can you our the butter into the machine before the popcorn starts to pop out?

No. It would make an awful mess and you'd have a very hard time cleaning it.

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.

No, absolutely not. The machine pops the popcorn by blowing super-hot air up through the kernels, and pouring anything in other than dry popcorn will ruin the machine. Melt your butter while the popcorn is heating up, and pour it on the popcorn once you get it in the bowl. Hope that helps!

I don't know. I melt a little butter in the micro wave and pour it over the popcorn that I have salted to taste. I think it might get down in the bottom and could damage the heating element.

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!

Yes you can. I use a whirley popper also and it works great. Best popcorn, just like the theatre. I also use flavacol seasoning.

Yes. For popcorn, use largest openings. The trigger setting should be fully open. The air pressure should be 20-25 psi.

Absolutely, I don't know how large your popper is so I can't recommend an exact amount, but I put a little bit inside of my popper with the oil and kernels, and then also sprinkle a little on after the corn is popped. Comes out perfect and taste like movie theater popcorn.

You add it to the bowl of popcorn that the popper is blowing kernels of corn into. Please do not add on top of machine, it will not work well, not even regular butter.

Yes. you can..but only use cocunut oil inthe machine ,the other popcorn oils will not work ,will gum it up.

In the instruction manual it says to run the popcorn machine for a minute or two before adding your kernels. It's like an oven per se, it needs to preheat first before adding the kernels. That's what I do and it pops just about all of my popcorn (amount of kernels left un-popped is about the same amount you get in a microwave popcorn bag brand). Hope this helps. I love my popcorn maker!

I put a large wooden spoon underneath the front of the popper, leaning it slightly backwards. Anything to prop the front up would work. The wooden spoon just seems to be the right height needed to still allow the popped popcorn to build up and flow out. I remove the spoon once the popped popcorn starts to flow. At the end there's a few unpopped kernels that fly if I don't turn off the machine, hold the bowl up blocking the opening or putting the spoon underneath the backside. I prefer to just turn it off.

Yes, you mix it in with the oil and popcorn while its heating up. As far as quantity, a little bit goes a long way. You use a teaspoon for every 6-8 oz of kernels.

I'm using popcorn that comes in quart jar. Easy to use, just measure into the little cup they provided and it's enough for us two old folks. I'm wondering if I can use butter in place of the liquid oil ??

Yeah you put the butter on top of the lid and it drips on the popcorn inside.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

You can. You need to add the sugar just before or after the first few kernels pop.
