I use coconut oil
@Mahm: I tried coconut oil, but I found peanut oil seems to give a more butter taste and feel.
Didn't like light olive oil at all, and regular veggie oils (safflower, corn, etc.) didn't do much.I do however put a couple dried red chilies (like you get in Chinese food you can't eat) in the oil before I start the pop, and it does impart a slightly spicy taste.I usually also use some popcorn salt on mine. Although the instructions say you can put a 1 or 2 TBL of salt in the oil/popcorn before starting and it will evenly salt the corn when done, it seems to just clump in the bottom. 4951
