    Mid-Sized Poppers Model Series: 2131, 2147, 2152, 2452 Popping Corn This section describes instructions for popping Standard (salted popcorn). Amount of Popcorn and Oil Your new popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored coconut oil. Popcorn popped in coconut oil stays fresh longer and does not leave black deposits in your kettle like other oils. Use only top quality, fresh popcorn from reputable suppliers. Ingredient amounts for popping Standard Popcorn: Kettle Size Popcorn Charge Oil Charge Flavacol (Salt) 8 oz. 8 oz. (237 ml) 1/3 cup (79 ml) 3/4 Tblsp. (10cc) For best results use Mega‐Pop 8 oz. premeasured pouches (Item# 2838). ® Popping Standard (Salted) Popcorn 1. Turn the Lights/Warmer, Kettle Heat and Kettle Motor Switches ON. 2. To determine when the kettle is ready to pop corn (about 4 minutes), test pop three kernels of corn and one ounce (30 ml) of popping oil. When the kernels pop, the kettle is ready for use.
