I see a lot of comments on putting this on popcorn, but how does it do in a recipe? I am new to this, so your answers will help!

I only use it on salads, because i like the taste, but you could use it anywhere, like pasta sauce, tuna salad, or use it like cheese, over steamed brocolli.baked potatoe. The jar is huge, like a coffee can, but i just finished mine, and plan to re-order.

We've used the Great Northern Packets and regular popcorn kernels; both work well and taste great! This comes down to a personal preference and people eating it. We switch back and forth between the two different ways. Sometimes we use the packets if we all prefer the same flavor of popcorn. When we want a variety of flavors of popcorn or with and without butter, following the popper's directions we use about a 1/2 ounce of oil and put in 8 ounces of regular popcorn since we have an 8 ounce kettle. Once it's done popping, everyone fills their bags or buckets and eat it plain or put butter on it using a spray butter and adding more flavor by putting on one of the seasoned salts such as white cheddar cheese or just plain popcorn salt. Everyone has now seasoned their popcorn to their liking, it's all good !!!

I have had excellent popcorn with no sticking using both the pre-measured packs and using my own. This is from another questions and answer site: "I use bulk corn and coconut oil. Start with a heaping tablespoon of (solid) oil and 1/3 cup or corn. Don't treat it as rocket science. Adjust to your liking from there." I suspect you are either trying to use some other oil than coconut, or your machine is faulty. Anyone that thinks they can substitute a healthier oil like canola oil and get great results should have their head examined. Coconut oil has been used for ages successfully.

I use 1/4-1/3 cup of white popcorn on high for about 4 minutes. I have a few unpopped kernels. It has never been tough.

Plain coconut oil will pop the same. The coloring just makes it look like movie theater popcorn. It works great and if you get some Flavacol salt and flavoring it makes it real close. Easy on the Flavacol though.

Hi there! I used the Orville Redenbocker oil(think I spelled that right) that has the butter already in it...and measure 2 tbsp and let it warm up for about 30-45 seconds in the popper then add whatever popcorn you want to use. Everyone has a certain popcorn they buy. You will LUV this popcorn maker! My family does. Hope this helped. :-D

I have used it with cooking--makes a great butter flavor, as well as over hot organic popcorn.

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

You only use 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. 1/3 to 2/3 cup of Popcorn Kernels, only 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Enjoy!!!

The instructions recommend using 1 tbl spoon of oil or butter. We use canola oil and the popcorn comes out perfect every time with a minimum of unpopped kernels.

Mix with water. It already contains milk solids. I add it to French toast batter, but mostly I just sprinkle the powder over popcorn.

I just used mine for the first time and got a full bowl of perfectly popped corn in 3 minutes. I used Walmart's GV popcorn with 2 Tbsp of Canola oil.

No need to pre-salt your popcorn. Just add this to your popcorn and it is amazing!

I never used oil instead I used smartbalance and put popcorn salt with that and it's delicious. You may want to put the butter on top just as it starts to pop. This popper doesn't get as hot as stir crazy. However because of that the popcorn isn't as hard. Good luck. Try using smartbalance and see if you like it. Use a lot.

OK,pop the corn in this oil along with flavacol. Add one 1/2 cup of corn,5 tablespoons of red coconut oil and 1 teaspoon of flavacol. After that melt some clarified butter and pour it over the top (pour a little around then flip the popcorn,repeat to get even distribution). You can buy the clarified butter or make it (its the same thing as the stuff they use for lobster). If its not salty enough add a little more flavacol next time. I have people drool at the mouth with this recipe. Same thing as old school movie theater popcorn,if you want the new style then you will need fake butter and a different oil hybrid.

You add the powdered butter and salt after the popcorn has been popped but I also add Orville Redenbacher's Popping & Topping to the popcorn and will not had the powdered butter. Taste just like the popcorn from the theater. All my popcorn kernels pop and never have a problem. I shake everything up and walla wonderful popcorn.
