So networking has started to pay off. I just got a call from a guy who does kettle korn at outdoor festivals and fairs-he got my name from a friend of a friend, etc... I'm picking up 15 containers tomorrow! I didn't ask many questions about the oil but I'm betting its relatively clean if the only thing that's ever been fried in it is corn kernels?

Anyone burn kettle korn oil?

I thought the oil was used up when you make the korn?NC State law defines biodiesel as ''any fuel or mixture of fuels derived in whole or in part from agricultural products or animal fats or wastes from these products or fats.''

I've popped kettle corn for many years... probably a couple thousand pounds of the stuff.
The oil is consumed in the process.
We used peanut oil. It was cheaper back then (not cheaper than veggie, but not $50 for 5 gallons either). You pour in the oil and the sugar and mix them together over high heat. Once they are nice and mixed you add the corn. Stir like mad. Once it is done popping pounr in a bunchof salt and keep mixing until you dump it into the cooling pot.
No oil is left.
Unless you're getting clean oil from the guy, I'm not sure why he would have any leftover.Vegistrokin since 08/23/08
