You can use whatever. We buy the packages that contain both, on one side butter favor oil and popcorn on the other

Coconut oil is the best replacement for your current oils. Its has a high flash point and gives great flavor to food. I've also heard grapeseed and palm oils are good but I prefer coconut. Also make sure when purchasing coconut oil extra virgin cold pressed so you get as much nutrients as possible. The current oils you are using are stripped of their smell for longer shelf life so its rancid before it gets to you and you wont even know it

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

I just read the Pam Spray ingredients list ... canola oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil are the first three ingredients. I use peanut oil in mine since it has a high smoke temperature. It works great and I don't notice a flavor like peanuts since I use so little. If nut allergies are an issue, I think olive oil would be good (not extra virgin).

According to many commentators yes you can. Like frying eggs, etc. There are so many uses. Amazing stuff. Recommend do a search for coconut oil uses and you will come up with many recommendations.

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.

the instruction manual states to use vegetable oil- no more than 3Tbl spoons. I use coconut oil 1Tbl spoon and 2/3 cup popcorn. Popcorn always tastes good-no burnt popcorn :)

I use 2.5 bottles of canola oil. Each bottle is 48 oz. So it takes about a gallon of oil.

The organic, unrefined, coconut oil is fine for cooking, but if you are going to use it for scrambled eggs and other things you cook in a frying pan, it is important not to let it get overly hot. It should not get to the point it is smoking. It has a very low melting temperature, so it does not take much to get it ready to add the food you want to cook. I use it all the time for cooking eggs.

Sorry I don't know. I was not impressed with the product so I don't use it. I think u would be better off with coconut oil.

How does the consistency of this oil compare to coconut oil? I find that coconut oil is wonderful for most uses (including my skin) but that it's a little too oily for my hair. I'm looking for a nice face oil and would probably use this on my hair if it's not too heavy.

I use Spectrum Organic Coconut oil, but there are many brands to choose from. I usually "eyeball" my oil mixtures, but try about 4 tbl. spoons of c. oil + 3-4 drops of essential oil. These oils come with a wonderful booklet with tons of information! Also, this company sells carrier oils as well- lots to choose from with lots of info!

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!!!!

We use a small (about 1/2 tsp) of coconut oil for almost everything I cook on low-med heat. I do add some when I cook larger quantities of mushrooms and veggies that will absorb it. All cook better!

You cook with it as you would any oil. The only difference is that, it's in a solo state until it has liquified. I have replaced this and Olive oil for Vegetable oil. You can even use coconut oil as a substitute for butter.

It says to fill up to this line....and that's what I do...sometimes I have to add oil, and sometimes not... but I keep it full to the line...(I use coconut oil and It's wonderful!)...great taste!
