I want to give sealed (quart) gift bags of buttered, seasoned popcorn to friends. How long will the 100cc packets keep the bags fresh? HELP!

The packets should keep the the popcorn fresh as long as the bag is closed.

They are dried and sealed... I have kept them in the bag sealed for a year without spoiling.... Once opened I keep on the shelf in the pantry - a dark cool place in a dry climate. If you have concerns put them in the fridg...

Unopened bag will store almost indefinitely keep it in a cool place. I put the open bag in a mason jar and have stored it in my refrigerator up to two years without noticeable deterioration. Be sure to proof your yeast as you use it, that is the best way to know your rise will be right. Hope this helps, John

Actually my Great Northern Popcorn maker came with paper bags similar so we now have so many...haven't used them yet.Like another customer said, "they are just a novelty" we prefer a bowl too...find it fun though to give out to kids that visit and a take home bag of popcorn...guessing they hold closer to 3 cups not overflowing...maybe close to 4 stuffed.

I have used mine about a dozen times. I use 1/3 cup of organic popcorn from an Amish farm in PA. and a little butter or coconut oil. I have never been able to get more than 1/3 to 1/2 of the kernels to pop. I use my microwave 1100 at 3 min I stop because the popping has dramatically slowed. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

i have kept mine in the freezer and they stored well. i suppose you could keep them in the fridge if you use them in a few months. there arent any directions with the packets since there are a lot of ways to process cheese. my cheese is like fresh mozerella but a hard cheese that ages is completly different. there are several resources on the net for cheese but choose carefully.

We have popcorn bags that say 1.5 ounces and it fills up 4 or 5 per batch. We make about 5-8 batches in a few hours and have no issues.

I recently received a bag that has a January 2015 "use by" date on it, so I suppose you should figure 9 mos - 1 year depending upon what lot you receive. Once I've opened bags, I kept them in the pantry without any issues that I've noticed, but perhaps others have another perspective. On a side note, I also want to add that this blend makes wonderful cookies in my opinion... tastes like "real" flour with no off taste :)

I'm pretty sure that is just for the pic. I bought the 22lb bag a couple months ago and they are great! I recommend using a vacuum bag sealer and then throwing them in the fridge to keep em good. As a whole, they are great. Every so often I get one that is dried out, but I don't believe hat has anything to do with expiration. When I run out I will buy more

The expiry date on my little packages, that I bought in the early summer, is 'sell by October 2013'. There is no use by date. I am storing them in a cool dark pantry and don't expect any issues for quite a long time. As long as they last until the cross-country running season is over:) Pretzels and nutella after a long fast run, yum!! BTW, I am food-safe certified and don't take foolish chances with food.

I still have 1 bag un-opened and the others in a zip lock baggie. The ones in the zip lock bag still have the freshness, smell and taste since I received them.

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 no longer have my bags, I put all of them into a container that I store in the fridge til the grits are gone. I always check the date when I get them and then empty them into my glass jar and put them in the fridge, so never have a problem with them not staying fresh.

I have always stored popcorn in an air tight glass jar in fridge, that way there is no loss of humidity. I would think, that storing it in the freezer would cause freezer burn. After storing mine in the fridge for up to two years, I've never noticed any deterioration of popping robust of the kernels.

I store mine in freezer. I read in a book about popcorn once that the freezer is the best place (it keeps the kernels from drying out - the more humid the kernels, the better the pop - at least that is the theory). For that same reason, the fridge would not be a good place as it would dry out the kernels. The freezer works great. Popping time does not seem to be longer than room temperature and we get very very few old maids or ones that are not well popped.

To go along with this popcorn maker I bought a popcorn kit that had the popcorn,butter and also seasoning so I really don't remember how big the popcorn bags where. Maybe they still sell the kits and you can see there. I bought them on amazon. Hope you get a answer.

what is the best way to store? in the past a drop of water in a bag in the fridge would keep it moist to pop better, any other suggestions about best storage re: freshness:-)
