can you use your own popcorn for this or is it a certain kind?

I got this as a gift for my brother but I would think you could use any kind of popcorn.

I have just used both the bagged popcorn as well as the popcorn in plastic containers and have had no problems with either kind popping.

You can use any kind that you want but I would suggest you use coconut oil for your popping oil. It gives the corn a better taste remember a little goes a long way also a little bit of popcorn goes a long way. 1 cup will treat 2 people with no problem.

I have found that any popcorn will do, but you have to follow the instructions in terms of the amount of oil you put in, or else it gets soggy.

You can use your own popcorn. I usually use orville redenbacker-it comes in a jar. Just a little bit of oil and about 1/3 cup of popcorn is perfect.

yes i can use r store-bought popcorn and regular oil but to get better quality its better to use popcorn oil and salt

Yes you can. It is just like the small bottles of popcorn seasoning you buy in the grocery store. The difference is, those bottles are about $2.25 for about an ounce and a half. This stuff is just as good maybe better. And will keep in your pantry for years.

Had one ages ago when I was a scout. Like most scouts, I figured out how to pop popcorn in it. (you need the handle from another kit)

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 found a recipe for kettle corn on their website - required you to add sugar just before popping. Came out wondefully!

I'm not sure but I don't think it would come out the same. I think it works best when using oil with the popcorn.

You can use any popcorn or popcorn oil. This unit works very well and so far is not showing any signs of trouble. I make 2 batches every workday.Paul rothstein

Yes, put it in with popcorn and use according to taste, starting out with 1/2 teaspoon.

I've used Orville Redenbacher's butter flavoured oil, and some shake-on stuff that I bought at WalMart, and it's fine. I haven't experimented much as I prefer just to pop the corn and add butter and salt after it's popped.

The instructions recommend using 1 tbl spoon of oil or butter. We use canola oil and the popcorn comes out perfect every time with a minimum of unpopped kernels.

I don't know for sure but I don't see why not. We use a popcorn machine...like a miniature theater machine. Sorry for not having a better answer for you.

I tired it in a regular kettle and shook it a little but it wasn't enough to stir the oil and salt so the popcorn, although popped, was very bland. However, if you had a hand popcorn kettle with a turning lever on the bottom of the kettle and could stir it by hand it should turn out fine.

I am not sure I just put it on my counter. You can use the professional popcorn packets just use half at a time tastes just like the movies

Yeah, great on popcorn! (If you like/can tolerate the flavor)! Thanks for all of your time! Thanks for reading my comments! God bless!

if you open it , put the oil in and then the popcorn in yes, I don't see why it wouldn't work but it's an expensive way to do it.
