1. Put the proper amount of vegetable oil and corn into the popper base. Do not
add more corn or oil than recommended. Spread the corn evenly over the
popping surface. Do not substitute butter, margarine, shortening, or lard for
vegetable oil as these will burn or smoke excessively.
2. Place the cover on the popper base making sure the handles of the cover fit into
the handles of the popper base. If buttered corn is desired, divide the
recommended amount of refrigerated butter into 6 equal-sized pats and place in
a single layer over the butter holes in the butter well. (If unrefrigerated butter is
used, add to the butter well after the first kernel of corn pops.) The popcorn will
be buttered as it pops. Do not place the plastic cap on the cover until after the
corn is popped. If unbuttered corn is desired, do not add butter to the butter well
and do not place the cap on the cover until after the corn is popped.
3. Insert the cord into the popper base. Plug cord into a
120 volt AC outlet only. The stirring rod will rotate as
long as the corn popper is plugged in. Do not shake the
popper during the popping cycle. In 4 to 6 minutes
(depending on quantity of corn being popped) the
popping cycle will be completed. Unplug the cord from
the wall outlet. Use a hot pad to remove the cord from
the popper base.
4. If the butter is not completely melted in the butter well, use a pastry brush to
push any remaining butter through the buttering holes.
5. Snap the plastic cap securely onto the cover. This cap must be on the cover
before the popper is inverted. Make sure the handles of the popper cover are
placed into the handles of the popper base. Grasp the handles firmly and turn
the popper upside down, turning the popper away from you. Lift the popper
base away from the cover, being careful of escaping steam.
6. The popcorn is now ready for serving. Sprinkle popcorn with salt if desired.
Popping Additional Batches of Popcorn -
If you plan to pop more corn
immediately, transfer the popcorn from the serving cover to another serving bowl.
Follow steps 1 through 6 above.
