on that popcorn. If you're staying home more now because of the pandemic, you don't have to miss out. Here's how to make theater-style popcorn at home.
