will the popcorn be very dry if I di not put butter on and can I put butter on the corn before I pop it.

Robert, the popcorn is delicious. Moist but not soggy while still being crunchy. The vented top is great to add seasonings through when the corn starts popping. Remember to leave the cover cap open and you will have a great time with this popper.

Won't be dry without butter. We have a vegan that eats it dry and is very happy. Don't think you want to use butter as your oil for popping the corn. Someone better versed in this should answer though.

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.

By using the recommended amount of oil the corn absorbs most of it and is not dry. Adding butter gives it more of a buttery flavor. I like to mix the butter and the oil together and not adding butter after its popped.

I don't quite understand the question. Powdered butter would be powdered... so you'd sprinkle it on. Salt also sprinkles, so you'd sprinkle it on after it's been popped. It's an air pop machine, so you'd have to do all of that after you've already popped the popcorn. Be warned, this is an awful machine that should be returned or thrown in the garbage. It shoots out about half of the kernels unpopped.

You add the powdered butter and salt after the popcorn has been popped but I also add Orville Redenbacher's Popping & Topping to the popcorn and will not had the powdered butter. Taste just like the popcorn from the theater. All my popcorn kernels pop and never have a problem. I shake everything up and walla wonderful popcorn.

I have no idea as I don't use a microwave to pop my popcorn. I use the old fashion cranky kind with 1/2 butter & 1/2 light olive oil.

Absolutely, I don't know how large your popper is so I can't recommend an exact amount, but I put a little bit inside of my popper with the oil and kernels, and then also sprinkle a little on after the corn is popped. Comes out perfect and taste like movie theater popcorn.

No. It is a hot air machine. After corn is popped,we put melted butter over it.Afyer taking it out of the 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!

If its the same as ours, the popcorn & oil are packaged together, and you use one set per batch. If not, the basic "recipe" is 2 tbsp. oil and 1/2 cup popcorn. Put salt on AFTER popping, whether or not you add melted butter. For some different great tastes, use flavored oils, or put some herbs in with the oil; try seasoned salt; a little curry powder; black pepper with your salt. Great stuff.

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.

the instruction manual states to use vegetable oil- no more than 3Tbl spoons. I use coconut oil 1Tbl spoon and 2/3 cup popcorn. Popcorn always tastes good-no burnt popcorn :)

It will need butter flavor added, I like to use Flavacol and some real butter melted over the popcorn, and it will be just like Movie's.

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.

I've seen where people said they added butter, but the booklet on mine said don't. The heat is too hot for it and it will burn. Other people don't seem to have a problem though.I'll warn you. This one did not work at all for me and it hasn't for many others. It slowly roasted the kernels till they burned, but it never popped a single kernel. I tried three times and was using corn and oil made by Nostalgia Electrics. Thankfully, I had ordered from Walmart so I was able to return it easily and then ordered a Paramount brand one and it has been fantastic!

No, absolutely not. The machine pops the popcorn by blowing super-hot air up through the kernels, and pouring anything in other than dry popcorn will ruin the machine. Melt your butter while the popcorn is heating up, and pour it on the popcorn once you get it in the bowl. Hope that helps!

we use this machine with yellow coconut oil and a flavouring you can also buy at Amazon. But I have also made popcorn with just canola oil and it pops just fine, added butter and salt to taste. the pre-packaged popcorn we have never used. we use this machine regularly for fund raisers and buy the popcorn in bulk, flavouring from amazon and the coconut oil from amazon. Hope this helps you out.

Yes. Add it to the oil before the corn. Then fake liquid butter after. Yummy.

i have ground pop corn with this machine a number of times with no problems. i don't know the moisture content of pop corn but i believe it's low.
