This is key if you don’t want the mechanism that stirs the corn to jam. Secondly, when popping, never use more than a half cup (level, not heaping). If all three pop, add the remainder to the kettle.
After pre-heating the kettle by flipping on the switch for 3 minutes add in the oil and THREE kernels.
LIGHTBULB FOR NOSTALGIA POPCORN MACHINE MANUAL
Try switching to organic, non-GMO and/or another brand and you will be pleased with the results.Ĭommercial popcorn rental units have a technique not mentioned in the user manual that ships with the CPP510. It could be that much of the so-called popcorn kernels sold today are inferior for popping because they are no longer natural. I have no idea if this explains it, but most corn is genetically modified by splicing genes of unrelated plants and animals to create disease resistant, higher yield crops (aka “frankenfood”). So when there are complaints on Internet reviews about too many kernels left unpopped, it could be a bad heating element but more likely stale popcorn kernels are to blame. Who knows how long they sat there while the average customer bypassed them for the microwave variety? Case-in-point: We had some gourmet popcorn left over from a gift set a year or so back and it popped great, whereas the “new” bag of popcorn kernels didn’t pop well at all. Fresh doesn’t necessarily mean the kernels at your grocery store that you purchased last week. The key to using this popper with success is to use FRESH POPCORN KERNELS in combination with the CORRECT MEASUREMENTS. In any event, when paying more than $200, an extended warranty isn’t a bad idea whether it’s a piece of fitness equipment or a novelty appliance. The manufacturer had better hope that nobody calls their state attorney general’s office. There’s only a 90-day warranty and no real support to back it. In this respect, I have to dock it a star. This lends a very unprofessional impression, to say the least.
Their customer service line is either busy or routes to an answering machine. Nevertheless, even with gentle use the wheel cover nut came off after one week and we can’t get Helman Group to return phone calls. Fortunately, though the metal housing is rather thin, we noticed no major dents or flaws in the paint job. The storage shelf built into the stand is covered by a metal door with rather fragile looking hinges, and the plexiglass panel that provides access to the hopper ought to be framed in metal to keep it from flexing flimsily. Unlike many of its more expensive competitors, this model carries a commercial rating, but that doesn’t translate into a bulletproof appliance that your kids can knock around without denting or damaging it (or worse, burning themselves on the hot kettle). Consequently, I would say that it is a good value - but that’s not to say it doesn’t have its flaws. kettle size and up are much more expensive than this model manufactured for the Helman Group (aka Nostalgia Electrics).
