Gay 90 Whiz Bang Popper POPPING CORN This section describes instructions for popping Standard (salted popcorn), and for popping Pappy’s Kettle Corn. Popping Standard (Salted) Popcorn The popper is equipped with a corn, salt, and oil measure. We recommend flavored and colored coconut oil.

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.
2. Every night, mix Gold Medal’s Heat’n Kleen solution (Item No. 2095), 2 tablespoons per gallon of water. It is not necessary to use the entire gallon at once; only use enough to fill the kettle 1/2 inch deep.
