No. It is a hot air machine. After corn is popped,we put melted butter over it.Afyer taking it out of the machine.

This is the first popcorn maker I've purchased that uses oil. It's a great unit, makes delicious popcorn. Just be aware that sometimes the oil can get on you if you eat it straight out of the popcorn maker's plastic container. I have to empty yhe popcorn into a bowl, otherwise it may stain my shirt.

Ghee holds up to high temps so you can use it the same as you would other oils. Either as oil to pop corn with or melt it and put it over popcorn.

Yes. It has a non-stick coating but you will want to use oil. I use about a TBL with about 1/3 C popcorn.

I have great success adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil (canola, or olive) to about 3 - 4 oz of corn in a small bowl, mixing to coat the corn, then spreading it out in the popper. Usually every kernal pops.

You can pop popcorn without grease in an air popper but it tastes like left-over cardboard. In the Waring I use a combination of 1-2 tablespoons of butter and approximately 1/3 cup (I never measure it) of canola oil per 1 cup of corn. Tastes great!

Actually, coconut oil doesn't really have a buttery flavor. Popping your popcorn in Flavocol seasoned salt is what gives it the buttery flavor. The coconut oil is healthy and gives the popped kernels a nice buttery color, however.

No. The product contains lots of herbs that would be too overpowering on popcorn. rosemary*, onion*, garlic*, thyme*, red bell pepper*, carrot*, tomato*, black pepper*, basil*, Bragg Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil*, parsley*, tarragon*, lemon peel*, orange peel*, Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar*, celery seed*, dill seed*, oregano*, savory*, sage*, ginger*, coriander*, bay leaf*, turmeric*. * organic ingredients

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

We don't use butter or oil inside, we just add the popcorn and about a tablespoon of water. Less unpopped kernels with a little touch of water. We add butter afterwards.

Yes, though more slowly at first (& moderately once popping starts). Another thing we've discovered is to let the oil heat up for a couple of minutes before putting the popcorn in; it definitely pops faster that way.

We have used a number of different brands of popcorn and different types of oil. We never had an issue with the popper with any of them.

We bought the Orville Redenbaugher oil and kernels to use with the machine and we used the recipe provided with the oil and kernels. Also provided with the oil and kernels was an easy method for stove top popping. This turned out to be much more effective, easy, and quick, so we no longer use the popcorn maker. Maybe for an event in the future we may pull it out, but it was quite a bit of work just for some popcorn.

You can use any kind of popcorn; it doesn't have to be the packaged mixes. It comes with a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for the popcorn.

never put any type of oil in popper. Add only after it is done. Not only will you not burn the thing, your popcorn will have as much oil as you add to it.

Absolutely!!!! I use canola oil, as it is healthier. But you can use any kind of oil. I absolutely love my popcorn machine, as I'm sure you will also!!!!

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
