Popcorn Making 101

Popcorn Machine Rental Guidelines

  1. Turn all switches ON (kettle heat, kettle motor; light is optional).
  2. First batch only: let kettle heat about 3–4 minutes.
  3. Add one popcorn kit per batch (oil, flavoring, corn).
    Do not touch the HOT kettle.
  4. Dump when popping is about 99% completed. After dumping, return kettle to upright position, making sure the kettle motor gear is engaged with the stirring gear.
  5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 — it’s recommended to pop at least 5 batches each time.
  6. Final batch only: turn kettle heat switch OFF when corn starts popping rapidly (raising kettle lid).
WARNING!
  • To avoid damaging the kettle & prevent fire: always keep kettle heat switch OFF when not popping corn.
  • Be sure stirring is ON while popping corn.
  • Keep doors slightly OPEN when popping corn.
  • Keep doors CLOSED when not popping corn.

Serving Tips

Move popcorn around gently with the scoop (to avoid breaking up popped corn). This helps un-popped kernels settle to the bottom. To avoid un-popped kernels, always scoop from the top.

  • Empty drawer as needed.
  • Please do not clean the Popcorn machine.
