I think it will give the amount on the bag. My guess is that if you use one
of the bigger bags, that will be 2 quarts, but it's just a guess.

Hi,
Thanks Charles, this is interesting. If I use the contents of one bag (not
the snack size) of microwave popcorn, anyone know how much popped corn
that will make?
thank you,
Nancy

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.
