Does anyone buy this just to add to the Great Northern packs? When we go to the theater we like to load our popcorn up with extra butter.

It has no salt at all so it won't taste like butter actually. I use it in all my cooking recipes in place of shorting and to replace some if the butter.

Yes. My only complaint is its small capacity. If you've got the extra money, get a BIG one. This one only pops about enough popcorn for three or four of the little bags and if you're popping for a roomful of little kids... don't even think about using this to supply adults with popcorn.

Yes. I put the butter in first (with a little vegetable oil) then the popcorn and a little salt and it all pops together.

I would think so - you put it in with the oil and popcorn. Just adds salt / flavor to it.

It is a nice size machine and may work for you. We use the 8oz. packages and we fill 2 extra large bowls up. Now you could pop 2-3 packages and pop more as you start to run low. It is a very nice machine and we have enjoyed it very much. The popcorn taste just like what you get at the movie theater and there is a light that keeps the popcorn warm. I'd say give it a shot.

Funny you should ask. Just spent the entire day popping corn for the middle school teachers. I used Great Northern 4oz popcorn packs. They work great. Do not get anything bigger than 4oz.

Hello. I use regular popcorn and oil. I buy the $2.00 bag from Walmart and I use canola oil but anything is fine. I use real butter in my kettle also with the oil. I hope this helps you out.

I use Orville Redenbacher's "Popcorn" and "Popping & Topping". Works fine for me.

Hi there! I used the Orville Redenbocker oil(think I spelled that right) that has the butter already in it...and measure 2 tbsp and let it warm up for about 30-45 seconds in the popper then add whatever popcorn you want to use. Everyone has a certain popcorn they buy. You will LUV this popcorn maker! My family does. Hope this helped. :-D

No. It's just coconut oil and beta carotene (for color). If you want "butter" flavor try searching Flavacol. I use the snappy coconut oil and the Flavacol and it tastes (and looks) just like movie theater popcorn.

I used the Great Northern Popcorn "kit" with the popcorn kernels, coconut oil and salt and it looks and tastes just like movie theater popcorn. My grandsons love the popcorn.

ours is "November,2016". I know that sometimes when you find a good deal it is already or almost out of date. This however, is two years out from date of sale.....so very good. We have used two bags of our four bag order and it is great popcorn with little or few "old maids". Another is sign that it is fresh!

In an emergency (popcorn emergency), I once used shortening and it popped the popcorn just fine. Bacon grease would probably be similar (but have a better flavor).

Iam not sure, because it might go inside the machine. But after I make some popcorn I add my own butter. But it would be cool if we could add butter inside the popper.

I am so sorry that I don't use butter to make popcorn but I use olive oil after I popped them always.So I am so sorry that I cannnot anwer your need at all...I reccomend you to use olive oil more than butter, it is healthy for us...I think.And this pop conr maker has a recipe inside so it can answer your question about butter!

Movie theater popcorn is fine if you don't have them add the butter/fake butter. The oil used for popping it isn't too bad. It only takes about 2 tablespoons of oil to pop a huge amount of popcorn, you might easily add 3 or 4 times that much butter adding it afterwards from the dispenser machine.
