What type of oil should I use?
Any cooking oil will work; however, most users prefer canola, peanut, coconut
or olive oil.
What kind of popping corn should I use?
Any popping corn will work but, for best results, use a gourmet popping corn.
It can be any kind or brand, as long as it’s fresh.
How much oil and popping corn should I use?
Always use at least one teaspoon of oil. Using no oil will damage your pan.
Your best bet is to refer to the instruction section. However, amounts can vary
depending on the hybrid, quality and brand of your popping corn, so you might
have to make adjustments accordingly.
Should I put seasonings in my popper with the popping corn and oil?
No, not unless it is a special salt-based or sugar-based product (such as the
seasonings involved in making kettle corn). Otherwise, you will likely burn or
toughen up your popcorn. It’s best to add flavor seasonings after the popcorn
is in a bowl and ready to serve.
How should I heat the pan?
Your popper will perform on any gas, electric or induction kitchen stovetop.
Set your burner on medium to medium high. However, heat settings will vary,
so you might have to adjust to find your optimum setting. The goal is a
2 - 3-minute popping time.
How long and how fast should I stir the crank?
Stir continuously all the way from start to finish. Your 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 more steady pace through the popping process.
Which way should I turn the crank?
The stir wire was designed for a clockwise crank motion.
How do I remove the lid?
Your lid assembly should be affixed securely by two clips—one under the
handle and the other directly across from the handle. Make sure your popper
is cool before trying to remove the lid. Hold the pan with one hand. Then, with
the other hand, hold the wooden handle and pull the clip up with your index
finger (almost like a trigger). Gently lift the lid until the clasp is free. “Pull the
trigger” on the other side, which will release the clip holding the lid flap and lift
the entire assembly.
How do I clean my popper?
If you use your popper every week, washing is not necessary. Just wipe out
with a paper towel. If used less often, hand wash in warm soapy water with a
grease-cutting detergent. Do NOT place in a dishwasher. Dry thoroughly.
How do I clean my popper 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 popping or the taste.
What if I have more questions?
