This is exactly why I'm not looking for stuff found on the web. I want only
firsthand experiences that are reliable.
My electric popper, which has just recently bit the proverbial dust, used 1
cup of corn and 3 tablespoons of oil to make 6 quarts of popcorn.

Where did you find this? How do we know it is reputable? A half cup of
popcorn is a heck of a lot of popcorn. You would have to have the big
brown grocery bag for this full! Do not do this. This recipe is not
reliable and is unsafe. By the time all that corn pops, you may have some
burnt and the door could even maybe pop open because tht is
mini-explosions doing the popping. I don't know the force, but there is a
force and energy being released.

I got this from doing a search on the web. This is for 2 servings, and I'm
sure you could add more seasonings if you want.
1/2 cup unpopped popcorn
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Directions
1.In a cup or small bowl, mix together the unpopped popcorn and oil. Pour
the coated corn into a brown paper lunch sack, and sprinkle in the salt.
Fold the top of the bag over twice to seal in the ingredients.
2.Cook in the microwave at full power for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes, or until you
hear pauses of about 2 seconds between pops. Carefully open the bag
carefully to let out steam

That would be no better than hot air popcorn, which is extremely dry.
This
is not what I am trying to accomplish.
With microwave popcorn, the butter, oil, salt, and popcorn are all in the
bag. You then microwave it. This is exactly what I want to do with raw
kernels, butter, oil, and seasoning, as stated in the original query.

This is false sort of. You put the raw without oiled kernels in the
paper bag, tape it closed, pop it, and then add your butter in the
bowl if you desire butter. You are going to have a super mess if you
put cooking oil in a paper bag. The kernels are considered a whole
grain so without the grease is a very healthy snack and is very low
calorie too! I think it is
5 cups for like 50 calories of popped corn without looking it up for
exactness.
It is hard to answer your question about how much. I don't know the
size of your bag or microwave or its strength. So, I'd start with a
tablespoon of kernels and adjust from there after the first time.

Just curious if anyone knows this for a fact. I do not want a guess,
only if you know for sure.
You can put raw popcorn kernels, cooking oil, and butter into a paper
bag and tape it closed, or use a microwavable container that has a
lid, and microwave it successfully, rather than buying premeasured
microwave popcorn.
If so, in what proportions?
Thanks.
