Author Topic: Source For Coconut Popping Oil? Bill Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-10-2004 01:01 PM                     Anybody know of a source for bag-in-box CLEAR (not the orange stuff) pure coconut popping oil? My concession vendor suddenly discontinued it without warning. It appears to be fairly plentiful in other forms, like giant metal pails, but my equipment is set up for bag-in-box.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2004 10:08 PM                     If the oil isn't yellow I really will not eat it I like my corn poped in yellow coconut oil with lots of savoral  |  IP: Logged Bill Carter Expert Film Handler Posts: 162 From: Minneapolis, Minnesota Registered: Sep 1999 posted 05-11-2004 11:05 AM                     Our customers are different, I guess. We serve white popcorn, popped in clear oil. When we've tried something different, our folks don't like it. Some of 'em even get a little ugly about it!  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-11-2004 11:34 AM                        Gord, you'd like our popcorn...that's our exact recipe! (Well we don't put in LOTS of Savoral but we do put some in, and we have a shaker full of it on the counter.)  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 05-14-2004 03:33 AM                     Hey Bill, I use Clark Foodservice here in the Twin Cities to get our "bag-in-box CLEAR (not the orange stuff) pure coconut popping oil."
