## Description

Commercial Grade / Large Capacity 8oz Kettle / 640 Watt Popcorn Machine

Review: I have been using this machine almost daily for three years. My goal has been to achieve the quintessential movie theater popcorn taste. This machine is brilliant. It does exactly what it should and I have never had any trouble with it. There are a few tricks to get the right result, which I describe below. I am so hooked on real genuine movie theater butter popcorn, I couldn't live without this machine. If you follow these directions, you will have it. You will need kernels, coconut oil, and Flavacol seasoning. I have found that white kernels are the best. There doesn't seem to be any difference in the taste, but the yellow comes out more chewy and tough. The white pops more light and tender. The coconut oil can be white or yellow. Every brand and color I have tried tastes the same. If you use non-coconut oil, your popcorn will taste okay but not the same as the theater. Flavacol is key. You can get close without it, but your popcorn will always be a little off. If you add the right amount of Flavacol to the batch, you will not need salt at all. I get all these ingredients from desertcart. The machine seems to have a brief break-in period. Out of the box, the kettle heated too hot and always smoked and scorched a little. After about two weeks of frequent use, the kettle temperature stopped being quite so hot, but operates at the perfect temperature. I didn't change anything. 1. Turn on all three switches and add 1/3 cup oil and just three kernels of corn to the kettle. Wait for the kettle to heat up (takes one to two minutes). 2. While waiting for the kettle to heat, measure out one cup of kernels. Add one teaspoon of Flavacol directly to the cup of kernels. 3. When the kernels in the kettle start to pop, immediately add the cup of kernels with the Flavacol to the kettle and close the lid and the glass door. 4. When the popping reaches its peak and you notice it slowing down, turn off the kettle heat switch, but leave the other two on. Let it continue to pop. 5. When the popping slows to less than one pop per second, dump the kettle out. While it's turned upside down, give the stirrer a spin with your fingers to knock out any stuck pieces of corn. Return the kettle to upright and turn off the stirrer switch. That's it, it's ready to eat. Keep the heat lamp on to keep the popcorn warm until you empty it out. - For more salty popcorn, use a slightly heaping teaspoon of Flavacol in step 2. - For a smaller batch, the procedure is exactly the same, but use exactly half the ingredient portions I listed above. I host a lot of guests in my home theater and the popcorn I make is famous among my friends. I absolutely love this machine. If I ever had a problem with it, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there a HEAT adjuster somewhere on this?
As this machine does NOT pop our corn very well. Popped corn is small, NOT fluffy-like our Presto air pop**
A: I've had 2 of these poppers. Prior suggestions are correct. Here's a summary of what I've found to work the best. 1. Coconut Oil 2. Preheat oil...I've never needed 5 minutes to heat it sufficiently. Usually within 2-3 minutes, but I wait until the coconut oil starts to snap. 3. Perhaps the most important....keep the kernels dry. I use a sealed storage container and vacate as much air as possible. Finally, I like various popcorn, but the mushroom seems to do best in this popper.....at least for me.

**Q: I just got mine and the light blub is broken..How do I get another one??**
A: More than liklely, this is a heat lamp bulb. You can get one at any home improvement store. It is the same type bulb used in bathroom ceiling heat fans that have heat lamp lights. They can put off some considerable heat, so keep this in mind and buy a lower temperature bulb. It is not a fluorescent or led bulb, which produce no heat. At least, consider an older style incandescent 100 watt bulb. It might put out enough heat to keep your corn warm.

**Q: Can you use over-the-counter popcorn kernels and oil or do you have to use the ones they sell?**
A: I have had the machine for about 4 or 5 months and use it often (3-4 days per week multiple times) in my office at a university. We use off the shelf popcorn and oil and everyone loves it no matter what we use. I use generic no name popcorn and plain old canola oil. I've use Reese's popping corn oil and it doesn't make it better, same thing with organic popcorn... no difference. SO use over-the-counter popcorn white or yellow and any vegetable oil.

**Q: is the top covered or is it open and you can see the switches?**
A: Top is covered.  I put my bags and scoop on top.

Smaller version of what CINEPLEX in Canada uses. Tastes EXACTLY like that. Use the 8 ounce packs from PREFERRED POPCORN. Great Northern also makes their own, BUT, I couldn't find them on AMAZON. Excellent product. When cleaning this machine, first clean out bottom tray of all remaining unpopped corn and detritus. Then turn on the pot heater and the stirrer. Pour about half a cup of water into the pot kettle. Then take 2 or 3 paper towels, scrunch them up in your hand and toss them in with the water and let stir for 8 to 10 minutes. Dump out any remaining water and wet paper towels and use a dry paper towel to clean the pot. The evaporated water will also clean the glass sides and bottom tray as well. Just wipe them down with a paper towel. Inside of pot should look brand new. If any burn stain remains, put a little water in and scrub it with a paper towel. Do this routine after every third or fourth popping session, More often if you want to. Wipe down exterior of machine as needed. This will keep the whole machine looking great.
