Document: * When making corn preheat for 4 mins then add ingredients. Make sure to turn on rotator immediately. Listen to the corn pop, when the popping starts to slow down turn off heater. When it is barely popping turn off rotator and immediately dump kettle. We did not have any burned corn following these simple instructions.I hope all buyers find this helpful, enjoy the popcorn ! !Gadget
If you are looking for an accessory for your basement or theater room this is the ticket as it is well made with glass and stainless steel. The movie theater popcorn taste you are seeking can only be achieved with the right oil which I later ordered from Amazon. The first couple of times I used this machine popcorn was lousy and you better be standing right there to dump the bucket as precision timing is key to not burning.
Great Northern also offers prepackaged kernels and oil, which made it really easy for our volunteers to operate. The machine is easy to clean, and we've never had burned kernels. The oil takes maybe 3-4 minutes to heat up, so I'd say you have fresh popped popcorn in 5-6 minutes.The only thing that I wish was a little better was the noise factor. The machine itself IS whisper-quiet - you really can't hear it operating much at all.
Saw this popcorn machine and just had to have it. Arrived ahead of schedule and all the pieces were there and in great condition. Took about 30 minutes to assemble. Cleaned everything and then made a batch of popcorn ... Just like you get at the theatre. Highly recommended.
If you are a popcorn lover who pops their own 3-5 times a week then this machine is a must, it is well constructed, easy to use and maintain, the only throw back is the popcorn trail I leave on the floor from constantly grabbing handfuls!P.S. Use virgin coconut oil for the best popcorn ever
This popcorn machine is just what the doctor ordered. Great popcorn, easy to make, and fun to eat.The machine arrived just days after my ordering it. There was some assembly required and the directions were clear. After a good scrub down the popping began. The popper bowl has capacity for 8 oz. but you can use smaller packages if you want.Clean-up is not too bad either.
We have had our Paducah 8 Ounce Antique Popcorn Machine and Cart for about 7 months now and we use it weekly, if not more. It is easy to use and makes wonderful popcorn. Fresh popped popcorn from a machine is sooooo much better than that microwaved stuff. Every batch of popcorn that we have made has turned out wonderfully and the machine does it all. We just turn it on and pour in the oil and popcorn and it does all of the work.
I got this for my fiance for Christmas as he is a popcorn lover! Works perfect, never have had any issues with it. Popcorn is easy to find. Only thing that could be improved is the warmer where you put the popcorn and butter can be a little challenging to use due to the arm that connects to the side of the warmer to the top of the machine. If you have large hands it can make it hard to get everything in.
My family loves the popcorn machine one movie night and husband loves that he can go in there and make him a bowl of popcorn that I left in there from a few days ago and still tastes great! I, of course, followed the recipes that most of the feedback gave that called for coconut oil, flavacol seasoning salt and the butter topping (I believe I bought Wabash Farms). As close to the movie theaters you can probably get at home! !
In the concession stand I use the 8-ounce packages of corn. Most of the other machines I researched would not hold that much corn, so I can make lots more popcorn in each batch with this equipment. The popper is sturdy, easy to clean and easy to maintain. Only problem is that I have to bring the machine home after every event because my family is hooked on the popcorn and will not eat any other kind.
Answer: We preheat the oil in the machine as per machine and it works great
