can you cook a regular size (3.2 oz) bag of popcorn in it?

Yes, but you have to round off the sharp corners (4) of the sealed top and bottom with scissors, making sure you don't cut into the bag itself. Otherwise, those pointy corners will tic the walls and prevent the bag from turning.

No. The popcorn cooks in the little metal part in the bottom. I think if you put butter in it it would burn.

The bag I got works really well in a hot air popper. I usually pop a half cup at a time and usually only have 5-10 unpopped kernals.

I don't see why not, it is like any other popcorn. I did mine in the mircowave with a Presto popper. It did fine. Just nothing special. Hope this helps!

Sorry for the delay....it is quite a bit of popcorn. I am guessing you will want two containers to store it in, that is what we do to make it easier to manage, etc.

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 you can. I use a whirley popper also and it works great. Best popcorn, just like the theatre. I also use flavacol seasoning.

TOO BIG? I don't think so. If any thing lMO just one is way too small for 30 people, maybe two. Maybe ten jars would fit the bill. Not sure but I would think one bag of microwave popcorn could fill just one jar. I actually brought my jar to use as a terrarium, which works well.

Of course. You will just reduce the recipe as any other. But, after using this popcorn maker, you may end up making the full batch. It is that good! Besides, with the light bulb and the heater under the floor, it is just as good the next day!

Yes. For popcorn, use largest openings. The trigger setting should be fully open. The air pressure should be 20-25 psi.

Certainly! I love my popper and I always cook corn for a crowd. Clearly the portion will be appropriate to children so 2 batches should work :)

I always used the Ready-made Popcorn/oil packs. You simple buy them in the size required for the machine, and everything is already pre-measured for you. http://www.amazon.com/Great-Northern-Popcorn-8-Ounce-Portion/dp/B000PDY3HI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1387144747&sr=8-1&keywords=popcorn+oil+packs

You can use regular popcorn and popcorn oil. The unit comes with the measuring cups needed for the amount of oil and the amount of popcorn. This is a very good unit and I use it almost on a daily basis.

yes. i found that the directions say to have your popcorn in the microwave for five minutes. the corn began to burn. i have an amana late model microwave and i think the next time i'll give it less time. the 1/3 cup was overflowing this last time.

Yes. Especially if you are a big eater. If not, pour some in a zip-lock bag and then reuse the Mountain House bag to cook the other portion.
