Is there a way to make fair-type kettle corn with this popper?

I have never tried, but my thought would be yes and no. I am sure that you could do it. However, I don't know how well it would clean up or if it would cause other "gunky" issues. Plus if you use a full 1/2 cup of kernels, the popper fills up completely. So I don't think it would be a good idea. But it wouldn't hurt to try it once.

Yes, it makes GREAT Kettle Corn! See my review on this product for my recipe! Edog1955: "Great For Making Kettle Corn" It takes a little more time to clean out the popper, but worth it. I have made batches of kettle corn back-to-back without washing and it was OK.

I do not care for this popper the pop corn is tough and will burn. I have quit using it and instead use the microwave -- use a pyrex bowl with a microwave proof plate on top and cook for 2.5 minutes popcorn much better and no oil.

Yes, I do not see why you couldn't. I have a stand alone retro popper with a kettle and I use this in my unit with no problems. Hope this helps.

You can, but it will have popcorn residue from the bottom of the kettle. Why not just use popcorn kits that come with everything you need in one package? They can be purchased at Smart & Final, if this store is in your area; popcorn bags too.

Absolutely! Put 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons in a paper bag o an Air Popper and set microwave to "high" for 3 minutes. The time may need adjusting, depending on your microwave power. I do not use oil, butter or anything else during the popping. After popping, I sometimes spray the non-calorie butter on the popped corn. Delicious. Eat it most days.

If you have an 8 oz KETTLE, use 1/3 c oil (put it in first to warm up), then place 1c popcorn and slightly less than 1T popcorn salt in kettle. You will probably need to play with the amount of salt to taste.

I just use regular yellow or white corn. I find it works best if you use the butter container to measure the corn ( it will make a big batch). Also, if you use a smaller kernel or less corn it helps to tilt the popper back so the kernels don't fly out the chute.

I would hope so! Did you wash and dry it well after each use? I know you can just move the pan back and forth over the burner and that will keep the corn popping and keep it from burning. That's what we did in "the old days". We put oil and corn in a heavy large pan that had a long handle and put the lid on it and put it on the burner and moved it back and forth quickly and it worked great. I just need to find a large heavy old pot like my grandmother had if my Great Northtern Popcorn Popper Poops out.

I tired it in a regular kettle and shook it a little but it wasn't enough to stir the oil and salt so the popcorn, although popped, was very bland. However, if you had a hand popcorn kettle with a turning lever on the bottom of the kettle and could stir it by hand it should turn out fine.

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.

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

Yes. You can dump the entire package into a pan and use it on the stove. The directions are on the back of each package. Just be sure your pot is big enough. I have the 2.5 oz kettle popcorn packs and they recommend a 6 quart pot. They also have directions for electric poppers and air poppers.

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 have not popped pop corn with this, however based on my use I do not see any reason why its not capable of doing this.

I do not have an recipe for kettle corn. I have bought and used Ma's Kettke Corn popcorn seasoning from www.GreatNorthernPopcorn.com and it does a fair job on kettle corn taste when I used it. I may not have put enough on the corn to make it taste like real kettle corn. You can try it and experiment for you taste. Bob
