the ratio for popping corn with oil is three parts corn to one part oil . So a 6 oz kettle you would use 6 oz of corn seed to 2 oz of oil. Don't use butter to pop, it will burn.
If you have no idea what brand or model number you have and the kettle is heating properly you can figure it out pretty close just by timing the popping cycle. The ratio is 3 parts corn 1 part oil. so a 12 oz kettle would be 12oz of corn (1-1/2 cups ) to 4 oz of oil. A good popping cycle takes about 3 1/2 min from the time you add the corn and oil to dump time. you can make ajustments for the results you get.
You can clip the corner of the popcorn section and shake the salt into a small bowl, then cut just the corn section into another bowl, and hand measure the ingredients.
The Funpop 8 works best with 2oz (1/4 cup) oil, 8oz (1 cup) popcorn, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Old popcorn is the first thing to check, and that you are measuring correctly. 12oz of popcorn is the correct amount in a 3 min popping cycle. always time the 2nd batch.
That model popper has 2 heat elements, and 2 thermo stats that control them. If the first 2 things to check are good, then you dropped a thermo stat or heater and it is operating on 1 heater instead of 2.
You may not be using enough oil. You should have 3 measures of popcorn, to one measure of oil. So if you are using 12 ounces of corn, you should use 4 ounces of oil.
put about 2 tablesppons oil into the popper. Put 2 or 3 kernals into the oil. Turn the popper ON. When the kernals pop,.the oil is hot enough. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup corn and enjoy when its done.
The usual way to use a pop corn popper is to:
1st - add oil
2nd - add popcorn
3rd - add any seasoning (if using the pre-packaged "theater" popcorn mix).
DO NOT add butter into the popper, as it will burn quickly and make for some foul tasting pop corn.
You can always add butter and salt to taste AFTER the pop corn is done popping.
When Popper Has Popped Corn Just Before. 1. Pour the properly measure amount of Oil into the kettle. 2. Wait about 45 seconds - or until the Oil in the kettle starts to smoke slightly. 3. Pour the contents of the properly measured corn cup (kernels plus popcorn salt or Flavacol) into the kettle. 4. Wait about 2 1/2 minutes. If you are using a pan on the stove without an agitator, you must constantly shake gently. When the crackling noise of the popping corn is no longer heard, dump the kettle and empty it completely. 5. Repeat if needed for more popcorn. 6. When you are finished popping, turn off the kettle agitator switch (if you have one) and turn off the Pilot light/ heat switch. 7. After the machine has cooled enough so as not to be dangerously hot, wipe the outside of the kettle with a soft damp cloth. This helps prevent a heavy build-up of the Oil.
TIPS - Bagged floss keeps a day or two, depending on the humidity - Use bags to make and display cotton candy in advance - use cones for immediate sales - Unless you're experienced, it's best to turn off the motor to refill the spinner head - If machine will be used more than 20ft. from power source, be sure to have an adequate extension cord
