TIPS AND HINTS
POPCORN AMOUNTS
Kernels
¼ cup
1
⁄3 cup
½ cup
NOTE: Premium popcorn has larger
kernels, resulting in a higher yield of popped
corn. If using premium popcorn, the yield may
sometimes be greater than stated above.
The avor possibilities for popcorn are endless. Just add melted butter and your favorite
seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will
become much crisper and the avors become
more intense if it is heated with toppings in a
300°F oven for about 15 to 20 minutes before
serving. For best results, heat it on a baking
sheet lined with foil and coated with nonstick
cooking spray.
NOTE: It is very important to use fresh
popcorn. If your popcorn is old, the kernels
will not fully pop and/or it may take longer
for them to pop.

Butter/Seasoning Ratios for Popcorn
2 tablespoons melted butter for ¼ cup
unpopped kernels and a minimum of
1 teaspoon of seasoning.
3 tablespoons melted butter for
1
⁄3 cup
unpopped kernels and a minimum of
2 teaspoons of seasoning.
4 tablespoons melted butter for ½ cup
unpopped kernels and a minimum of
2½ teaspoons to a tablespoon of seasoning.
The amount of seasoning depends on the
intensity of the ingredients you are using –
it is important to let your taste be your guide.
Note: Use olive oil for a little richer avor, or
grapeseed oil, which imparts no avor at all
to popcorn.

Caramel Popcorn
This caramel corn has a buttery toffee avor. See our
directions below to turn this into yummy popcorn balls.
Makes about ten cups
3. Watch the caramel mixture on the stove closely.
Using a candy thermometer, monitor the
temperature of the caramel. It should be between
240°F and 260°F, not exceeding 260°F. Once it is
boiling, and turning golden brown (about 6 to 8
minutes) it should start to thicken slightly. Turn the
popcorn maker on to begin popping. Leave the
caramel on warm until popcorn is popped.
4. Once corn has popped, take the saucepan off of
the heat and whisk in the baking soda.
5. Once the last kernel has popped, turn the unit off.
Drizzle the caramel sauce on top of the popped
corn and mix to fully coat. Serve immediately.
6. This popcorn recipe also makes delicious
popcorn balls. To do so, line a tray or pan with
aluminum foil and lightly coat the foil and a one
cup measure with nonstick cooking spray. Rub a
little spray on your hands as well. Using the oiled
measuring cup, scoop out 1-cup of the caramel
corn at a time and form into balls. Put onto the
oiled foil. Repeat with remaining popcorn – yield
should be about 8 to 10 popcorn balls. If not
serving immediately, wrap in waxed paper.
