I use a microwave popper & can anyone tell me what oil they use with this popcorn? I use grapeseed, sunflower & peanut.

Personally, I don't use oil at all, with a Nordic Ware 60120 Microwaver Popcorn Popper 12 Cup from here at Amazon. However, the best tasting oil for popcorn has always been peanut oil.

I use olive oil when I make it on the stove or in an electric popper. Don't use a microwave popper though.

I have no idea as I don't use a microwave to pop my popcorn. I use the old fashion cranky kind with 1/2 butter & 1/2 light olive oil.

I think you could probably use any popcorn and oil combo. It's not a complicated machine and works just fine with the local popcorn/vegetable oil combo I've tried.

You are better off going to the store and buying a jar of Orville Redenbacher and regular oil. Otherwise the package is cut into 3rd or 4ths depending on how much you want to pop. When we tried to pop 1/3 alot of the kernels did not pop but 1/4 of the package worked fine but was very very messy so we managed through the popcorn and went and bought popcorn and measuring spoons/cup at the store and that worked best

No it is not recommended that you use regular cooking oil. Oils heat up and cook differently so it's important to use popcorn oil. I've found it at my food store near all the other popcorn selections...

I find this a great machine for popping corn with very little kernals left or none at all, I use corn oil as an oil, The Butter I will soften it up a bit in the microwave and only apply it to the top of the popper only after the corn starts popping, I find that if the butter is installed to early before the karnals start popping the butter tends to give off smoke and it gives the pop corn a burnt taste the machine is a good investment

The oil we used is grape seed oil and it is so much better that veg.oil and we use sea salt instead of table salt. Sooo Good!!Hope this helps!

It can use any type of popping oil you can buy at a grocery store. Its usually in the same aisle as the popcorn seed. These oils are typically butter flavored in some way. You can also use vegetable oil, but you will get no butter flavor from that. If you arent happy with the color/flavor of your popcorn, use more oil. I have used as much as 6 spoonfulls of oil for one batch. If you use extra oil it will take longer to pop and need more time to dry once popped. If you eat it right after popping it will seem stale or slighly soggy. Let it sit under the heat lamp for a couple minutes before eating.

I like Peanut oil it is the best, but any cooking oil will work. We also use popcorn butter seasoning salt.

I put it in the oil with the popcorn. It melts down and then is deposited on the popcorn as it pops. I don't think this would work well in an air popper. Probably would cause a major mess and ruin the popper.

I read some reviews on your popcorn popper.... one person said they use coconut oil and it made the lid hard to clean and eventually warped it, so I would not put this in your popcorn popper. also, it makes a lot of popcorn and would probably be too much for you popper. this popcorn is great.... you could try a pot on the stove, but still it is a lot of popcorn. Maybe try to find a 2 oz packet premixed. I always recommend when using this to pour out some salt so it wont come out too salty. Great thing is the coconut oil is healthy! for your popper I read that someone uses very little olive oil and then adds salt and black pepper.... that sounded good. Good luck!

Yes I have used it with out oil or butter, and it seems to work ok. I prefer to use some butter it seems to start popping sooner and more corn seems to pop for me.

Susan - Instructions say can use butter in bottom well or oil. I use 2 tsps Orville Redenbacher's Buttery Flavor Popcorn Oil in the well & then add 1/4 cup popcorn. After popped, I use a small coffee cup to melt my butter & put on popcorn with sea salt. Handy little gizmo & makes just the right amount. You'll figure out what works best for you. Blessings, Donna W.

Had initially said I do not know, but on second thought most if not all popcorn is microwave usable with a popper. It is great popcorn by the way.

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.

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.

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.
