Can it be used for popcorn

I haven't tried pop corn, but I've used it for cereal that's approximately the same size without problem. I've also used it for larger items, again without problem

I don't think so... This thing is gravity fed, and I don't think popcorn weighs enough for it to function properly. Plus, even if it did, I think the pieces would get crushed and/or broken in process and be kind of a mess.

I believe it is better suited for for dry foods suchas cereal, oatmeal, rice things of that nature. Popcorn may be to delicate because it dispenses through a wheel of sorts at the bottom.

It would depend on how you like your popcorn. Some people like to try different tastes & flavors, whereas I just prefer butter only. The Braggs seasoning tastes very good when sprinkled on foods, such as meats, veggies, stews, etc. I am just not sure how it would blend as well with popcorn since it's not really considered "cooked" food, though popcorn is usually microwaved. If you purchase the seasoning to use in whatever you cook, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

Yes. I make popcorn in it abt 2x weekly. The bottom of the pan distributes heat well. After dumping corn, put water in the pan, and empty. It'll prevent oil residue from building up. Oil gear occasionally. Much better than whirly-pop.

You can use any oil. I use vegetable oil in mine and it works great! Stores do sell popcorn oil as well, it just depends on your preference.

Yes! Popcorn made with this is just like movie theater popcorn. It is marvelous. My recent purchase was the second one. We never add butter.

If you want to put just regular kernels in there i suppose that would work. If you plan on putting a bag of microwavable popcorn into the bowl then absolutely not.

Hi Michelle,I have been using it to cook white rice. It's fast but can be messy at times because of the steam and overflow. I have not tried it with popcorn or steam vegetables but it comes with a steamer. I like it but read other comments too.

It's only to be used in the microwave and no matter how I tried it just did not work all the popcorn never popped so I went back to making popcorn the old-fashioned way in a pot on the stove

I don't know for sure but I don't see why not. We use a popcorn machine...like a miniature theater machine. Sorry for not having a better answer for you.

I got this as a gift for my brother but I would think you could use any kind of popcorn.

I would guess that you can but I bought it because I have the old fashion popcorn machine and it works and taste great

Yes you can. The corn is slightly dryer without but oil is not required. It's also easier to burn the popcorn. I have successfully done it twice; both times I really really wanted popcorn and was hard up for oil. You really only need a small amount of oil. If no oil is going to be your norm, I'd recommend an air popper.

Yes, except for the handle. We used it to shell popcorn and it worked great and was also fun to use. I guess if you had a lot of corn to shell it might not be as much fun as we had with it. My husband thought it would not be hard to attach a drill or motor to it.

I would say absolutely not. You'd have to scrape the popcorn off and apply it to a fairly smooth surface.

Yes. I purchased it mainly to pop popcorn, but we have used it to fry shrimp and fresh fries. We love it.

Yes it can. The trick with the air popper is to plug it in and let it run for a minute or two to heat it up. Then drop the popcorn in and it will pop perfectly.

Gold medal is a salt seasining and as such can be used anywhere, (just remember its a salt too). As to micowave or air popcorn poppers...I would think the seasoning would "blow" out of the air popper and thus defeat the purpose. You can, however, sprinkle it overvthe popcorn after its in your bowl, (this seasoning is a fine powdered product).ps...i use it on all my popcorn...i use a stircrazy popper.
