It's a little difficult to clean. My best results for cleaning the stainless parts of the kettle is to use ammonia. Be sure to be in an open area though as it's quite pungent.
Its great and we still use ours on regularly with no issues. I was worried when I read reviews of kettles that stopped heating and such, before buying ours. We've been very fortunate and had no issues. The hardest thing we've had to deal with is the removal of the bottom pan for a deep cleaning. As sometimes the salt and seasonings and corn husks can eventually make their way to other places than the "old maid" drawer/catcher. But its not too difficult other than sharp edges, take you time if you need to remove the bottom pan and you should have no issues.
hi -i bought this same popper and the popcorn comes out tough and gooey and sticky? can you please help me with figuring out how to make it tender and crispy or is it an issue with the machine's design? thanks so much!
Old corn, too much oil? I use the sam's club popping corn that comes in 50lb bags, and coconut oil. Old corn fails to pop fluffy for me. Try reducing your oil and ensure that the warmer is on and warm before running your batch.
thank you so much! i actually went through 2 different brand units and both units produced same results. i use the mega pop popcorn kit with remeasured everything... i made it on the stovetop - and it was perfect... i really, really wanted for this to work... thank you for your help!
I used Paragon Coconut Popcorn Popping Oil and Gold Medal Products 2045 Flavacol Seasoning Popcorn Salt. Both are available on amazon. Adding the coconut oil and the seasoned salt to the popcorn is essential if you want theater style popcorn. It is what we used when I worked in the concessions of a movie theater when i was a kid.
Thanks for a great answer. I`ve been looking for many youtube videos to watch how to make the popcorn yellow. The answer you gave me is the best answer I`ve been heard. Thanks. Could you make a video where u showing how to adding the coconut oil and the seasoning? You take the oil first then the salt?
Its easy, I add the oil to the kettle, and the salt to the corn. Let the kettle warm up the oil, then add the salt and corn at the same time to the kettle. I use about 1/2 to 3/4 tsp pf the seasoned salt per 1-1.5 cups of corn. You'll have to play with the ratio to figure out what works best for your salty taste preferences.
beautiful family.. your kitchen is so lovely also... thanks for sharing
That fan is a great idea. Those things release a lot of water, and that seems to keep the sides of the machine fog free.
Your daughters right, You should keep the door closed on the popper when it's doing it's job, It's there for safety reasons, Not for looks.
No, steam makes the popcorn tough. The flaps keep the corn inside.
Looks tasty! Thanks much for sharing, good job!
Good thing he didn't find anything wrong with the machine and had to return it.
When it first popped, why didn't he remove that popped kernel ?
good video thanks for sharing
Did you warm up the kettle fist or dump all the ingredients then you turn it on. Please let me know. Thanks for the video
Heat it first I have one to
Does this have an exhaust fan?
yes it does
I see you have the caramel glaze flavoring sitting there, how hard is it to clean the machine after using it?
It's a little difficult to clean. My best results for cleaning the stainless parts of the kettle is to use ammonia. Be sure to be in an open area though as it's quite pungent.
Is the kettle the only thing to get sticky with the caramel glaze? How does the glass walls and bottom of the cabinet end up after a few batches ?
Only the kettle is difficult to clean. The metal perforated bottom and glass walls wipe down easily with lightly soaped moist rag.
Looks like it's been a few years. How is it holding up?

Open your glass doors when popping, you may be steaming your popcorn. That makes it tough.
