LESSON ONE: HOW TO MAKE GREAT POPCORN

1.  We recommend using the Superior Popcorn Co. Gourmet pre-measured portion packs for PERFECT POPCORN EVERY TIME! No need to preheat the kettle, just cut off the top of portion pack and empty the contents into the kettle.
   ( Note : Run warm water over the portion pack for a few minutes to loosen the oil portion.) If using other suitable ingredients, have pre­measured portions ready in advance. For best results use 3 tblsp. of coconut oil for every cup of popping corn.

2.  Close lid and door.

3.  Switch the Stirrer to ON so that it starts stirring. Switch the kettle heater to ON. You will hear the single in just a few minutes.

4.  Switch the warming tray and spotlight to ON.

5.  Popcorn starts popping out through the lid after about 3 to 4 minutes.

6.  When the popping action stops (no more popping sound from the pot), switch the Stirrer and Pot Heater to the OFF position. Popping is complete. Rotate the handlebar on the pot and pour out all remaining popcorn. Gently shake if necessary.

7.  The pot Heater switch must remain OFF if the unit is not popping. Only the spotlight and warming deck should be left ON, this will keep the popcorn warm, dry, and tasty for a longer period of time.

8.  Serve popcorn with the scoop provided.
   Note : Do not add butter or another liquid flavoring in the main unit popcorn bin. Avoid a big mess! Remove popcorn to a suitable serving bowl or popcorn container before adding this type of flavoring.

9.  Always remove the plug from the power supply before cleaning and if the unit is not being used for a period of time.

LESSON TWO: KEEP YOUR KETTLE CLEAN!

• When the shows are over and everyone’s left the theater it’s time to clean your popper. A clean popper will give you the best-tasting popcorn and many years of service.
• If your kettle becomes caked with layers of burnt oil, we recommend you follow these procedures.
• Unplug the popper from the electrical source. Pour a cup of ammonia into the kettle. Let the kettle sit overnight. For heavily burned kettles repeat the process. Thoroughly rinse and wipe clean. For light regular cleaning use dish
• soap. Only use mild synthetic scouring pads.
• Do Not submerge the kettle in liquid.
• Clean glass with a mild glass cleaner solution. Check the label to make sure the product used are compatible with food preparation equipment.
• Vacuum out small debris left on the warming deck. Empty the “Old Maids” tray. Wipe the deck and tray with a sponge dipped in soapy water. Rinse the sponge in clean water thoroughly. Sponge wipe until clean.
• To avoid attracting pesky varmints, DO NOT leave food particles in your popper.
• To minimize burnt kettles, use only Superior Movie Theater popping products. Superior Popcorn All In One Tri-Packs offers the perfect blend of high-grade popcorn, high temp coconut oil and special butter flavoring.
