Assembling Your STOVE-TOP Popper, Heat The Stove

ASSEMBLING YOUR STOVE-TOP POPPER

Before using your stove-top popper and after each use, wash all parts in warm, soapy water, rinse

thoroughly and dry. To prolong the life of your stove-top popper, do not wash parts in the dishwasher.

1.Hold the lid by the main handle and place the lid peg in the hole of the popper pan.

2.Line up the clamp under the main handle between the two dimples on the pan rim.

3.Press down on the main handle until the lid locks in place.

4.Attach the lid clamp to the pan by pressing down on the wood lid knob.

USING YOUR STOVE-TOP POPPER

Heat The Stove:

•For an electric range, set the burner to medium high.

•For a gas range, set the burner to medium.

•For flat-top ranges, set the burner to medium low.

Note: Because stove top heat output varies, adjust the temperature as needed so popping is completed about three minutes after the popcorn is added to the pan. Flat-top ranges cook hotter than standard ranges, pay close attention to the popping. Like most pans, the Stove-Top popper will rock when used on a flat-top range.

Popping Popcorn:

Tip: Use fresh popcorn. Old popcorn loses its moisture and won’t pop well.

1.Place 1-3 tablespoons of oil and ½ cup popcorn in the popper and place on the stove top. Note: Don’t use butter, margarine, shortening or lard in place of oil, as these will burn or smoke excessively.

2.Slowly and continuously, turn the handle.

3.The popping cycle will be complete in approximately three minutes. When you no longer hear vigorous popping and stirring becomes difficult, remove from heat. Carefully empty the popcorn into a serving bowl from the left side lid. Use a hot pad if you find it necessary to open the lid when emptying.
