How many ounces of popcorn or how many cups would be ideal in these containers?

1 1/2 cups would be perfect. You could fit more, but we like to add toppings like m&ms;, peanuts, etc. So we don't want too many calories :-) . We love these boxes ! So easy to use....and re/use.

Hello!!! We have these and it seems like you can fit 2-21/2 cups of popped corn. Great quality and assemble super easy! Hope this was helpful!

It's not a huge container. I would say the most you can fit in them is 2 cups.

I agree with the 2-21/2 cups. We have 12 grandchildren and these are the perfect size for them and much easier for them th handle than bags.

I honestly don't know. I think it means you can pop 6 oz of popcorn at a time. We have been able to put in three or four scoops at a time with great results. One scoop--about two ounces of kernels--just doesn't make enough popcorn for our crowd. So a minimum of two scoops. Would a four ounce kettle handle three scoops I just don't know.

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.

Well, of course, it depends on what you mean by "serving". For me, a serving is my 3 gallon stainless steel bowl, which requires 8 oz. by weight, of kernels. That holds me for a couple days. Extrapolating that out, I figure that this 12.5 Lb. bag should be good for about 75 gallons of popcorn. If you serve up quart-sized bags, that should give you about 300 generous servings. And, by the way, this Paragon popcorn is First Rate.

Actually my Great Northern Popcorn maker came with paper bags similar so we now have so many...haven't used them yet.Like another customer said, "they are just a novelty" we prefer a bowl too...find it fun though to give out to kids that visit and a take home bag of popcorn...guessing they hold closer to 3 cups not overflowing...maybe close to 4 stuffed.

I'd guess 2 cups or so if you fill it full? It's a little bigger than a dvd.

My wife and I can empty the 6oz machine during a movie. I'd say it makes a little more than two regular sized bags of microwave popcorn. Actual volume may vary by the type of popcorn you use. We use the prepackaged kind with the oil and salt already in the package, so the volume is pretty consistent. Currently, we're using the Detroit Popcorn brand. I've tried a couple of brands - some saltier, some less salty. Detroit Popcorn was the best mix for me (still pretty salty). And coconut oil is a must! When I got mine, I was between the 4oz and 6oz. I went with the 6oz because it had fewer plastic parts than the 4oz machine, and a better heater. I'm glad I did because I think 4oz would have been too little. The 6oz is just right for us.

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.

Correct, it takes 6oz. popcorn kits. if you are buying the prefilled kind, you can use the 8oz. I have used the 8 oz. to pop more at one time.

Mine are about 3 inches diameter x 4.5 inches tall. They hold about 1 1/2 cups of popcorn seasoning. I like mine very much.

Don't have any left to check ... but they were perfect for school lunches. Probably between .5 and 1 ounce. Hope that helps ...

If the popcorn is for 30, and is popped, then no. You probably need a 5-6 gallon container. There is a similar glass container at Walmart. That would give you an idea if it's what you want. There are decorated tin popcorn cans. You might want to check them out. I like your idea. Good luck!

I had the same problem with this questionable purchase...no instructions of any kind. The way I figured this out was to buy some of what are called "Popcorn Kits". These are all in one packages with the kernels, Coconut Oil, and Flavacol salt all pre-measured in a single package. They are sold to match the typical popcorn machine; that is, for your 8 ounce machine, you would buy an 8 ounce kit. This refers to the finished weight; that is, an 8 ounce machine will make 8 ounces (weight) of finished popcorn. The package contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels, I poured my kernels into a measuring cup and discovered that it contains 8 fluid ounces of kernels. The oil is usually stated in Tablespoons (1 Tsp = 0.5 fl. oz.). The Mega Pop kit that I used, had about 6 Tbsp--about 3 ounces--of Coconut Oil. So, the Mega Pop is 8 ounces of kernels and about 3 ounces of Coconut Oil. The general rule of thumb for popcorn is one ounce of oil for three ounces of kernels. With these machines, you put all the oil in, let it heat, then add all the kernels and the Flavacol. As the kernels pop, they will cascade out of the popper, until all the kernels are done. There are videos all over YouTube on the use of these machines. Here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eW5zs2Tpp5M

25 five-gram containers if you only want one pinch per cupcake and 50 containers if you want two pinches per cupcake. I'd probably buy 40, myself.

4-cup and 7-cup. I love these containers. They get frosty chilled and are solid with a good seal.

Funny you should ask. Just spent the entire day popping corn for the middle school teachers. I used Great Northern 4oz popcorn packs. They work great. Do not get anything bigger than 4oz.

The cooking/popping kettle holds about 8 oz of kernels the warming area holds about 20oz of popped corn. Serving size depends on the containers you put it in but it is a lot for a household but not for a busy office or retail establishment.
