can I melt butter in kettle after popping?

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.

I don't know. I melt a little butter in the micro wave and pour it over the popcorn that I have salted to taste. I think it might get down in the bottom and could damage the heating element.

Funny you asked about the popcorn. We made a large batch of popcorn and used the butter powder on it. It was excellent! No oily fingers and is now a family favorite. I haven't tried it in cooking yet. Was planning on using it when baking bread for a buttery background. I don't think that you could use it as a film in a pan to keep the eggs from sticking, but if you're looking for a nice buttery flavor to mix in scrambled eggs... it would work.

We have never added oil or butter or anything else, when using this popper. 1/3 (heaping is OK) cup of popping corn into the bowl of the popper with a condenser in the bottom, and let 'er rip in the microwave until you don't hear any more popping. Dump it into a bowl, then add melted butter and salt, or whatever you like. Be careful not to go too long on the popping time, because it will burn and blacken the kernels.

That's Normal. Just place squeeze it into the popper kettle and it will melt, or just let it sit out for a while. Either way it works.

It does "Just OK" in spreading the butter, but that also makes cleanup much messier. (Therefore, we don't use that feature) We melt the butter in the microwave and then add it when the popping is done. All-in all we LOVE this popper!!!

I boiled some hot water in a kettle then poured it in a cup and dipped the utensil in for 15 seconds. I suppose you could dip it in alcohol also, but the choice is yours. I hope this helps.

A kettle is for boiling water for tea, coffee, etc. It could be used to melt butter, Iguess, but you'd have to really clean it well if you are ever going to use it for tea ever again! A smallish pot, over a low setting, and a wooden spoon are the best way to melt butter.

I've never made kettle corn in the popper but I imagine you could. I looked on Allrecipes.com & they've got a recipe that has oil, popcorn & brown or white sugar. The nice thing about this popper is that no shaking required & you can even use on glass top stove. I've also used it in my camper. Also, this is US made. It doesn't have a nonstick coating but washes up fairly well. I didn't want the toxins that are found in non-stick poppers. Now I'll be trying the kettle corn recipe! Happy popping! :)

I just made kettle corn with my Great Northern popper last week using the following recipe and it turned out fantastic; without the burning that many people complain about. 2 Tablespoons regular olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter, 1/2 cup corn kernels, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/3 cup sugar. Heat the oil, butter, salt and sugar over medium heat till hot then add the corn. When the kernels start to pop start turning the handle and continue until the popping stops. Pour into a large bowl and break up any large clumps. Be careful because the corn will remain very hot because of the sugar. Enjoy!

Popping is a dry process. You can melt butter in the cup in the lid. You add the butter only in the bowl after the popcorn is transferred there when it is finished.

you could sprinkle it on afterwords and then close the cover and give it a good shake. BUt how it works with the oil poppers, is it mixes with the coconut oil and spreads it on each kernel. Probably take some testing with the electric popper

No. You have to pop the popcorn dry and put the butter on the popped popcorn.

I am so sorry that I don't use butter to make popcorn but I use olive oil after I popped them always.So I am so sorry that I cannnot anwer your need at all...I reccomend you to use olive oil more than butter, it is healthy for us...I think.And this pop conr maker has a recipe inside so it can answer your question about butter!
