Can you use butter in Cuisinart popcorn maker?

I just used oil and poured melted butter over it. It’s silicone so it wont burn up the bowl. If you do use butter you would need to melt it and coat the kernels. I add seasoning and Parmesan cheese and it tastes better then any popcorn out there.

Can you use too much oil when popping popcorn?

If you use too much oil, this can easily lead to poor popping results. The problem with too much oil is that the kernels end up swimming in the oil and roasting slowly instead of exploding into fully popped kernels. Also, do not pour in too many kernels with the oil.

How many kernels do you put in an air popper?

Most bowls are large enough to make only about 9 cups of popped popcorn at a time (using about ⅓ cup of kernels), in contrast to the roughly 18 cups that an air popper can produce (using about a ½ cup of kernels).

How do you make popcorn in an air popper?

2. Position a 4-quart heatproof bowl under the popping chute. Plug the popper in; popping will be complete within 2 to 3 minutes after popping begins.

Can you add oil to air popper?

An air popper doesn’t require any added oil or flavorings, but store-bought microwave popcorn has additional ingredients, like salt, oil and chemical flavorings that taste like butter. The bags themselves also contain perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), which keep oil from seeping through the container.
