I use two scoops of oil (using the oil scoop that came with it) and one scoop of WHITE popcorn (using the popcorn scoop that came with it)

About 1/4 cup kernels and 2tbs coconut oil. I have mostly used prepackaged amounts. But I did find out that you can cut open the microwaveable bags and squeeze that all in there and it comes out great. We use our popcorn machine often, its very nice to have and entertaining for all ages.

You use the measuring spoons included. Two tablespoons of oil and 1/4 cup of popcorn. If your off a little bit it won't matter. Make sure the popper has warmed up before you add(5 minutes) but turn it off when you add the oil and popcorn.

You can use any popcorn or popcorn oil. This unit works very well and so far is not showing any signs of trouble. I make 2 batches every workday.Paul rothstein

1 to 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 cup to 3/4 cup of popping corn. Use one to one of each, so if you use 1 tablespoon oil, put in 1/4 cup corn. No more than 3/4 cup corn.

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.

If you have an 8 oz KETTLE, use 1/3 c oil (put it in first to warm up), then place 1c popcorn and slightly less than 1T popcorn salt in kettle. You will probably need to play with the amount of salt to taste.

If you still have the scoop... that came with the popper... we always use 2 scoops of popcorn... to 2 oz. pack of naks popping oil.. with a 1/2 teaspoon of (Gold medal premier flavacal) popcorn salt... if you lost your scoop...its about 1/2 a cup size... Put in the oil first and let melt then add your popcorn scoops with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt... and there you go let it pop your house with a smell that is awsome. frome all the stuff we tried this is the best way and taste. we get the best stuff from a site on the web... we get the best oil..like the oldfation popcorn the movies used to have... it's aswome here is the site for you you can get all your suplies for the best popcorn hands down!

You can use any kind that you want but I would suggest you use coconut oil for your popping oil. It gives the corn a better taste remember a little goes a long way also a little bit of popcorn goes a long way. 1 cup will treat 2 people with no problem.

the instruction manual states to use vegetable oil- no more than 3Tbl spoons. I use coconut oil 1Tbl spoon and 2/3 cup popcorn. Popcorn always tastes good-no burnt popcorn :)

I never used oil instead I used smartbalance and put popcorn salt with that and it's delicious. You may want to put the butter on top just as it starts to pop. This popper doesn't get as hot as stir crazy. However because of that the popcorn isn't as hard. Good luck. Try using smartbalance and see if you like it. Use a lot.

I have an older model that I've had for over 10 years. I put about a Tablespoon of oil in, then cook that for 1 minute. Then I add the popcorn-- enough to loosely cover the bottom of the container. (I also add about a tsp of butter with the kernels). Cook for 2.5 minutes. Preheating the oil does the trick for getting the perfect popcorn!

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 do that all the time. In fact, I use olive oil, dump in some salt, stir it around, then add popcorn. Popcorn comes out nice and salted.

Hi Laurie, yes it does need oil. We have found out that 2-3 tablespoons of organic olive oil per 1/2 cup of organic popcorn kernels makes a great bowl of popcorn. You need to experiment with how much oil according to your taste. This popper is easy clean, we just toss the cooking plater an bowl into the dishwasher. Great product.

I use 1/4-1/3 cup of white popcorn on high for about 4 minutes. I have a few unpopped kernels. It has never been tough.
