IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Read before use
It is very important to use fresh kernels that have not dried
out and to store them in an airtight container to maintain their
moisture. Popcorn kernels do not last indefinitely.
Do not refrigerate kernels as this can dry them out. Do not
use kernels past the manufacturer’s expiration date.
Dried out kernels can cause damage to your microwave
and in extreme cases, even cause fires. Based on our kitchen
tested time of 2
1
/
2
minutes (average for most microwaves),
popping should begin in 60-90 seconds. Understand your
microwave by running a few tests with fresh kernels to
establish the amount of time your microwave needs to pop
the kernels optimally. Pay attention to the amount of time it
takes for kernels to begin to pop. Use this as a guideline for
future uses to avoid burning. If kernels have not started to
pop within 90 seconds STOP THE OVEN, discard the kernels
and obtain new, fresh kernels.
HOW MICROWAVES WORK
Microwave ovens heat by producing electromagnetic
waves that cause water molecules in food to vibrate. This
vibration produces heat. Microwaves do not “see” glass or
plastic. Never place the popper in the microwave oven
empty. Damage to your oven can occur.
SAFETY & CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Always use an oven mitt.
Wash product thoroughly before first use.
After heating, lid will be hot. Escaping steam from lid can
cause burns. When removing the lid use a pot holder or
an oven mitt.
Allow popper and lid to cool between batches.
Clean popper and lid between batches.
Let glass cool before hand washing or placing in
the dishwasher.
Easy to clean, popper and lid are both dishwasher safe.
Keep out of reach of children.
For microwave use only. Not for use on stovetop or any
other source of heat.
NEVER MICROWAVE AN EMPTY POPCORN POPPER.
Damage to your oven may result.

TIPS to getting your popcorn just right:
Not yielding perfect popcorn? Although our
instructions are kitchen tested, microwave ovens
can greatly vary.
1. Always use fresh popcorn kernels. Store your popcorn in an
airtight container. Refrigeration is not recommended.
2. Not all microwaves are created equal. Microwaves will vary in
wattage, and though many microwaves will pop your kernels
just fine, there’s always the few that want to be stubborn. If
your precious popcorn is getting burnt when adding butter
prior to popping, try adding the butter after all those kernels
have transformed into beautiful puffed popcorn. Use a small,
microwave-safe bowl to melt the butter and then use an oven
mitt to pour it over your popcorn.
3. Stopping and starting your microwave during the cooking
cycle is not recommended. Once you stop the microwave, the
steam buildup in the center of the kernel, which causes the
popcorn to pop, will cool off and never reach the desired
temperature to re-pop. If you restart the microwave you also
risk burning the already popped popcorn. Using the sound test
is the best way to determine if your popcorn is done. If there
are more than two full seconds between pops, it’s time to stop.

Not all microwaves work exactly the same, so play with the
timing until you get it just right. Try setting the microwave
between 2:30-3:00 minutes and listen to the pops. It may
take a while for things to get poppin’. Be patient.
Experiment a little - your microwave may cook the popcorn
faster or slower than the 2:30-3:00 average! When the
popping slows down to about 2 seconds apart, stop the
microwave to prevent burning. Do not stop the microwave and
start it again during the same batch.
