I have two of your popcorn makers and lost instructions on the amounts of ingrediients. I need to know how much corn, oil and salt to put in aluminum popper thank yhou

Their instructions say 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 cup popcorn and salt to taste.

That model is a 6oz popcorn machine.

3/4 cup popcorn kernels (6oz)
slight 1/4 cup oil (1.6oz-a quarter cup is 2 oz.)
1 teaspoon popcorn salt.

Here is the Manual. or pre-heat 3mins. 1 tablesppon oil, 1/3 cup corn, and add a 1/2 teaspoon popcorn salt to kettle.

unless you have the instruction manual, only trial-and-error will tell you. Start with 2 tablespoons of oil and 1/2 cup of corn kernals. If there is oil left after the corn is popped, decrease the amount of oil by a teaspoon. If the popped corn is burned, increase the oil by a teaspoon. As for the corn, if the pot is full when the popping is done, 1/2 cup is the right amount. If the popped corn over flows, 1/2 cup is too much. Vary the oil and corn until you get it right. Good luck! I love popcorn, so I wish you the best.

The manual can be found here:

Generally, you want a ratio of 3 oz. of corn to 1 oz. of oil. How much corn you put into the kettle depends on the size of the kettle.

The usual way to use a pop corn popper is to:
1st - add oil
2nd - add popcorn
3rd - add any seasoning (if using the pre-packaged "theater" popcorn mix).

DO NOT add butter into the popper, as it will burn quickly and make for some foul tasting pop corn.

You can always add butter and salt to taste AFTER the pop corn is done popping.

Hope you find this Very Helpful. Best regards!

I had the same problem when I firs bought mine. I followed the instructions as to the proportion of corn to oil. Forget the book! I found that with this machine I had to use three times the oil that was caled for in the instructions to get all of the corn to pop. Better yet, we started purchasing the premade kits with the oil, popcorn and salt. Since changing to both of these systems we have enjoyed GREAT ppcorn!

Method One

1. Pour a quarter cup of popcorn kernels into a paper bag.
2. Fold the top of the bag three times.
3. Place the paper bag in the microwave.
4. Set the timer for 40 to 60 seconds. (mine took 3-4 minutes)
5. Wait and have fun.
6. Remove the bag and pour the popcorn into a dish.
7. Cook unbaked kernels for about 15 to 20 seconds.
8. Add the extra popcorn to the other batch.
9. Pour melted butter and salt onto the popcorn.
10. Serve.

Method Two

1. Take a frying pan and a fitting lid.
2. Put some grease (canola oil for example) in it to make sure your corns won't stick to your pan.
3. Wait until the pan is hot--you can add 1 or 2 kernels to the pan as it heats up... when they pop, the pan is hot enough to add the rest of the corn
4. Put in the corns, make sure you use corns which are meant to use in a pan.
5. Put on the lid fast! Make sure no corns flip out. Shake your pan a few times to make sure all corns are loose.
6. Now you hear a lot of pops, just wait until all sound is gone.
7. When nothing happens quickly take of the pan and put your corns in a bowl.
8. Put on salt/sugar.
9. Serve.

Method Three

1. Buy some microwave popcorn.
2. Follow the instructions.
3. Serve.
