Can this be used to pop kernels as well as a topping?

This is not a topping. It is an oil similar to what the movie theater uses to pop the corn in. You use a couple of tablespoons instead if your regular oil.It will take a couple of times for you to figure out how much to use so it suits your taste.

Yes, that is what I purchased it for - not as a topping, but for popping! It works well in my stove top popper and my theater style popper and it smells good doing so! Have never used it as a topping. If you use salt after popping, use Flavacol - best popcorn salt out there IMHO.

Lee, I use it to pop the corn and it does just fine, at least for me. It doesn't take much. I use about a tsp. full (not heaping, just rounded off) and it makes a pan full. Hope this helps.

I have no idea! We purchased it as a gift, to use as described-to pop, popcorn!

IT WORKS FINE AS BOTH A TOPPING AND POPPING OIL. Still not what the theaters use but close.

In an emergency (popcorn emergency), I once used shortening and it popped the popcorn just fine. Bacon grease would probably be similar (but have a better flavor).

I don't see why not. Heavy-duty stainless should work great for you. I love this popper. Use 4 oz. of popcorn max.

YES! for sure you can. I have a Back To Basic popcorn popper. just like the Whirley and it works great.

Yes. You put a pat of butter on the top. As it pops the butter melts into the kernels

I don't see a problem with that. I used 12oz packs in an 8oz machine. You will just have a number of unpopped kernels left when popping is done.

I haven't tried pop corn, but I've used it for cereal that's approximately the same size without problem. I've also used it for larger items, again without problem

I have not tried that. I'm assuming you meanblike a regular pop can. I'm not sure how well it would work or how clean it would be considering that most of the pop cans I know of have that deep valley that runs around the inner rim of the can. I'll give it a shot though.:)

Yes, it can. There is a screw on the bottom that tightens for finer. Since I use mine for salt, I tighten it very fine for popcorn salt.

I found that if you check the crust after 10 minutes you can pop any bubbles with a fork. Then if you flip the crust before topping, you will have a smooth side to add all your sauce and toppings.

I have not tried to use it in this manner. Nordic makes a microwave popcorn popper that I have used and like.

Absolutely you can, no problem. If you read the instruction book for the Stir Crazy, they even mention it in one of the recipes for Bacon and Blue Cheese popcorn.

I don't have an air popper machine. We always do it on the stovetop :-)I don't see why you wouldn't be able to pop it that way, though.

You turn it off when all kernels are thru popping. It makes enough to serve 2 or 3 .
