What is the oil / popcorn ratio?
1294643
I use 1 to 3 table spoons of oil per 1/2 cup of popcorn. I use a Whirley Pop stovetop popper and that was their recommendation. I also use 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon Flavocal salt.

I use 2 tablespoons oil to 1/3 cup popcorn or 3 tablespoons oil to 1/2 cup popcorn

It's not real critical..... But we like about 2 tablespoons oil to a quarter cup of kernels. And about a quarter teaspoon of flavacol. That's what we're doing pretty consistently now that we have fiddling with it for about six months.

I use 3 tablespoons to 1/2 cup popcorn in the whirly popper, you can get away with less, I prefer the taste of 3 with the flavacol popcorn seasoning/salt. I put 1 teaspoon salt in with the oil as it is heating up for about 30 seconds than add the popcorn.

One cup of popcorn to one-half cup of oil. Add a level teaspoon(or a pinch less) of Flavoral salt with the oil before heating and then pop the corn. Comes out just like the machine at the movie theater.

Yes, you mix it in with the oil and popcorn while its heating up. As far as quantity, a little bit goes a long way. You use a teaspoon for every 6-8 oz of kernels.

If you measure it by say a ceral bowl full. About 4, which isn't much. I read that you can use the 6oz packages in this 4 oz popper. I'll be ordering those next time. I recommend buying the packages of popcorn on here that have the oil, salted butter and popcorn all in one. It's just like movie theater popcorn. My kids love it.

We use vegetable oil and lightly salt only.. You could add melted butter or margarine if you wish after popping. Works great and popcorn tastes great.

If I were to guess I'd say anywhere from 4 to 8 cups of popcorn. Sorry I could'nt be more Precise But honestly I eat it by the handfull.

This is your basic paper bag.... Oil and grease will go through if you have excessive oil and grease... However its perfect for just your normal popcorn with a slight butter flavor.

The recommended amount of oil by the manufacturer provides excellent popcorn.

I honestly would"t know. All we use is 1/3 cup of regular popcorn no oil and it works great. I would maybe ask the manufacturer.

We have used a number of different brands of popcorn and different types of oil. We never had an issue with the popper with any of them.

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.

I'm sorry to say that I have no idea where you could get the instructions. I can give you advise on how this item works though. Measure out your own desired amounts of oil and popcorn. I have learned anything more than 2/3 of a cup of kernels over fills the unit when popped and burns the bottom popcorns. I find it best to put in the desired amount of oil (we use a full table spoon of veg. oil) first, then a 1/3 of a cup of kernels on one side of the arm and another 1/3 on the other side of the arm. It takes less than 5 minutes to finish. Take popcorn off of burner right away or it will burn. Hope this helps!

somewhere in between. I use this salt almost daily and recommend it very highly. I couldn't eat popcorn without now, I believe you will be happy.

The instructions that come with the popper say you can reduce the oil to one teaspoon per batch (per 1/2 cup of unpopped corn). I have never done it without oil so I can't attest to this. I use organic coconut oil which has a very high smoke point, adds wonderful flavor to the popcorn and is a healthy fat. It is used by the body for energy very much like a carbohydrate is without raising blood sugar like carbs do. You may want to consider that option.

About 1/4 cup kernels and 2tbs coconut oil. I have mostly used prepackaged amounts. But I did find out that you can cut open the microwaveable bags and squeeze that all in there and it comes out great. We use our popcorn machine often, its very nice to have and entertaining for all ages.

I am not sure. I do use this oil with a fun time popcorn machine. Works great and not a lot of oil used.

I use two scoops of oil (using the oil scoop that came with it) and one scoop of WHITE popcorn (using the popcorn scoop that came with it)
