I lost my instructions how much oil and how much popcorn does this use?

Hi there. Use 2 tablespoons of oil for every 4 oz. measuring cup of popcorn. I always buy the 3 in 1 packs of popcorn, oil, and seasoning for mine. It's so much easier. ���

I use 1 to 3 table spoons of oil per 1/2 cup of popcorn. I use a Whirley Pop stovetop popper and that was their recommendation. I also use 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Flavocal salt.

You can use regular popcorn and popcorn oil. The unit comes with the measuring cups needed for the amount of oil and the amount of popcorn. This is a very good unit and I use it almost on a daily basis.

Use coconut oil. It's NOT better. Some people feel popcorn tastes better yellow (what??). Really, this stuff is awful. I have a full container- don't know what to do with it. Surely won't use it. Personally, I use good ol' peanut oil now.

I never used oil instead I used smartbalance and put popcorn salt with that and it's delicious. You may want to put the butter on top just as it starts to pop. This popper doesn't get as hot as stir crazy. However because of that the popcorn isn't as hard. Good luck. Try using smartbalance and see if you like it. Use a lot.

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.

I did not use oil as only wanted to make popcorn without any oil! But I am sure it is probably even better with oil!

This takes oil, use coconut oil it will make your popcorn taste better and won't go bad for a VERY long time. Also I wouldn't recommend this product it is built completely wrong. The piece that you put over the top (bottom) when done will expand and fall off. Also you have to lift the COMPLETE UNIT up to turn it over. DON'T BUY

I have an older model that I've had for over 10 years. I put about a Tablespoon of oil in, then cook that for 1 minute. Then I add the popcorn-- enough to loosely cover the bottom of the container. (I also add about a tsp of butter with the kernels). Cook for 2.5 minutes. Preheating the oil does the trick for getting the perfect popcorn!

If you measure it by say a ceral bowl full. About 4, which isn't much. I read that you can use the 6oz packages in this 4 oz popper. I'll be ordering those next time. I recommend buying the packages of popcorn on here that have the oil, salted butter and popcorn all in one. It's just like movie theater popcorn. My kids love 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!!!!

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.

OK,pop the corn in this oil along with flavacol. Add one 1/2 cup of corn,5 tablespoons of red coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of flavacol. After that melt some clarified butter and pour it over the top (pour a little around then flip the popcorn,repeat to get even distribution). You can buy the clarified butter or make it (its the same thing as the stuff they use for lobster). If its not salty enough add a little more flavacol next time. I have people drool at the mouth with this recipe. Same thing as old school movie theater popcorn,if you want the new style then you will need fake butter and a different oil hybrid.

1 tbs of oil (canola,coconut,sunflower...) with 1/3 of cup of popcorn. Season it as you want with butter salt or Flavacol if you wish. You can also buy the little packets already portioned.

We use vegetable oil and lightly salt only.. You could add melted butter or margarine if you wish after popping. Works great and popcorn tastes great.
