can u use air popper

It's designed to be melted by the oil, but I have used it on air popped corn (my experiment) on an attempt for a lower calorie version. I spray the popcorn with butter flavored cooking spray (helps the topping stick. I also do this with the cheese flavor) and then apply the glaze as I would for salt. The end product is OK at best, but is nowhere near the kettle version. I have most of the glaze flavors and have made small batches on the stove top great results, when I didn't want to use my machine. Some batches have been superior to the machine.

I put it in the oil with the popcorn. It melts down and then is deposited on the popcorn as it pops. I don't think this would work well in an air popper. Probably would cause a major mess and ruin the popper.

You can pop popcorn without grease in an air popper but it tastes like left-over cardboard. In the Waring I use a combination of 1-2 tablespoons of butter and approximately 1/3 cup (I never measure it) of canola oil per 1 cup of corn. Tastes great!

I don't see why you couldn't. The force of the air blast it can produce depends on how fast you can squeeze it. Canned air would be better but I suppose this would be a more environmentally friendly method.

I could not get it to work. I returned it to Amazon. I use oxygen absorbers instead. Put one , 100 cc absorber in each quart jar and you will hear the pop. I learned this on dehydrate2store.com. I like this method a lot.

I don't think the 8oz would work. The popper is not that big, the 2.5oz is the perfect size.

I believe you can. Air does go out of it. I haven't used it like that but I can't see why you couldn't. As long as the handheld pump has the right adapter. I hope this helps.

YES! The best way I have found is to put a small wire mesh strainer in the airpopper hole over the kernels until they start popping, then remove the strainer to let the corn pop into the bowl. According to the Tiny But Might site, a potholder can also be used to weigh down the kernels until they start popping, just maintain airflow around the potholder or the popper will shut off for a bit to cool down. Tilting the popper back til the corn starts popping also works, as another person answered.

Yes it can.It is actually the best for mushroom popcorn. If you use a hot air popcorn popper, do not add the popcorn until the popper has run fully for at least 1 minute. Then add all of the popcorn quickly. Do not even add the popcorn to the little holder cup that some hot air poppers use as it just dries out the popcorn reducing its "popability". Be sure to always use the amount of popcorn recommended by the popper's manufacturer (usually 1/2 cup) (www.JustPoppin.com has a FAQ page). Storage affects the popcorn too. Always store the mushroom popcorn in an airtight container preferably in a cool dark place but *never* in a refrig or freezer. Hope that helps!!

It does pop well in an air-popper since that is what I have always used for it. It is light and fluffy and all the kernals pop for the most part - so great poppage. It's an excellent popcorn.

This one isn't an air popper but it's an awesome popcorn maker. Have used it a lot and it makes great popcorn every time.

It's probably not a good idea to put salt in the popper. I can't see a reason for doing it while popping though. There is no warning for not doing it from the manufacturer.

This was going to be my question. I don't want the hot air popper taste. And was looking to see if there was an alternative to the Presto one I have been using (which does a great job), where I don't have to purchase replacement disc thingys. :)

If you still have the scoop... that came with the popper... we always use 2 scoops of popcorn... to 2 oz. pack of naks popping oil.. with a 1/2 teaspoon of (Gold medal premier flavacal) popcorn salt... if you lost your scoop...its about 1/2 a cup size... Put in the oil first and let melt then add your popcorn scoops with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt... and there you go let it pop your house with a smell that is awsome. frome all the stuff we tried this is the best way and taste. we get the best stuff from a site on the web... we get the best oil..like the oldfation popcorn the movies used to have... it's aswome here is the site for you you can get all your suplies for the best popcorn hands down! (www.ht-express.com.).. we get the big box of popping oil packs 98 2oz. packs a box... already ready to go into your popper.. the salt is there too... and big bags of popping corn too enjoy!!! :)

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.

I have never tried, but my thought would be yes and no. I am sure that you could do it. However, I don't know how well it would clean up or if it would cause other "gunky" issues. Plus if you use a full 1/2 cup of kernels, the popper fills up completely. So I don't think it would be a good idea. But it wouldn't hurt to try it once.

Yes. I purchased it mainly to pop popcorn, but we have used it to fry shrimp and fresh fries. We love it.
