To be honest I play it by ear I use a few table spoons of butter oil since I like extra butter and about 1 quarter cup of popcorn

I bought my popcorn packs from bed bath and beyond. .. They have the packs with the salt and butter already mixed with the popcorn. That way I don't have to measure. Or you can buy any brand of popcorn you want (used with popcorn oil sold in the grocery store) and use the scoops that came with the popper to measure your popcorn.

Plug in to heat up, add oil & popcorn. I didnt keep it though because popcorn wasnt hot when served

Personally, I don't use oil at all, with a Nordic Ware 60120 Microwaver Popcorn Popper 12 Cup from here at Amazon. However, the best tasting oil for popcorn has always been peanut oil.

Movie theater popcorn is fine if you don't have them add the butter/fake butter. The oil used for popping it isn't too bad. It only takes about 2 tablespoons of oil to pop a huge amount of popcorn, you might easily add 3 or 4 times that much butter adding it afterwards from the dispenser machine.

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.

You can use any kind that you want but I would suggest you use coconut oil for your popping oil. It gives the corn a better taste remember a little goes a long way also a little bit of popcorn goes a long way. 1 cup will treat 2 people with no problem.

Funny you should ask. Just spent the entire day popping corn for the middle school teachers. I used Great Northern 4oz popcorn packs. They work great. Do not get anything bigger than 4oz.

I always do the maximum (1/3 cup kernels + some oil) and that fills the bowl for me (about 2quarts). I would think that a smaller volume would work just as well. Just remember that the microwave time maybe different for different volumes so watch (and smell) carefully until you know what time works best for your specific situation (microwave power, popcorn type, oil type, etc). Best of luck!

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 like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

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.

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.

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.

For popcorn I would say less than 3 cups. I use them for cookies and can get a dozen 2 1/2 inch cookies in a bag.
