Does anyone know what kind of large bags should be used so store popcorn? I'm talking about garbage size. The equivalent of 30 8oz popcorn batches. It's for a charity function. I know they sell large clear recycle bags but I'm not sure if they are safe for food and a lot of them have added chemicals/powders to reduce smell.

That is great info guys - thanks!

In the spirit of giving back I've found that using a large plastic bucket is a great way to add seasonings to popcorn. Just toss the seasoning and popcorn in the bucket straight from the popper, close the lid and shake and it coats the popcorn very well.

I found you need to go through a lot of popcorn to use up the 50 lb bag. I love the prepackaged ones. Bulls Eye is the one Costco carries now and it's good but my favourite was Pop Weaver Nak's Paks

As everyone has chimed in - if you want it to be less soggy leave the doors open as much as possible and for as long as possible. I preheat 5-7 minutes, put the coconut oil (in which is in solid form) and after it's turned to liquid I throw the rest of the stuff in. After it's done popping you can pile it up under the heat lamp and let it dry out for a bit.

With the tray angled out at the bottom and my doors ajar I don't find any hit the floor but maybe my model is different.

I use Ghee (clarified butter) as it's easy to find in my local supermarket. Layer the stuff on as you fill the bucket up.

I've had mine for 20 years now and never cleaned the kettle. I still have the cleaning kit I bought to clean it with. I do wipe the insides down of the plexiglass once in awhile but that's it.

I found the same thing with mushroom and flavour. They sell it here locally at the bulk barn. Maybe they have an equivalent store like that where you live? Everything is sold in bins and you scoop out want you want to buy and place it in a plastic bag.

I also tried it both ways and add the popcorn as soon as the oil is melted. It doesn’t take very long if I preheat the kettle as instructed.
