HELPFUL HINTS
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly as it has
lost its moisture content and may scorch.
Store popcorn in airtight containers made of glass or plastic to avoid moisture loss
in the kernels. Be sure that the container is stored in a cool place, do not store in
the refrigerator. Most refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels,
resulting in poor popping.
This popcorn popper can accommodate both regular and premium popcorns.
Premium and gourmet popcorns may not yield results as good as regular popcorn.
If premium or gourmet popcorn is used, you may notice an increase in the number
of unpopped kernels.
If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as
the freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn type.
Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.
Instead of popping with vegetable oil, try one of these healthy choices, extra virgin olive
oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil. Specialty oils may also
be used, but some experimentation may be necessary to find the best popping results
and flavor you prefer. Do not use more than 3 tablespoons of any oil.
Add flavor to your oil while popping - add a garlic clove or minced garlic, onion
slices, or jalapeño peppers.
When done popping, start layering flavors. We find a light misting of olive oil,
(many great infused olive oils are also available) lemon or lime juice, balsamic
vinegar, or even water will help any additional seasonings adhere to the corn.
Melted chocolate or marshmallow is a great way to bind and layer decadent
ingredients with popcorn, or to create popcorn balls, bars, or pops. For a more
traditional binder, boil 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of corn syrup, then add your other
ingredients toss and form. Or while still warm, roll balls or pops in crushed
candies, coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles.
