Is there a way to make butter pop corn using this popper?

Any similar design hot air popcorn popper like this is not compatible with seasoned corn; you have to add your seasoning/butter after it pops. Some better machines may have a small tray that sits on top that uses the heat to pop the corn to also melt the butter. I had one of those when I was a kid but the butter tray was too small for a large popcorn bowl. If you have a microwave oven, melt the butter in there. It's extremely fast and if you do it in a Pyrex measuring cup, the pour spout makes it easy to drizzle the butter where you want.

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

Iam not sure, because it might go inside the machine. But after I make some popcorn I add my own butter. But it would be cool if we could add butter inside the popper.

Yes, but putting the butter after, not inside de popper. It comes with some recipes in the users manual.

Yes. I make popcorn in it abt 2x weekly. The bottom of the pan distributes heat well. After dumping corn, put water in the pan, and empty. It'll prevent oil residue from building up. Oil gear occasionally. Much better than whirly-pop.

Yes. It has a non-stick coating but you will want to use oil. I use about a TBL with about 1/3 C popcorn.

No u would have to add butter. After u take it out of kettle. This is a great popper. Enjoy

Yes. It's right there on the top, that small cup with the handle sticking out is both the butter melting cup and measures the amount of kernels you use. Make sure the butter is room temperature and cut into tiny cubes so it melts faster. Do not put any seasoning inside the hot air compartment, that is for kernels only. We love using this popper machine- we use it at least once a week! :)

Had one ages ago when I was a scout. Like most scouts, I figured out how to pop popcorn in it. (you need the handle from another kit)

It would not be a good idea to shake the pot while it is on the stove top. Cast iron holds it's heat longer, so remove the corn from the pot quickly to keep from burning the popcorn. Any sauce pan with lid works, maybe an aluminum pot that heats and cools quickly would work the best on a flat topped electric stove for popping corn.

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! :)

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.

I don't quite understand the question. Powdered butter would be powdered... so you'd sprinkle it on. Salt also sprinkles, so you'd sprinkle it on after it's been popped. It's an air pop machine, so you'd have to do all of that after you've already popped the popcorn. Be warned, this is an awful machine that should be returned or thrown in the garbage. It shoots out about half of the kernels unpopped.

We don't use butter or oil inside, we just add the popcorn and about a tablespoon of water. Less unpopped kernels with a little touch of water. We add butter afterwards.

The instructions recommend using 1 tbl spoon of oil or butter. We use canola oil and the popcorn comes out perfect every time with a minimum of unpopped kernels.

Yes. Add it to the oil before the corn. Then fake liquid butter after. Yummy.

I think you could probably use any popcorn and oil combo. It's not a complicated machine and works just fine with the local popcorn/vegetable oil combo I've tried.

i'm sure you can, just use a very small amount. the measurement that we use is 1 tblsp (we have the popcorn machine that's like those in a movie theatre) and there are times when it's too much. since you have a counter top popcorn popper, i'd only use about 1/4 tsp to start out with, then go from there. good luck...

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!

Lee, I use it to pop the corn and it does just fine, at least for me. It doesn't take much. I use about a tsp. full (not heaping, just rounded off) and it makes a pan full. Hope this helps.
