Just put 8oz of hot water into the kettle and turn on its heating element. Let it steam for 10 to 15 minutes and then carefully wipe everything down. No fuss no chemicals. You can also use a steam cleaner if you have one.
Interesting approach, thanks for the tip
Once the steam does its thing, add a few paper towels to the kettle, turn the stirring arms on (whatever they are called) let the paper towels run around in there and clean. Remove paper towels add more water and paper towels for final clean.

I used to work at Knott’s Berry Farm doing Food Service many years ago, a theme park, in Buena Park, CA. Sometimes I would work the popcorn carts and we used lemon juice to clean the popcorn carts.
Good tip, natural cleaning ingredients...I like it.
Thanks for the video! We recently ended up in possession of the exact same machine. Except the one we got was in quite the state of neglect (but hey, can't beat free!). We had to use degreasers and other stronger cleaners. I did opt for the all natural stuff, but still not too worried, as commercial kitchens use degreaser all the time, and it will be a while before we use the machine (we are working towards a move soon). Your video was helpful in seeing which parts we could remove, and will be a nice reference in the future, as we plan on keeping up with the cleaning on it, unlike the previous owners.
You are very welcome. So glad you found the video helpful! I'm sure you will love the popcorn machine as much as we do.
I have the very same machine for my home theater and yes it is very easy to maintenance! Great video!
Thank you! Appreciate the comment!
Can i ask the make and model and where u purchased. Im in ireland.
@@GoogleGoogle-lk3wd Hi, I included a link to the machine in the description, hope that helps! I love Ireland!!
Thank you.
I have a much smaller machine coming tomorrow and I'm glad to know it's not going to be as much of a bear to clean as I thought. Bit of a silly purchase considering I already have a whirley pop which does just about the same thing but popcorn machines are so very charming.
You're welcome! We love ours, nothing beats it. The first time cleaning is the worst then you will get quicker and more efficient at the steps involved. So glad you found the video helpful.
Ok, i just bought one. Used it once so far and it’s great. I wonder how often movie theaters clean theirs. 🤔
You're not supposed to get the black box on the side of the kettle wet. That is where all the electronic heating components are, not at the end of the cord. That is why it says in the manual not to submerge the kettle in water.
Good point John.
On the glass cleaning I use paper towel is alot cleaner no spots water marks. On the metal I use all metal wipes is beautiful! Looks great like brand new again this wipes is not toxic is safe for food cleaning. I LOVE MY POPCORN MACHINE 🍿 😋
Appreciate your tips, thank you
You kitchen is awesome!
How nice of you! Thank you!
It is very good to know. Have not cleaned mine yet, but I have to do it. This video was helpful. Thanks for your effort.
Hi Steve, so glad you found it helpful- thank you for letting me know!
You can use ammonia free window cleaner it's safer is what I use on my olde Midway popcorn machine 🍿 is harmless. I try using dish washing soap and water it's just to blurry. Once a month I lubricated the top spinning motor so that the spinning motor will last alot longer. Because if you don't lubricated the spinning gear will wear out this will saves you money on replacement.
Thanks for the tip
Thankyou, I really needed this :)
You are very welcome! Glad you find it useful :)
I know the video was made sometime ago but my machine doesn't have the plate in the bottom to let unpopped kernels pass through they just stay with the rest of the popcorn so when you scoop your popcorn your also picking up some kernels.. I've thought about making some kind of makeshift wire to let kernels go through. Don't know if it will work. 🤷♀️
That's an idea. I would just make sure the wire is ok to handle heat and doesn't have any chemicals that could interact with the the popcorn.
OMG.......starting at 7:00 mark had me 😂🤣😂🤣. Totally loved the "this is why is wasnt working" rationalization at 8:11. Thanks for the how NOT to clean our popcorn machine tutorial 👍🏆
Glad you enjoyed it. Could have edited that out...but what would be the fun in that ;)
I love your videos! How often do you need to clean the machine?
Thank you Logan! Depending on how often you use the machine, if you use it regularly, I would clean it after a few uses but if you only use it once a month or less, I would clean after each use. Hope that helps!
Awesome. Thank you so much. Now let me make some 🍿.
You are welcome and Enjoy the popcorn
Thank you for this video. Your are amazing.
You are so welcome!
if i get one of these would you suggest cleaning it everyday ? I'm a popcorn junkie lol have it 5-7x a week
I love it too! With everyday use, no - it's not necessary to clean everyday. I think once or twice a week would be fine.
@@HappyHauteHome sweet thanks
Is the link on Amazon you posted the same machine you show in this video? I need the one that the bottom tray lifts up like that. Ours at church is in need of serious replacement and I hate that I cannot clean under it unless I unscrew the whole unit. It’s not fun I’ve done it once for a deeeep cleaning. Thank you so much!!
Hi, I can not say for certain if the bottom piece pops up. The linked one does have the tray that pulls out which is a nice feature but not certain about the bottom piece sorry.
Oh. What is your model? I’m trying to find one
@@MLeeBarrette I believe it is the one linked. I just can't confirm if the bottom plate is attached or not...that feature may have changed.
