Presto PowerPop Instructions page 3

3. How many batches of popcorn should I be able to pop with each PowerCup
The number of uses will vary from microwave to microwave. When popping with oil, you
should be able to make up to 8 batches with each concentrator. When popping without oil,
you should be able to make up to 15 batches with each concentrator.
4. After the initial use, the PowerCup
continue to use it?
Yes. The concentrator does discolor after use and will become more discolored the more you
use it. The discoloration is normal and does not affect popping. However, if the top layer of
the concentrator is cracked or torn, you should replace the concentrator.
5. What can I do to maximize the number of uses I get out of each PowerCup
when popping with oil?
After each use, wipe concentrator with a damp cloth to remove salt and oil residue. Do not soak
concentrator in water or use abrasives to clean it. Always remove concentrator from popping
bowl before coating popcorn with toppings, such as caramel sauce.
6. How will I know when my PowerCup
If you notice you are getting more unpopped kernels than usual, it is time to replace the con-
centrator. IMPORTANT: Always replace the concentrator immediately if the top layer is
torn or cracked.
7. The PowerPop popper fits in my microwave oven only when I remove the glass tray or

turntable. Is it safe to use the microwave without the tray or turntable?
No. If your microwave oven comes with a glass tray or turntable, it should never be operated
without the tray or turntable in place. Use without the tray or turntable results in short Power-
Cup concentrator life. It will also damage the popper and could destroy your microwave oven.

8. It seems when I make multiple batches of popcorn, each batch takes longer to pop. Why?
As the microwave oven gets hotter, the oven becomes less efficient. Thus, if you are making
multiple batches of corn, you might wish to allow the microwave to cool slightly between
batches.
9. Although I am getting great popping performance, sometimes the corn is scorched. What
is causing this?
a. You may be microwaving the corn for too long. Remember that when popping slows to
2 to 3 seconds between pops, the popper should be removed from the microwave oven.
b. You are using seasonings for flavored corn which burn during popping. For future batches,
sprinkle those seasonings on after the corn has popped. If the seasonings are not in fine
powder form, they may also burn.
Care, Cleaning, and Storage
The popping bowl and cover are dishwasher safe (top rack only), or they can be washed in
warm, sudsy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. If popping corn with oil and salt, wipe
the PowerCup concentrator with a damp cloth after each use to remove oil and salt residue.
