Making Caramel Corn
Instructions for Making Caramel Corn (Mark 20)
Always remember—leave the lid on the kettle during the first part of the batch. Once steam
starts to “roll-up” from under the lid, carefully remove the lid for remainder of the cooking cycle.
CAUTION: Beware of rising steam; keep face and hands clear of rising steam.
1.
Turn Heat/Motor Switch ON (leave Motor Only Switch OFF).
2.
Add (4) 22 oz. packages of Gold Medal Caramel Corn Mix (Item No. 2094), 16 cups of
granulated sugar (brown or white), and 32–48 oz. of water (add water last).
Note:
If using Gold Medal “One Step” Caramel Corn Mix,
DO NOT
add granulated sugar.
3.
Turn Motor Only Switch ON—mix approx. 1 minute, then turn Motor Only Switch OFF.
(With the Heat/Motor Switch still ON—motor will run for 30 sec. of every minute.)
4.
Add 16 oz. of coconut oil or vegetable oil. Put on the lid.
Note:
Once steam starts to “roll-up” from under the lid, carefully remove lid for
remainder of cooking cycle.
5.
Allow mix to cook until buzzer sounds at 280°F product temperature.
Dual Timer Units:
When the first buzzer sounds, add flavor mixture (if desired), the
unit will continue to heat until the second buzzer sounds at 280°F product temperature.
Note:
Product temperature is measured with an accurate candy thermometer.
(Reference the Heat Control Adjustment section.)
6.
Turn Heat/Motor Switch OFF.
7.
Turn Motor Only Switch ON.
8.
Add 20 gallons of pre-popped corn.
9.
Allow corn to mix for approx. 10 seconds with kettle in upright position.
10.
Move kettle to mix position and spray 20–30 “squirts” of Gold Medal Free-N-Easy (Item
No. 2250) on caramel corn to help separation—mix popcorn until thoroughly coated.
11.
Dump caramel corn into a cooling pan—mix and separate the caramel corn using two
popcorn scoops.
12.
After dumping, turn Motor Only Switch OFF.
13.
Allow finished product to cool before packaging.
During normal operation,
sugar builds up in the kettle and it must be removed (reference
Kettle Cleaning Procedure in the Care and Cleaning section.):
•
Steam the kettle every 3–4 batches to remove sugar build-up.
•
Steam the kettle after making single batches if unit is turned off between batches.
•
Steam the kettle before turning unit off for the day.
