Does this popcorn maker have the option to melt butter on the popcorn?

you melt the butter in a little tray that sits on top of the clear plastic cover, then pour it over the popcorn.

No I find melting my butter on the side works better. Other than that you can't beat a stir crazy.

Yes. It does not automatically dump the popcorn. You have to stand by and dump yourself when the popping slows (like when you microwave it). With that said it only takes a fews minutes to pop when hot, and I have not burned it yet!

I LOVE IT! I don't put butter on top of it, I have it melted in the bowl that I dump the popcorn into. Remember, just like any microwave popcorn, make sure you stop it when the corn stops popping. There will always be some unpopped kernels. Oh, I do have to tip it slightly to get it in the oven on top of the turntable. Then I obviously have to tip it when I take it out too. That's the ONLY bad thing. It is tall.

Yes. I freeze butter all the time and my homemade stuff is no different. Works great.

Yes! Popcorn made with this is just like movie theater popcorn. It is marvelous. My recent purchase was the second one. We never add butter.

Yes, butter is optional. Make sure you measure the inside of your microwave though...mine is tight I have to remove the lazy susan to use this.

Yes, that is what I have. I start out at the highest temp but as soon as it starts popping, I turn it down to med-high and turn the crank constantly but slowly. I use coconut oil but I do not salt or butter the corn. You have to experiment with your own unit. I am sure not all cook tops cook exactly the same. I have not burned the popcorn yet nor have I scratched my glass cook top...and I love this popper. I even purchased it as a gift for someone else.

Yes. I put the butter in first (with a little vegetable oil) then the popcorn and a little salt and it all pops together.

Yes. There's a small plastic cup that sits in the very top of the popper. As the popper works, the cup gets hot and any pad of butter placed in the cup would melt to liquid. The idea is that you would then pour out the melted butter into the bowl of freshly popped popcorn. You could certainly add seasoning of any kind and mix before pouring. The cup is shallow and will not hold a quarter stick of butter, but maybe an eighth. I certainly would not want more than that for single round of popping.

Yes it does. It has both a lamp over top, and an element underneath the popcorn tray to keep the popcorn warm. It works very well, but the popcorn is rarely in the machine long enough to need warming at our place.

Funny you asked about the popcorn. We made a large batch of popcorn and used the butter powder on it. It was excellent! No oily fingers and is now a family favorite. I haven't tried it in cooking yet. Was planning on using it when baking bread for a buttery background. I don't think that you could use it as a film in a pan to keep the eggs from sticking, but if you're looking for a nice buttery flavor to mix in scrambled eggs... it would work.

No Teflon that I can see but I would think twice when buying this product, makes a limited amount of popcorn and when it is in the middle of popping the popcorn in the bowl shoots out everywhere and many up popped kernels at the bottom of the bowl. Think twice.

No,We buy our popcorn at Sam's club. !/4 cup of oil and 3 tablespoons of butter in with the oil and popcorn and let it pop.

It is. However, popcorn is something we are still having an issue with. Using the preset results in a bagof burned corn almost every time.

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 ??

Yes, the components come apart easily to clean. I use this for olive and canola oil only. Would I trust it to melted butter? I would be worried how quickly it would congeal, but for the low cost, this unit is the best possible choice IMO. Worth a try.
