Popping Corn Instructions
This section describes instructions for popping Salted Popcorn.
The popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored
coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black deposits in
the kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Popping Salted (Standard) Popcorn

1.
Turn all switches ON.
2.
To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three
kernels of corn in one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready.
3.
Lift kettle lid, pour in popcorn and Flavacol, then add oil; close lid.
4.
When corn has finished popping, gently dump the popcorn.
Popping
Tip:
On final batch, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open
by the popping corn (kettle has plenty of heat to finish popping). This helps
eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle.
5.
When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
