Abstract: A system and method for dispensing a desired volume of popcorn popping oil into the kettle of a popcorn popper assembles a container of oil raised above the kettle with a flexible tube leading from the container to a point just above the kettle and the placement of two normally closed valves along the tubing forming a chamber within the tube between the two valves with a volume determined by the separation of the valves and the volume of the tube chamber is the volume of oil to be dispensed and the system is operated by opening the upper valve closest to the oil container, closing the upper valve after the tube chamber fills with oil, and then opening the lower valve allowing the oil to flow from the tube chamber into the popping kettle.
