Note that I have changed some of the spelling so that screen reading software and speech synthesizers will give closer to correct pronunciation for clarity.
The following chart is for a Westbenz Stir Crazy 6 quart electric popcorn popper, but can be used elsewhere. If not using the specified popper, be sure to use an appropriately sized container to allow the popcorn to properly expand as it pops. If using the specified popper, place the butter in the space provided for it, in the bottom of the lid that serves as the serving bowl. Be sure to remove the plastic cover, otherwise, it may melt due to the heat produced. Put the oil and kernels into the base, place the lid on, add the butter to the place provided, then plug the popper in. If using a regular grade of popcorn, not gourmet quality, such as Jolly Time, for example: To make 2 quarts of popcorn, use 1 tablespoon of oil, 1/3 cup of kernels, and, if desired, 1 tablespoon of butter. To make 4 quarts, use 2 tablespoons of oil, 2/3 cups of kernels, and, if desired, 2 tablespoons of butter. To make 6 quarts of popcorn, use 3 tablespoons of oil, 1 cup of kernels, and, if desired, 3 tablespoons of butter. **If using a gourmet/premium grade of corn, which are more expensive but pop up larger and produce fewer duds, such as Orville ReddenBocker's, use less than amount of kernels specified above. To make 2 quarts of popcorn, use 1/4 cup of kernels. for 4 quarts, use 1/2 cup of kernels. for 6 quarts, use 3/4 cup of kernels. Also, if your Microwave oven bites the dust, and all you have on hand are bags of Microwave popcorn, and you're in the mood for popcorn, just place the contents of the bag into your popper, machine, or pan, and pop. It will work, and no extra oil or butter is needed. Now, get some soda, popcorn, and watch a good movie while you snack. --- Be positive!
