You should be able to use the popcorn popping oil on the stove - I don't know why you wouldn't be able to.

Yes. you can..but only use cocunut oil inthe machine ,the other popcorn oils will not work ,will gum it up.

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.

It can use any type of popping oil you can buy at a grocery store. Its usually in the same aisle as the popcorn seed. These oils are typically butter flavored in some way. You can also use vegetable oil, but you will get no butter flavor from that. If you arent happy with the color/flavor of your popcorn, use more oil. I have used as much as 6 spoonfulls of oil for one batch. If you use extra oil it will take longer to pop and need more time to dry once popped. If you eat it right after popping it will seem stale or slighly soggy. Let it sit under the heat lamp for a couple minutes before eating.

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 have not tried to use it in this manner. Nordic makes a microwave popcorn popper that I have used and like.

Yes, you can use it on any stove. The kernels will pop first slowly and then more frequently as the pot heats up. For electric stoves, that should be a little slower than with gas. The key is to keep turning the handle to prevent the popcorn from burning. In all my years of ownership, I have burned popcorn just twice. Both times when I left the room. It's virtually foolproof at popping perfect corn every time. I hope this helps!

Coconut Oil works best. Cleans easier. Tastes better. I wouldn't use vegetable or canola oil. they get so gummy....and are not as heat tolerant as the coconut oil. I don't use any popcorn oil product. Only Coconut Oil, and real butter after it is done popping.

The back of the packet states it can be used in an air popper by adding the popcorn only. You would not be using the coconut oil.

I've never made kettle corn in the popper but I imagine you could. I looked on Allrecipes.com & they've got a recipe that has oil, popcorn & brown or white sugar. The nice thing about this popper is that no shaking required & you can even use on glass top stove. I've also used it in my camper. Also, this is US made. It doesn't have a nonstick coating but washes up fairly well. I didn't want the toxins that are found in non-stick poppers. Now I'll be trying the kettle corn recipe! Happy popping! :)

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.

I'm using popcorn that comes in quart jar. Easy to use, just measure into the little cup they provided and it's enough for us two old folks. I'm wondering if I can use butter in place of the liquid oil ??

To be honest it all dependa on how you like your popcorn. I use two or three tablespoons of butter oil and about 1/4 cup of popocorn. Best thing to do is try different ammounts of each until you find your sweet spot on making popcorn

I don't see why not. Heavy-duty stainless should work great for you. I love this popper. Use 4 oz. of popcorn max.

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.

Iam not sure, because it might go inside the machine. But after I make some popcorn I add my own butter. But it would be cool if we could add butter inside the popper.

no no no. this is an "extract" for baking.... and flavoring. it has water in it that will be incompatible with the oils used for popping the corn.
