Oil seems to be the answer. I have an air popper. I doubt if adding oil after it's popped, even warmed up oil, would make it hot enough for the powdered flavors to stick. I'll consider getting another popper for special occasions. I did look at all the flavors that come in envelopes, and there's a good selection. Abby

To make 6 quarts of popcorn in 5 minutes, it takes 3 tablespoons of oil. Very few duds, too. For regular corn, it takes 1 cup of raw popcorn. For the gourmet popcorn, it takes 3/4 of a cup. --- Be positive!
