Can you make caramel popcorn with this one? (i.e. add granulated sugar just before it starts popping)

We do not recommend making the stickier recipes (such as caramel corn) in our poppers.

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.

I would say yes as when using the mic bowl it is an option to put a small amount of oil in as well. I use olive oil but coconut would be fine...the salt shouldn't harm it. However...only use like a 1/4 cup of popcorn at a time, bon appetit!

You can use any kind of popcorn; it doesn't have to be the packaged mixes. It comes with a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for the popcorn.

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.

Not to my knowledge. I often pop Ladyfinger popcorn (I like hulless corn) and it is about half the size of regular corn. I will say that larger kernels pop very large and fluffy but that is as much a function of variety. I have never tried 'rice popcorn' I'll have to give it a look. I don't use salt during the pop as that can make the kernels smaller and more tough. I pour in my corn, mix the oil with the popcorn with a fork to make sure each kernel is coated, then pop for a little under 2 minutes. I get nice, crunchy corn and I toss on the salt as soon as it leaves the microwave. VERY nice. But I have never seen any restriction on kernel size.

i'm sure you can, just use a very small amount. the measurement that we use is 1 tblsp (we have the popcorn machine that's like those in a movie theatre) and there are times when it's too much. since you have a counter top popcorn popper, i'd only use about 1/4 tsp to start out with, then go from there. good luck...

Yes. There's a small plastic cup that sits in the very top of the popper. As the popper works, the cup gets hot and any pad of butter placed in the cup would melt to liquid. The idea is that you would then pour out the melted butter into the bowl of freshly popped popcorn. You could certainly add seasoning of any kind and mix before pouring. The cup is shallow and will not hold a quarter stick of butter, but maybe an eighth. I certainly would not want more than that for single round of popping.

I know it will grind popcorn, because I have done it. If the sweet corn is dried, I suspect it will. I got popcorn, because I could get organic popcorn, which is not GMO. The ground popcorn makes delicious corn bread. If the sweet corn is not dried, I would not try it.

If its the same as ours, the popcorn & oil are packaged together, and you use one set per batch. If not, the basic "recipe" is 2 tbsp. oil and 1/2 cup popcorn. Put salt on AFTER popping, whether or not you add melted butter. For some different great tastes, use flavored oils, or put some herbs in with the oil; try seasoned salt; a little curry powder; black pepper with your salt. Great stuff.

Yes, I used equal parts oil and sugar. I bought flavored popping oil at my local supermarket and just regular sugar. Just about any oil will work besides olive oil ,that will give it a funny flavor.

YES! for sure you can. I have a Back To Basic popcorn popper. just like the Whirley and it works great.

This is GREAT for powdered sugar. In fact it works better for powdered sugar than for popcorn salt.

If you still have the scoop... that came with the popper... we always use 2 scoops of popcorn... to 2 oz. pack of naks popping oil.. with a 1/2 teaspoon of (Gold medal premier flavacal) popcorn salt... if you lost your scoop...its about 1/2 a cup size... Put in the oil first and let melt then add your popcorn scoops with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt... and there you go let it pop your house with a smell that is awsome. frome all the stuff we tried this is the best way and taste. we get the best stuff from a site on the web... we get the best oil..like the oldfation popcorn the movies used to have... it's aswome here is the site for you you can get all your suplies for the best popcorn hands down! (www.ht-express.com.).. we get the big box of popping oil packs 98 2oz. packs a box... already ready to go into your popper.. the salt is there too... and big bags of popping corn too enjoy!!! :)

hi casey yes you can use it. Unfortunately, you need a mixture of 1: 2. which means 1cup corn 1/2 cup mix ( Frosted Caramel). if you use less, it no longer tastes so good. it tastes very good my customers love it greetings michael

You can use your own popcorn. I usually use orville redenbacker-it comes in a jar. Just a little bit of oil and about 1/3 cup of popcorn is perfect.

You can use granulated sugar...look on utube for demo videos & ideas, so helpful!
