TIPS AND HINTS
POPCORN AMOUNTS
Kernels
Popped
Popcorn
¼ cup
(50 ml)
Approximately 7 cups
(1.75 L) popped popcorn
1
3 cup
(75 ml)
Approximately 10 cups
(2.36 L) popped popcorn
½ cup
(125ml)
Approximately 15 cups
(3.55 L) popped popcorn
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.
NOTE: DO NOT use more than
1
3 cup (75 ml)
of unpopped kernels when using premium popcorn.
The avour possibilities for popcorn are endless. Just add melted butter and your favourite seasonings to a bowl of popcorn.
With toppings added, popped popcorn will become much crisper and the avours become more intense if it is heated with top­pings in a 300°F (150°C) 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 ver y 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.
SEASONING SUGGESTIONS
Cheese Taco seasoning Chili powders Hot sauce Packaged sauces (e.g., Alfredo) Soy sauce Italian seasoning and herbs
Butter/Seasoning Ratios for Popcorn
2 tablespoons (30 ml) melted butter for ¼ cup (50 ml) unpopped kernels and a minimum of 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of seasoning.
3 tablespoons (45 ml) melted butter for
1
3 cup
(75 ml) unpopped kernels and a minimum of 2 teaspoons (10 ml) of seasoning.
4 tablespoons (60 ml) melted butter for ½ cup (125 ml) unpopped kernels and a minimum of 2½ teaspoons (13 ml) 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 avour, or grapeseed oil, which imparts no avour at all to popcorn.

Caramel Popcorn
This caramel corn has a buttery toffee avour. See our directions below to turn this into yummy popcorn balls.
Makes about ten cups (2.36 L)
3 tablespoons (45 ml) unsalted butter ¹/
3
cup (75 ml) packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) light corn syrup 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) salt ¼ teaspoon (1 ml) baking soda 2 teaspoons (20 ml) vegetable oil ¹/
3
cup (75 ml) popping kernels
1. Put the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, water and salt into a heavy-bottomed small saucepan. Set over medium-high heat and bring mixture to a boil.
2. While the caramel mixture is heating, remove the chute from the popcorn maker and put the kernels into the popping chamber. Replace the chute and insert butter warming cup.
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 (115°C) and 260°F(126°C), not exceeding 260°F(126°C). 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 (250 ml) 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.
