Best Answer

The type of oil affects the taste of the popcorn, and you need an oil that can be heated to high temperatures. Popcorn pops when it reaches a temperature of 450°F (232°C). Movie theaters frequently use coconut oil which is said to be the best-tasting, but some now offer popcorn for the health-conscious, such as popcorn made with canola oil or air-popped popcorn. Other oils that can be used to pop popcorn are sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, and soybean oil. Avoid oils that will smoke at popcorn popping temperatures, such as olive oil or grape seed oil.

You cannot use it in cooking the popcorn. It would damage the machine.
