Can you oil or butter in with popaire 2, - Microwave Ovens

Determine the precise location of the arcing. Perhaps the container with butter had metal in/on it. Does this occur with a cup of water?

It is likely at or near the mica cover over the microwave magnetron antenna. An accumulation of soap, grease, oil and food around or behind this shield will eventually cook down, and burn, as it converts to carbon. The element carbon is metallic and microwaves do not get along well with metals. Due to the close proximity of this shield to the magnetron antenna (usually less than 1/2 inch) the power is intense and arcing occurs. In a worst case scenario the metal band at the tip of the mag tube will melt, requiring the magnetron tube to be replaced.

Gently remove the mica shield, inspect, clean any debris, re-coat burnt or bare metal with appliance touch up paint, allow to dry and reinstall the shield, While the shield is off also look at the mag antenna to spot any burnt of melted issues. A bright light and a small mirror are useful for this task.

Mica is a delicate material and must be handled carefully - or replaced.

Hi Julie
It could be that you are using too much sugar, therefore making a more coarse mixture. Beat your butter first, then add the sugar until your mix is as you want it. The Beater would be the proper tool for this. The whisk is for meringue or whipped cream type mixes.
I hope this helps you to some degree

What type of popper is it? The 50030178 model isn't one I'm familiar with.

For most of the small air poppers, such as the Presto Air poppers, fill the measuring cup lid with popcorn so that the popcorn is level with the top of the cup. Add this amount of popcorn to the popper. On those units, there is a fill line inside the popping chamber. Do not fill past the line. For these air poppers, if you want to have butter or margarine on the popcorn, add 3 tablespoons of the extra to the lid after you replace it on the popper.

For the Hamilton Beach Hot Oil Poppers, the manual for the 73300 is available here: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/use-and-care/use-and-care.php . Fill in the type of device and then the model. The amount of oil and popcorn will depend on how much you want to make. For a single serving, you need 2 T (tablespoons) of kernels and 1 - 1 1/2 t (teaspoon) of oil. For enough popcorn for a family, you should use 1/2 cup of kernels and 1T of oil. http://useandcares.hamiltonbeach.com/files/840190701.pdf has a full chart of the amounts on page 6.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the brand of popper and I'll check for a specific chart for that unit.

(It's been a while since I used the air popper that I used to have.)

It is an Over the Range oven so absorbs the heat from the cooker and they are quite well insulated.

Just a few drops of oil will be ok or just a quarter spoon of butter or margarine. This is just to give the popcorn a flavour because you can equally pop with no oils or margarine.

Probably not but who likes warm peanut butter? It is gross enough when cold!
Have a good New Year.

Hi. 15 psi for 20 minutes. Here is the recipe STUFFED PEPPERS Printed from COOKS.COM
1 lb. hamburger
1/2 c. uncooked rice
Onion
Onion salt
Garlic salt
Celery salt
Tomato sauce
Green peppers
Combine hamburger, rice, onion, seasonings, and a half can of tomato sauce. Stuff mixture into peppers loosely. Dot with butter. Pour remaining tomato sauce over pepper. Place in a pressure cooker. Pour water in to almost cover peppers. Pressure cook for 20 minutes.

Hi,
I don't know what model you have but it most likely has a non-stick surface. This only lasts for a certain time before it wears off. Do you use oil or butter on the surfaces? Also, did the waffles turn out alright the last time you used it? If they were fine the last time try making the batter once more and make sure you follow the recipe exactly as it was made the last time it was successful.
Let me know what the outcome is.
Best wishes,

Search the internet for “roast chicken recipe for microwave”
Here is one just in case you don’t find one:
Microwave Roast Chicken
3 lbs. chicken
1 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. butter or margarine

Instructions
Melt butter in a custard cup in microwave. Mix paprika into melted butter. Wash chicken (reserve giblets, these are best cooked conventionally). Sprinkle inside of chicken with salt. Cover ends of legs, tail, and wings with small pieces of saran wrap or wax paper. Place trivet on inverted saucer or small casserole lid in 12 x 7 inch baking dish. Place chicken breast side down on saucers. Brush with butter. Cover with waxed paper. Cook 12 minutes. Remove wax paper or saran warp from legs, tail, and wings. Turn chicken breast side up and brush with butter.
