10. It seems when I make multiple batches of popcorn, each batch takes longer to pop. Why?
As the cavity of any 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.
11. 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 or they can be washed in warm, sudsy water and rinsed and dried thoroughly. Do not
immerse the PowerBase
concentrator in water or other liquids. Wipe the PowerBase
concentrator is immersed accidentally, you will need to place the base in an upright position and allow it to drain before use.
If popping corn with oil and salt, wipe the PowerCup
not scrub the concentrator with abrasives or soak in water.
Store concentrator inside of popping bowl and use for your next batch of popcorn.
