 cup
Approximately 10 cups 
popped popcorn
½ cup 
Approximately 15 cups 
popped popcorn
NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger  
kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped 
corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may 
sometimes be greater than stated above. 
The flavor possibilities for popcorn are end-
less. Just add melted butter and your favorite 
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will 
become much crisper and the flavors become 
more intense if it is heated with toppings in a 
300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before 
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking 
sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick 
cooking spray.
NOTE: It is very important to use fresh 
popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels 
will not fully pop and/or it may take longer 
for them to pop.
