Popcorn Poppers

USING YOUR STIR CRAZY ® CORN POPPER

Place popper base on flat, dry surface. The heat-resistant base allows for safe

table use.

Preparing Popcorn

There are two models of the Stir Crazy → Corn Popper, one for making up to 6-quarts

and the second for making up to 8 -quarts of popcorn. Listed below are the proper

amounts of oil, corn and butter (or margarine) to use for making various amounts of

popcorn. Do not attempt to make 8 quarts of popcorn in the 6-quart model.

Quarts of Popcorn..........Amount of Oil..........Amount of Corn........Amount of Butter

..........2 ......................1 Tablespoon ................⅓ Cup ................1 Tablespoon

..........4 ......................2 Tablespoons ...............⅔ Cup ................2 Tablespoons

..........6 ......................3 Tablespoons ...............1 Cup ................3 Tablespoons

.......... 8 ......................3 Tablespoons ...............1¼ Cups ............3 Tablespoons

**NOTE: If using a gourmet/premium grade of corn, use less than amount of corn specified above. To yield 2 quarts of popcorn, use ¼ cup corn; for 4 quarts of popcorn, use ½ cup; for 6 quarts of popcorn, use ¾ cup; for 8 quarts of popcorn, use 1 cup. Use the

same amounts of oil and butter specified above. **For 8 -quart model only.

1. Put proper amount of vegetable oil and corn into popper base. Do not add more

corn or oil than recommended. Spread corn evenly over popping surface. Do not

substitute butter, margarine, shortening, or lard for vegetable oil as these will

burn or smoke excessively.

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. Do not place

plastic cap on butter well until after corn is popped. If unbuttered corn is desired,

do not add butter to the butter well and do not place cap onto butter well until

after corn is popped.

3. Insert cord into popper base. Plug cord into a 120 volt

AC outlet only. The stirring rod will rotate as long as the

corn popper is plugged in. Do not shake popper during

popping cycle. In 4 to 6 minutes (depending on quantity

of corn being popped) the popping cycle will be

completed. Unplug cord from wall outlet. Use a hot pad

to remove cord from popper base.

4. If butter is not completely melted in butter well, use a pastry brush to push any

remaining butter through the buttering holes.

5. Snap plastic cap securely onto butter well. This cap must be on cover before

popper is inverted. Make sure handles of popper cover are placed into handles

of popper base. Grasp handles firmly and turn popper upside down, turning

popper away from you. Lift popper base away from cover, being careful of

escaping steam.

6. Popcorn is now ready for serving. Sprinkle popcorn with salt if desired.

Well the popcorn seed pops because of the water in the centre of it. The water evaporates because of the heat forming gas, once this gas takes up too much space inside the seed, it must pop.

The Whirley Pop Popcorn Popper is a stovetop popcorn machine that allows the user to make theater style popcorn in their house. It allows greater control over the cooking of the popcorn then a microwave.

Not unless you want to waste expensive oil. Olive oil has a low smoke point as well, compared to vegetable oil. That means that the oil is going to start smoking before the corn starts popping, which is going to make the popcorn taste terrible. The best oil to use that's easy to find would be peanut oil, or you can use canola oil as well.

There is no exact date, but Kroger did have a sale in November 2012 for a popcorn popper. Its seems as if the sales are at random intervals or months of the year. It would be best to check the weekly Kroger circular in order to see if there is a popcorn popper on sale.

Wire the switch to the hot/black lead.

Some of the advances of having a popcorn popper is that you are able to pop a large amount of popcorn in one go as opposed to small bags at a time. Clean up and storage is the only real disadvantage.

The type of popcorn does not matter for a popcorn popper. Just make sure that it says on the package that it is meant to be popped in a popcorn popper.
