VI. PRINCIPLES OF POPCORN MACHINE OPERATION

Theory and Observations of Popcorn Machine Operation

A. The efficient production of popcorn requires the presence of popcorn kernels, heat, and oil.

The purpose of the oil is to distribute the heat throughout kernels evenly and quickly. If the
heat is not distributed evenly and quickly, the kernels may burn instead of pop.

B. In order to pop corn in oil, the kettle, oil and parts near the heating elements are necessarily

and unavoidably heated to temperatures high enough to pop popcorn. The temperature
controlled using a thermostat located inside the kettle to maintain the kettle at an operating
temperature of approximately:

410°F (210°C) for salted corn
375°F (188°C) for sugar corn

Contact with these surfaces will burn and scald you. Do not touch the
kettle, oil or parts in direct vicinity of the heating elements.

C. The kettle is provided with an agitator to assist in the quick and even distribution of heat

throughout the kernels.
