My guy likes his popcorn buttered. Does this popper automatically butter the popcorn or how do you do yours? Thanks everyone!

My husband is the one that prepares it. He does add butter to prepare it and then after its done he adds powder butter (he doesn't like it soggy), powder cheddar and chipotle for more flavor! He loves his popcorn machine :)

Well to be honest, I haven't tried the real butter. I have been using the popcorn/oil/salt combo package that I bought off Amazon which is delicious by the way!

Popping is a dry process. You can melt butter in the cup in the lid. You add the butter only in the bowl after the popcorn is transferred there when it is finished.

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.

It should feel like hard butter which you can dent by squeezing. After you exude it from the package into the heat of the popcorn maker it will melt, and within 15 seconds it will be all liquid and you can pour in the popcorn kernels and seasoning.

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 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.

You take your butter, hopefully real salted or un salted butter, and press it into the dome part of the keeper. Then you put some water, not a lot, just enough to form a seal and put it in the cylinder of the keeper, then turn the dome back into the cylindrical part. It's the best. Sometimes I have not pressed enough and when I open the keeper the butter is floating in the jar. I just scoop it up, press it tighter and keep on going. Naturally, if you live in an area that is normally very warm, I'm not sure how it will react. I live in Maryland. Hope it works for you. We love ours.

Iam not sure, because it might go inside the machine. But after I make some popcorn I add my own butter. But it would be cool if we could add butter inside the popper.

I have not tried to pop popcorn, but mine has the popcorn option on it. But I'm going to try it to see if it works. Sorry, I don't have to answer you wanted.

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 I have used it with out oil or butter, and it seems to work ok. I prefer to use some butter it seems to start popping sooner and more corn seems to pop for me.

If you use the oils they recommend, the popcorn is not dry at all. You can put butter directly in with the kernels also, but you need to watch it more closely because butter has a tendency to burn.

you could sprinkle it on afterwords and then close the cover and give it a good shake. BUt how it works with the oil poppers, is it mixes with the coconut oil and spreads it on each kernel. Probably take some testing with the electric popper

Hi Laurie, yes it does need oil. We have found out that 2-3 tablespoons of organic olive oil per 1/2 cup of organic popcorn kernels makes a great bowl of popcorn. You need to experiment with how much oil according to your taste. This popper is easy clean, we just toss the cooking plater an bowl into the dishwasher. Great product.

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.

I bought my popcorn packs from bed bath and beyond. .. They have the packs with the salt and butter already mixed with the popcorn. That way I don't have to measure. Or you can buy any brand of popcorn you want (used with popcorn oil sold in the grocery store) and use the scoops that came with the popper to measure your popcorn.
