FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
What type of oil should I use when popping popcorn?
Any cooking oil will work; however, most users prefer coconut, canola, peanut
or olive oil.
What kind of popping corn should I use?
Any popping corn will work, but for best results use a fresh, gourmet popping corn.
Should I put seasonings in my Sweet & Easy while making popcorn?
No, unless it is a special salt-based or sugar-based product. Otherwise, you
will likely burn or toughen your popcorn. It’s best to add seasonings after the
popcorn is in a bowl.
How should I heat the pan?
Your Sweet & Easy will perform well on any gas, electric and most induction
cook tops. Set your burner for medium to medium-high. However, heat settings
may vary, so you might have to adjust to find your optimum setting. The goal
when making popcorn is a 3-4 minute popping time.
How long and how fast should I stir the handle?
Stir continuously all the way from start to finish. Your stirring speed is not as
important, but most users find it best to begin slowly during the heating process
and then quicken a bit to a steadier pace through the popping process.
Which way should I turn the handle?
The stir wire was designed for a clockwise crank motion; however, you may
find when making the thicker recipes that it works best to stir in both directions
to get the ingredients thoroughly mixed.
How do I clean my Sweet & Easy?
If you use your Sweet & Easy every week for popping popcorn, washing is not
necessary. Just wipe out with a paper towel. If you are making a thicker gooier
recipe, use this easy cleaning tip: immediately after finishing the recipe in the
Sweet & Easy, place in sink, fill with warm, soapy water and let soak. It will
clean up in a snap. Do not place in a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
How do I clean my Sweet & Easy if it has burn marks on the bottom?
Soak in hot, soapy water. If needed, use baking soda and a scouring pad,
but nothing stronger. If you are unable to remove all of the burn marks, don’t
worry. They will not affect your cooking or the taste of the popcorn mixtures.
How do I take my lid off of my Sweet & Easy?
Lid Removal: Your lid assembly should be affixed securely by 3 clips —
one above the handle, the second directly across from the handle and the third
located on the lid half. Make sure your popper is cool before trying to remove
the lid. First release the small metal clip holding down the lid half. Then, while
holding the black handle with one hand, use the other hand to pull the metal
