I have always loved Orville popcorn and have enjoyed it for many years, however, the last few times I puchased this product I have almost busted my teeth on unpopped kernels. There are also a ton left at the bottom of my bowl. Not sure if something has changed but I think I might have to try another brand. Very disappointing to say the least!

Has never failed using oil & pot. We have followed the directions and use our 49 year old family popcorn pot. (had tried air poppers and popcorn makers but when back to tradition). 1/3 cup popcorn plus two table spoons of oil (prefer advacado but will use canola as they have high temp ratings ) - place three kernels in pot, when they have popped add the remainder. When the popping is underway let moisture escape (can use screen or let lid lift) so it is not tough. (too much oil -tough, too little oil or too cool may not pop, too hot may burn). We have had success.

I got a microwave popcorn maker bowl as a gift from a friend. I use less than a tablespoon of oil, then I put about 3 tablespoons of popcorn and mix it so that the kernels are covered. Then I microwave it for almost 3 minutes using the popcorn button. I wait for the popping to slow; so that tells me when it's ready, so I don't burn the popcorn. After, I spirnkle with a bit of himalayan pink salt if I want to. Healthy snack. Taste great to me. I think popping on the stove is always messy; and people usually tend to get tough kernels. Whoever reads this, try a microwave bowl popcorn maker. Any kernel I've tried even from a different brand comes out pretty tough on the stove top. I don't think it's the brand. This is my go-to popcorn.

I grew up with Orville Redenbacher's in Northwest Indiana in the early-1960s to mid-1970s. I've rarely if ever been disappointed with the results from popping the original yellow kernel popcorn in a cast iron skillet with a bit of oil. Microwaving a bag of Orville Redenbacher's might be more convenient, but I like the skillet method best.

I tried this out for the first time switching out from those old microwave bags due to my health relating to palm oil and I gave this a try. I put it on the cooktop following the instructions and half of the batch was unpopped kernals. At first, I thought this was just simply a bad batch but then I went to buy another one and got the same result. As for the overall feel of this product, it's nothing too eye-catching, it's just your regular old popcorn kernels that you get at the movie theater. I'm a tad bit disappointed at the unpopped kernels, it's like switching from microwave bag to stovetop did nothing. I may not buy this again, and I may advise people to do the same, but maybe in the future whenever this issue is corrected, I will try this again.

I buy this at my local grocery store. I use a silicone microwave popper. I set the 1100-watt microwave to about 3.5 minutes. I listen to it pop and wait until most have popped. Occasionally, I have to stop it a little early, but rarely. I scoop out the popped kernels into a container. Any unpopped kernels I stick back in the microwave for 66 seconds. I scoop those popped kernels into the container. I usually have less than 10 unpopped kernels at this point. I add popcorn salt and imitation butter to my popcorn and mix it around for even distribution. I'm ready for my movie.

Thought I was buying a top of the line product but I was mistaken. Bought the white corn first and popped it in my hot air popper and waited in anticipation for some good old fashioned popcorn like my mother used to make. Unfortunately I got more hulls than clean popcorn. Thinking it may be a bad batch, I tried it again with the original. Same results. Not the quality it used to be. Orville Redenbacher would not be pleased. Neither am I.

I put coconut oil in pan over low heat. Let it warm up, add a little butter. When butter melts, add popcorn to cover bottom of pan. Cover, let popcorn warm up. Shake pan occasionally. When first kernal pops, turn up the heat and shake the pan until popping ends.

This popcorn has changed and not for the better. It used to pop large, tender but crunchy popcorn now it pops small and dry like cheap popcorn. It also used to have a buttery flavor on its own and I could always tell what was your product because it was consistently tasty. I won't be buying this any longer spending a lot more money for terrible quality.

This has been my go to Popcorn product for many years. I either use my Pro Popper with the twirly handle or if just making a single bowl, using a shaken medium pot with a vent hole on the stovetop with a little canola oil and medium 6/10 heat. The only time I've ever had a problem is when the product has been opened a while and gone stale. Air poppers have too many un-popped kernels so found the tried and true method always worked best.
