The packets that i bought at the same time as the maker, makes really good popcorn. its a brand that amazon suggested. it is "Great Northern Popcorn, 8-Ounce Portion Packs (Pack of 24) by Great Northern Popcorn Company" these are an "all in one" pakcets. also, you can buy popcorn at smart and final that are also all in one kits. but we recommend using popping oil with coconut oil for best taste. good luck! it makes very good popcorn!

1 tbs of oil (canola,coconut,sunflower...) with 1/3 of cup of popcorn. Season it as you want with butter salt or Flavacol if you wish. You can also buy the little packets already portioned.

I have used regular oil and regular popping corn. Just have to season it after it is through popping. Easier to use then other popcorn poppers

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!

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.

We use vegetable oil and lightly salt only.. You could add melted butter or margarine if you wish after popping. Works great and popcorn tastes great.

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

To go along with this popcorn maker I bought a popcorn kit that had the popcorn,butter and also seasoning so I really don't remember how big the popcorn bags where. Maybe they still sell the kits and you can see there. I bought them on amazon. Hope you get a answer.

You only use 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. 1/3 to 2/3 cup of Popcorn Kernels, only 1 Tbsp of vegetable oil. Enjoy!!!

This is a kettle style that requires oil. Northwestern makes a popcorn kit that has everything in a packet and taste delicious.

It will need butter flavor added, I like to use Flavacol and some real butter melted over the popcorn, and it will be just like Movie's.

Use Windex on the inside and outside, and take the tray that the popcorn baked in and use oven cleaner. That's all there is to it.

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.

All you need besides the ranch mix is milk and mayonnaise. How much depends on how much dressing you wish to make. The dry mix is excellent on popcorn.

You can use any kind of popcorn; it doesn't have to be the packaged mixes. It comes with a measuring spoon for oil and a measuring cup for the popcorn.

Just pour in the contents of the 1 oil and 1 popcorn pack, snap on the top, turn on the heat and start cranking. When the popping stops, you're done.

It should feel like hard butter which you can dent by squeezing. After you exude it from the package into the heat of the popcorn maker it will melt, and within 15 seconds it will be all liquid and you can pour in the popcorn kernels and seasoning.

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.
