I use peanut oil on my popcorn and currently use a sprayer called Presto Microwave sprayer, can this Evo Oil spray bottle replace it? Microwavable?

I've never used the Presto but light spraying on my husbands popcorn works fine With the Evo oil sprayer.

This happens to be my most common and favorite use of the sprayer! I use it ALL THE TIME for making popcorn!So, yes, it is perfect for that!I have never tried to put the bottle in the microwave, I just spritz the popcorn as it comes out of the air popper. Yummy!

I would NOT use this for spraying popcorn as the spray is more of a "stream" instead of a "spray". Not sure if it is microwaveable or not.

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.

Hi Laurie, yes it does need oil. We have found out that 2-3 tablespoons of organic olive oil per 1/2 cup of organic popcorn kernels makes a great bowl of popcorn. You need to experiment with how much oil according to your taste. This popper is easy clean, we just toss the cooking plater an bowl into the dishwasher. Great product.

Absolutely!!!! I use canola oil, as it is healthier. But you can use any kind of oil. I absolutely love my popcorn machine, as I'm sure you will also!!!!

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 have only used vegetable oil and it works great ! Have used this popper for many months now every weekend and it's brought a lot of joy to our Family movie nights ! :-)

I have used regular oil and regular popping corn. Just have to season it after it is through popping. Easier to use then other popcorn poppers

I have used two bottles so far and the ball is popping off, thus spilling out a good amount of oil. Has anyone found a different bottle that is better quality. I'm using frankincense neat. Thank you in advance!

This takes oil, use coconut oil it will make your popcorn taste better and won't go bad for a VERY long time. Also I wouldn't recommend this product it is built completely wrong. The piece that you put over the top (bottom) when done will expand and fall off. Also you have to lift the COMPLETE UNIT up to turn it over. DON'T BUY

NO! Just bought the Presto Air popper and Snappy White Popcorn(GMO free) and more kernals flew out of the popper than popped. I came back to Amazon to see if I could find out what works with the Popper as it had really good reviews...Can anyone answer this...looking for (GMO free) popcorn.

I don't see why not, it is like any other popcorn. I did mine in the mircowave with a Presto popper. It did fine. Just nothing special. Hope this helps!

I have this corn popper and love it! This is my second, because I broke the first (my stupidity really) but I hope I am never without it!!! The popcorn is so much better than bagged microwave popcorn, and you know exactly what is in it. I have washed mine in the dishwasher many times and it has not affected the performance in any way. You can pop with or without oil!!!

It cooks popcorn great with only 1 tsp. of oil. I've had my popper and done this for years. Peanut oil is another good oil to try. This is a great popcorn popper that pops corn like the movies do without all the added extra butter and sugar. I love drizzling some orange blossom honey and salt over mine. Salty and sweet!

I use mine both with oil and without and have never had this problem with the insert, which is used many times over. Could it be related to either the power level of your microwave unit or the amount of time programmed for the popcorn?

This is normal. When I went to use the popcorn the oil simply slide out and melted fine. No problems. I had the same question when I first received it during the winter time!

I asked my wife, who has gone to culinary school, this question. She says the oil has too thick of a consistency and will clog up a generic sprayer.

You can use regular popcorn and popcorn oil. The unit comes with the measuring cups needed for the amount of oil and the amount of popcorn. This is a very good unit and I use it almost on a daily basis.
