HELPFUL TIPS
NEVER leave the unit unattended while operating.
Smoking
If your KETTLE CORN MAKER begins to smoke during cooking, it may be due
to grease build up. In order to reduce smoking, make sure that you clean
the nonstick surface of the Lower Popping Chamber between uses.
Popcorn
For best results, use an all natural soft-shelled popping corn. Organic
popping corn is not recommended for use in your KETTLE CORN MAKER
as it has a harder husk and will result in more unpopped kernels.
Burning
To prevent kettle corn from burning, add oil first and allow to preheat for 2-3 minutes;
then add kernels. Add sugar and salt just before popping begins. Turn KETTLE CORN
MAKER to " || " Stir after one minute of popping. This will turn the heating element off.
The KETTLE CORN MAKER will continue to stir the kettle corn as it finishes popping.
Caramel Corn
You may substitute brown sugar for granulated sugar to
make caramel corn in your KETTLE CORN MAKER.
