Probably a silly question ... Can you make batches of popcorn using less than 8 oz of kernels . Can I make an amount good for 2 people per say?

Of course. You will just reduce the recipe as any other. But, after using this popcorn maker, you may end up making the full batch. It is that good! Besides, with the light bulb and the heater under the floor, it is just as good the next day!

I haven't tried that. I really like the Stir Crazy popper! It has made the best popcorn. Then you can add 1/4 cup of Sugar to make Kettle Corn.

It's better to put the flavouring on AFTER popping...because the popping machine will burn it. You only need a couple sprinkles for 1 batch. gr

You can buy these: Great Northern Popcorn, 8-oz. Portion Counts (Count of 24) but most of the time we use regular kernels and vegetable oil, and add our own butter and salt. (1/3 cup oil to one cup corn.) The trick with either one is to heat the oil for about 5 minutes before you put the kernels in. It pops much better this way. Great gift!

I think the 6 oz is probably best, but that's just my opinion. What's really great about this kind of popcorn is that you have the ability to put all or just a little pop corn in the popper, as well as the butter and salt.

Funny you should ask. Just spent the entire day popping corn for the middle school teachers. I used Great Northern 4oz popcorn packs. They work great. Do not get anything bigger than 4oz.

I use 1/4-1/3 cup of white popcorn on high for about 4 minutes. I have a few unpopped kernels. It has never been tough.

Hi Amy this is our second popcorn machine in 6years. Our first was a smaller model. This model is for 8oz packets which pop a Lot of corn fast....perfect for your stated need. If you conduct events of this size often you may want a larger capacity device. For normal personal and infrequent event use this is a good model

The bag I got works really well in a hot air popper. I usually pop a half cup at a time and usually only have 5-10 unpopped kernals.

I don't know in ounces but it pops enough for 3-4 people at a time and yes it can be used repeatedly but be careful not to burn yourself when adding more kernels. Another tip I learned was to add your salt to the oil and kernels.

I ordered those bags two or more years ago, I think they were about 8 or more oz, close to 2 cups. We don't have them anymore. We hardly used the popcorn machine.

I've never burned a batch. It pops so quickly, there's really no reason to leave it unattended. The popcorn is simply delicious !!!

You can use any kind of popcorn; it doesn't have to be the packaged mixes. It comes with a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for the popcorn.

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'm sure more than 10 cups. I'm not for sure but I'm estimating. Usually one 6 oz bag - I can feed 4 people with popcorn containers & have some left in the popper.

Guess it depends on the size of the individual packs. Not a product that would meet my popcorn-consumption style, so I've given it no thought!

4 oz. Says right on machine "do not exceed more than 1/2 cup popcorn per batch"
