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 use 3 tablespoons to 1/2 cup popcorn in the whirly popper, you can get away with less, I prefer the taste of 3 with the flavacol popcorn seasoning/salt. I put 1 teaspoon salt in with the oil as it is heating up for about 30 seconds than add the popcorn.

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

1 to 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup of popping corn. Use one to one of each, so if you use 1 tablespoon oil, put in 1/4 cup corn. No more than 3/4 cup corn.

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.

We have used just the regular popcorn and oil. We just follow the directions on the glass of the maker and it turns out perfect every time.

Trying to add real butter during the cooking process would interfere with the cooking time. What I've learned from trial & error is to split the oil (I use peanut) 1 tbl & melted real salted butter 1 tbl added to PowerCup & not after cooking. I imagine you could add 2 tbl melted butter & no oil as well. I add sea salt to the kernels before cooking (I'm not a big salt user) to keep the amount of sodium low but still gives a salty flavor. If you use just salted butter you may find you don't need to add any additional salt. I like my combo because the popcorn is not as greasy. I've also tried almond oil & would consider trying other oils but they are expensive. I hope this helps you out?

I've used Orville Redenbacher's butter flavoured oil, and some shake-on stuff that I bought at WalMart, and it's fine. I haven't experimented much as I prefer just to pop the corn and add butter and salt after it's popped.

You have a 4oz popcorn machine. To solve this problem I suggest order Great Northern Pop Corn Company 4 oz pre measured pop corn packets. It contains pre-measured amounts 0f popcorn,coconut oil, and butter flavored salt......Its not expensive and you can order it through Amazon. 4 oz packets are designed for your popper. You will always have a very small amount of un- popped kernels......Even theaters do.

I have this corn popper and love it! This is my second, because I broke the first (my stupidity really) but I hope I am never without it!!! The popcorn is so much better than bagged microwave popcorn, and you know exactly what is in it. I have washed mine in the dishwasher many times and it has not affected the performance in any way. You can pop with or without oil!!!

I actually just bought the machine and sent it to family in El Salvador. My cousins who use it use any kind of whole kernels with vegetable oil.

1 tbs of oil (canola,coconut,sunflower...) with 1/3 of cup of popcorn. Season it as you want with butter salt or Flavacol if you wish. You can also buy the little packets already portioned.

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.

You can use any corn oil. I always purchase my popper supplies in bulk from Sam's Club.

I have great success adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of oil (canola, or olive) to about 3 - 4 oz of corn in a small bowl, mixing to coat the corn, then spreading it out in the popper. Usually every kernal pops.

The recommended amount of oil by the manufacturer provides excellent popcorn.
