Setup and Preparation
Before beginning, ensure your popcorn machine is clean and in good working order. This kit is pre-measured for 8 oz. kettles.
Popping Instructions:
- Turn on all switches of your popcorn machine.
- Allow the kettle to heat for 3-4 minutes (when starting a cold machine).
- Cut the oil packet along the top edge and squeeze out the oil into the kettle. Immediately after oil melts, cut the corn packet along the top edge and add 3 kernels. When these pop, pour in the remaining popcorn and salt into the kettle.
- Close the lid.
- Empty the kettle immediately after popping stops.

Operating Tips
Serving Hints:
- To reduce popcorn breakage, empty the popper immediately after popping stops and carefully fill containers.
- Keep the popper clean, especially the glass and serving area.
- Keep the popped popcorn fresh by consuming it promptly.
- On the last batch, turn off the kettle halfway through the popping cycle to eliminate smoking.
- Ensure proper hygiene and cleanliness for every customer.
For optimal results, ensure the kettle is sufficiently hot before adding ingredients. The pre-measured portions are designed for convenience and consistent quality.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning of your popcorn machine is essential for optimal performance and hygiene. After each use, ensure the kettle is emptied promptly to prevent residue buildup and maintain popcorn quality.
- Kettle Cleaning: Empty the kettle immediately after popping stops to prevent burnt residue. Follow your popcorn machine's specific cleaning instructions for the kettle.
- Glass and Serving Area: Regularly clean the glass panels and the serving area of your popcorn machine to ensure a clean and presentable appearance.
- Storage: Store unused popcorn kits in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
Troubleshooting
While this kit is designed for consistent results, here are some tips for common issues:
- Unpopped Kernels: A small number of unpopped kernels is normal. Ensure your kettle is adequately heated before adding ingredients. If using a stir-crazy popper, some users find that allowing the popcorn to expand and then immediately removing it from heat can minimize unpopped kernels while preventing burning.
- Burnt Popcorn: This usually indicates the popcorn was left in the hot kettle too long after popping. Empty the kettle immediately once popping slows significantly or stops. For the last batch, turning off the kettle halfway through the popping cycle can help prevent burning.
- Insufficient Flavor: Ensure the Flavacol seasoning salt is evenly distributed. If you desire more intense flavor, additional seasoning can be added after popping.
