For 2 quarts of popped corn = 1 tablespoon of oil and 1/3 cup of corn; for 4 quarts of popped corn = 2 tablespoons of oil and 2/3 cups of corn; for 6 quarts of cor = 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 cups of corn.

yes, but i rarely measure , i just add enough oil to lightly coat kernels and pop !

That would work, I don't measure anymore, I put less oil if I'm dieting and more when I want it more flavorful.

I just can't imagine. Are you using a popcorn machine like they have at the movies? We've used the 2.5 oz. pkg. for our little machine and the 4 oz. ones for the floor model machine, and if you put in all the oil in the package and all the salted popcorn, it's just delicious. Sometimes I don't use their oil and use just a little canola oil and strain the popcorn mixture to remove most of the salt to make it healthier and it's still very good.

Put in 2 tablespoon oil, one cup popcorn and one teaspoon flavacol in popper. Add more flavacol after popping if needed.

Put the oil in and turn the switch on for 4 minutes. make sure it is plugged in. after 4 minutes cut it off put the pop corn in and turn it back on it should start popping within 2-3 minute of putting the popcorn in.

You can pop popcorn without grease in an air popper but it tastes like left-over cardboard. In the Waring I use a combination of 1-2 tablespoons of butter and approximately 1/3 cup (I never measure it) of canola oil per 1 cup of corn. Tastes great!

I have used mine about a dozen times. I use 1/3 cup of organic popcorn from an Amish farm in PA. and a little butter or coconut oil. I have never been able to get more than 1/3 to 1/2 of the kernels to pop. I use my microwave 1100 at 3 min I stop because the popping has dramatically slowed. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

I have used regular popping corn and regular oil. Do need to season to taste afterwards. The ready made packets are convenient but for me a bit too salty

The instructions that come with the popper say you can reduce the oil to one teaspoon per batch (per 1/2 cup of unpopped corn). I have never done it without oil so I can't attest to this. I use organic coconut oil which has a very high smoke point, adds wonderful flavor to the popcorn and is a healthy fat. It is used by the body for energy very much like a carbohydrate is without raising blood sugar like carbs do. You may want to consider that option.

I use about 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/3 cup of kernels. I set the microwave for 5 minutes and usually when I have about 2 minutes 30 seconds left the popping has slowed down to 1 - 2 seconds between pops and I stop it then. You will never get a 100% pop rate in any popping method. Not unless you want to burn your popcorn. The one time I had hard chewy popcorn was when I used some rather old kernels that were not properly stored.

If you are looking for something to sprinkle on popcorn, you might want to consider 1/4 tsp turmeric and 1/4 tsp cayenne with 1/2 cup popcorn kernels cooked in oil. It is sprinkled in with the kernels before they begin to pop. A co-work from India suggested it, and my family loves it and its healthy too.

im trying to find out the same thing. lol. feel kinda dumb i dont know how to make popcorn with this

there is a measuring cup ( you can see in in the photo on the very top) it also doubles as a butter melting container, ( however my butter was not fully melted when my popcorn was done) I would say its about a third to a half of a cup of popcorn, more then that amount is not reccamended. KEEP THE BOX because there are no other instructions other then the photographs on the box.

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 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.

Lee, I use it to pop the corn and it does just fine, at least for me. It doesn't take much. I use about a tsp. full (not heaping, just rounded off) and it makes a pan full. Hope this helps.

By using the recommended amount of oil the corn absorbs most of it and is not dry. Adding butter gives it more of a buttery flavor. I like to mix the butter and the oil together and not adding butter after its popped.

I honestly would"t know. All we use is 1/3 cup of regular popcorn no oil and it works great. I would maybe ask the manufacturer.
