It says the kettle is 2.5 oz, but under the frequently bought together area, it's listing the 8oz pack of popcorn.. should these be used? Or should

Angel,If you click on the popcorn, it says its a case of 24---2.5 oz. Packs.Yes. It would be fine. I also bought that popcorn.

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.

I don't think the 8oz would work. The popper is not that big, the 2.5oz is the perfect size.

I am not certain the size of this kettle as I shipped it directly to a family member. I do know that will handle a 4oz and 7oz bag of popcorn. I understand that the family members just love this machine.

Yes, you mix it in with the oil and popcorn while its heating up. As far as quantity, a little bit goes a long way. You use a teaspoon for every 6-8 oz of kernels.

The measuring cup provided holds 2 oz. of kernels which pops to about 10 cups of popcorn. I could find nothing in the instructions as to repeated usage for a party.

You are probably not using enough popcorn for each batch. Try using at least 1/3 cup to 1/2 cup and you shouldn't have any problem.

I'm sure more than 10 cups. I'm not for sure but I'm estimating. Usually one 6 oz bag - I can feed 4 people with popcorn containers & have some left in the popper.

No, it means that's how many ounces of popcorn you should use in the kettle to get the best results, make sure you use a level to make sure the machine is level for uniform popping of all the popcorn kernels.

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 do not have a stovetop kettle. I use a Presto Electric Popcorn Popper. This is what I do: 2 tablespoons of oil for 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels, or 3 tablespoons of oil for 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels. The amount of salt is to personal taste.

If you measure it by say a ceral bowl full. About 4, which isn't much. I read that you can use the 6oz packages in this 4 oz popper. I'll be ordering those next time. I recommend buying the packages of popcorn on here that have the oil, salted butter and popcorn all in one. It's just like movie theater popcorn. My kids love it.

I pop 4 oz. packages, but I believe it can handle up to 8 oz. Their website says "Makes up to 8 cups of popcorn". The 4 oz. package fills the plastic container at the bottom about 3/4 full.

I think the 6 oz is probably best, but that's just my opinion. What's really great about this kind of popcorn is that you have the ability to put all or just a little pop corn in the popper, as well as the butter and salt.

I have a Stir-crazy popper that is 6 quart and I use the 4 oz. pack and it is just right. I would think the 6 oz. would be perfect for an 8 oz. popper.

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.

At the minimum line there's approximately 12-13 oz. of water in the kettle. Let's call it 12 oz. because that's a more reasonable number.

Movie style popcorn is made with coconut oil. The nice thing about coconut oil is it is a solid so if you get a 2 oz cookie scoop it's easy to add the oil to the kettle without getting it everywhere. You can use vegetable oil but make sure it can take high heat or it will burn. First, turn the kettle on and let it heat up then add the oil. To the oil add ultra fine salt, or if you want a buttery flavor add Flavacol better buttery salt (you can get it at Amazon and it is similar to what they use at the movies). After adding the oil and salt then add the popcorn.

i do not know about the nuts, but we have often successfully made delicious kettle corn in it...I use coconut oil and organic sugar and organic popcorn. I cannot recall the exact recipe but there are several online...just experiment!
