only salt or some oils?

I've used a couple drops of peppermint oil and/or eucalyptus oil..I noticed that herbal oil mixtures were available for adding to salt inhalers. I bought some; then just started adding my own. Caution..not too much!

My wife only uses salt because once the oils are introduced to the inhaler it could be difficult to clean completely to use just salt again. She uses oils with steam, salt by itself.

Maybe use unsalted butter. Most of us like the salty taste and that is why we make them. Good luck.

It says it's 100percent essential oil. ..does not list water in the ingredients, so it should work for salts without dissolving them. It's quite "watery" but does not list water in the ingredients.

Yeah that is a tough one. I use low heat and organic coconut oil. May help.

I always use warm/hot water (but warm enough to touch) & stir a bit so salt can dissolve. Then I use it. And I do use regular salt without the iodine.

The more coarse the better. I buy mine at a local kitchen store. You don't get the same benefits with salt as you do with pepper. Grinding the pepper releases the oils and enhances the flavor. Not so with salt. There is no benefit except you can adjust the size of the salt you want. Besides, its cool to have the set!

No oil required, i just throw in the kernals and butter or salt afterwards.

I don't know for sure. Have you cleaned the inside of it with vinegar? If not do that. How do you know you have enough salt?

You definitely don't need to buy this expensive, super finely granulated salt if you're going to dissolve it in the oil. Stick with a $1.50 box of salt for that.

Hello Joani. I mix it with almond oil but I suppose that any food grade oil would do.

Yes. You will need some kind of liquid. Not much. I use a small amount of olive oil.

White vinegar, but there should be instructions how to do this. I would go to the manufacturer's site and see if the directions are posted there. Salt will just add more hard water build-up.

No. No oil either. You spray the popped corn with olive oil then sprinkle the salt on it to make it stick. You can also use plain table salt but for better results, grind the salt to a fine powder.

none is added to it, as a natural salt it has a small bit, not enough to replace a low iodine issuebrett

Trying to add real butter during the cooking process would interfere with the cooking time. What I've learned from trial & error is to split the oil (I use peanut) 1 tbl & melted real salted butter 1 tbl added to PowerCup & not after cooking. I imagine you could add 2 tbl melted butter & no oil as well. I add sea salt to the kernels before cooking (I'm not a big salt user) to keep the amount of sodium low but still gives a salty flavor. If you use just salted butter you may find you don't need to add any additional salt. I like my combo because the popcorn is not as greasy. I've also tried almond oil & would consider trying other oils but they are expensive. I hope this helps you out?

I have used regular popping corn and regular oil. Do need to season to taste afterwards. The ready made packets are convenient but for me a bit too salty

Not very easily with just water. Baby oil works for skin and alcohol for other surfaces.