I love movie theater popcorn!! With extra layered butter! So bad for me, but so good!! I should get one! I am surprised they didn’t make the bowl so you could detach the cord. Geeze with today’s technology too! Lol do you have a movie theater room? Does it butter the popcorn too? I love that surround around your stove!! I think I already said it. Lol! But oh is it dreamy!!
Hi Kelly! We love theater popcorn too...you said it 'so bad but so good'! It's fairly easy to clean, but you're right if the cord detached that would make it easier. We love hanging out with the family watching a movie in the theater...such a fun thing to do! But all of us deciding on what movie to watch is another story! 🤣
@@HappyHauteHome I bet deciding on which film, is the hard part!! 😂
thank you for info
You are very welcome!
Thank you so much for this video. Your Awesome.
So glad you are finding it helpful.
Is it really the cord that's important to not get wet or is it the motorized mechanism hanging on the side of the bowl
I think both are important to keep dry but good point.
Do the inner and outer pots come apart.???
The only piece that can be disconnected is the kettle.
Electrician speaking here. You can get the cord wet (not recomemded) , but make sure to make the cord completely dry specialy the adapter end. If it is wet there can be a short and the machine will be damaged.
Thanks for the tip
As a electrician would you know why the machine won't turn off? I have to unplug it. Bad switch? Loose?.. thx

How can I remove the grease from the glass?
I use dishwashing soap, one with a degreaser, and water. Then use a sponge and if the grease remains, use a soft brush to remove grease.
Anyone know the best popcorn maker to buy?? Im thinking about one for an office.
I've been very please with our Waring Pro, gets the job done and looks nice doing it ;)
Do you always clean it that thoroughly after every use?
Yes I do...but not right away. Sometimes it may sit for weeks until I get to it...😏
You do not need to clean it every time....we use ours a couple times a week...clean it only when the glass starts getting a lot of oil on it. We do use a shop vac to suck out the kernels pretty often, and do wipe out the inside with paper towels, but u don't need to use soap/water every time. I would say like a few times a year break it down for a good cleaning.
Boiling water in the kettle and wiping down all interior surfaces will prevent buildup of grease; soap or chemicals not needed. Although not required, it is best practice. Don't immerse or wash the kettle in running water; the electrical parts between the inside and outside are NOT waterproof, and neither is the seal. You can take it apart pretty easily and see for yourself. Nooks and crannies get a buildup of grease and will need more effort to clean.
They seriously need to resizing that machine to make it easier to disassemble/assemble. Wetting the outside of that plug area looks dangerous to me. I was just about to buy the smaller version, the 2.5 qt, but I don’t know. Thanks for the video.
Yea not sure if the smaller version has a different plug plug or not. So far I haven't had any problems with the plug but you should definitely do what you are most comfortable with. You are very welcome!
Don't understand why you would throw away popped and un popped popcorn away. You could mix the popped popcorn with fresh and re pop those un popped kernels. Remember: Waste not want not.
I guess you could but risk burning the batch and we all know what burnt popcorn tastes like!
I guess when you grow up with two parents that suffered through the great depression you have it hammered into that you don't waste anything.@@HappyHauteHome
You can put the kettle in the dishwasher. Oxiclean can make the metal parts super shiny quickly
I wouldn't recommend that since it has a cord attached to it.
@@HappyHauteHome it can just wrap around the handle or the gear shaft. It holds just fine.
Um.....yea...not buying it @@XenoTravis
@@HappyHauteHomelol I have been putting them in the dishwasher for many years and never had an issue with the chord getting damaged. I do wait a bit for it to dry all the way before plugging it in.
Sounds like an accident waiting to happen but glad you never got hurt@@XenoTravis
You drenched the power cord in water while washing off the oil essence that gives later popcorn servings that extra added favor...and don't get me started on how you clean glass.
I won't 🙄
NEVER NEVER NEVER! USE SOAP AND WATER TO CLEAN THE KETTLE. JUST WIPE WITH A PAPER TOWEL. The kettle is supposed to be seasoned. For best flavor and results do not wash with soap and water.
Um....maybe for additional flavor you don't recommend using soap and water but for cleanliness you definitely should! I stand behind my original statement of using soap and water to clean the machine.....all.....day.....long.....period!
@@HappyHauteHome mine was so bad i had to use an sos pad to scrub it but yes you do need soap and water to clean it. It can be reseasoned lol
But food grade cleaning spray. Way easier to clean.
That is an option as well.
Did a lot of things wrong lady.
Clearly you are unaware that you can twist off the turning thing off so you can remove the kettle cover(the little thing) for cleaning also.
And put the pin first!! Not the kettle(cannister) lever lock.
Each machine has its own nuances, glad you found what works for you.
You couldn’t have cleaned out 95% of the popcorn first?! And TURN THE WATER OFF!! It shouldn’t take 3 gallons of water to clean a 1qt pot!! WTF??
Noted. Hope the day gets better for you Amy.
Such a waste I would have ate that popcorn still!!!!
It was still pretty good after a few days!
Awh I hope you didn't throw all that popcorn into the garbage! What a waste that would be.
It was so long ago, I don't actually remember but most likely I ate a lot of it ;)
Yeah not easy to clean
At first it seems difficult but the more you do it, the easier and quicker it gets.
you are extremely beautiful
Thank you
