Popping Pappy’s Kettle Corn (Timer included with Unit)
Items needed: Popcorn, oil, Pappy’s Kettle Corn Mix (Item No. 2545CT, 1/2 gallon container), and
Diamond Crystal Popcorn Salt (Item No. 2070CT, 12 oz. container). DO NOT use popcorn seasoning salt
when popping Pappy’s Kettle Corn.
Gold Medal recommends white coconut oil for popping Pappy’s Kettle Corn (colored oil can change the
popcorn color). Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black deposits in the
kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers.
Ingredient amounts for popping Pappy’s Kettle Corn:
12 oz. 12 oz. 5 oz. 7-8 oz.
14 oz. 14 oz. 6 oz. 8-9 oz.
1. Turn the Lights/Warmer, Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor Switches ON.
2. To determine when kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three kernels of
corn and one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When kernels pop, kettle is ready for use.
3. Lift kettle lid and pour in popcorn and oil (use amounts specified above), adjust amounts as
needed for desired taste. DO NOT add Salt (salt will be added after popping). Close lid.
4. Start timer pre-set for 30-45 seconds (see Countdown Timer Instructions).
5. When timer goes OFF, add Pappy’s Mix to kettle (use amount specified above). If popping
has just started, close the right door of popper cabinet and carefully/quickly add Pappy’s mix
through the left door. Close kettle lid, then re-open the right door.
Caution: Due to the potential of getting hit with hot popcorn seeds, we recommend using eye
protection for this step.
6. When the corn has nearly finished popping, gently dump the popcorn.
7. Immediately shake on Diamond Crystal Salt and mix thoroughly.
8. On the final kettle of corn, turn the Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as the lids are forced open by
the popping corn. This procedure saves electricity, since the kettle has plenty of heat, and
helps eliminate smoke/odor from any oil residue that remains after popping has stopped.
9. When finished popping, make sure KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches are turned
OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
10. Clean kettle when finished popping kettle corn, and prior to popping standard popcorn.
