2. Place cover on popper base making sure handles of cover fit into handles of
popper base. If buttered corn is desired, divide recommended amount of
refrigerated butter into 6 equal-sized pats and place in a single layer over butter
holes in butter well. (If unrefrigerated butter is used, add to butter well after the
first kernel of corn pops.) Popcorn will be buttered as it pops. If unbuttered corn is
desired, do not add butter to the butter well. Do not place butter cap onto
butter well until after corn is popped.

•
Always use fresh popcorn. Dried out, stale, or old popcorn pops poorly as it has
lost its moisture content and may scorch.
•
Store popcorn in airtight containers made of glass or plastic to avoid moisture loss
in the kernels. Be sure that the container is stored in a cool place, do not store in
the refrigerator. Most refrigerators contain little moisture and can dry out kernels,
resulting in poor popping.

This popcorn popper can accommodate both regular and premium popcorns.
Premium and gourmet popcorns do not yield results as good as regular popcorn. If
premium or gourmet popcorn is used, you may notice an increase in the number
of unpopped kernels.

If popcorn does not pop, it is usually the result of environmental factors such as
the freshness and moisture content of the popcorn, or variances by popcorn type.
Unpopped kernels do not necessarily indicate a defect in the appliance.

•
Instead of popping with vegetable oil, try one of these healthy choices, extra virgin
olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, corn oil, peanut oil, or sunflower oil. Specialty oils
may also be used, but some experimentation may be necessary to find the best
popping results and flavor you prefer. Do not use more than 3 tablespoons of
any oil.

•
Add flavor to your oil while popping - add a garlic clove or minced garlic, onion
slices, or jalapeño peppers.
•
When done popping, start layering flavors. We find a light misting of olive oil,
(many great infused olive oils are also available) lemon or lime juice, balsamic
vinegar, or even water will help any additional seasonings adhere to the corn.
