Popping Sweet Popcorn
Gold Medal recommends white coconut oil for popping Glaze Pop (colored oil can change the
popcorn color). Glaze Pop cooks directly in the kettle.
DO NOT
use popcorn seasoning salt when
popping Glaze Pop.
Raw Popcorn Charge:
Use corn measure provided (e.g: for 32 oz. Kettle, use 32 oz. corn)
(for Flexi-Pop use the reduced batch size)
Recommended Oil Volume:
Oil volume is approx. 30% of corn amount (e.g: for 32 oz. corn, use 9.6 oz. oil)
Glaze Pop/Sugar Amount:
Use amount equal to 1/2 the quantity of corn (e.g: for 32 oz. corn, use
16 oz. Glaze Pop)
Note:
When using coconut oil, be sure the oil is liquid. As a check, dispense oil into a
measuring cup first, then use that oil for the first popping cycle.
1.
Turn all switches ON; set Flexi-Pop to desired batch size; set Salt/Sweet Switch to Sweet.
2.
When kettle is ready (about 5-8 minutes), the Load/Dump Light and Beeper (if
enabled) will turn ON.
3.
Lift kettle lid and pour in pre-measured amount of corn.
4.
Press the “Red” Oil Dispense PB Switch to add oil (
light and beeper will turn OFF in
approx. 20 seconds).
5.
Add pre-measured amount of Glaze Pop or Sugar (when using sugar, we recommend
using Compound “S” to help keep kettle clean); close lid.
Caution:
Do not open kettle lid to add sugar if popping has started as injury may result.
6.
When the light and beeper come on again, gently dump the kettle.
Note:
The signal “To Dump” was factory set based on Gold Medal popcorn and oil. If, after
3 consecutive batches, the signal occurs before or after popping has stopped, then
the signal timing can be adjusted by a qualified service person (reference
Electronic Temperature Control section).
Popping Tip:
On final batch, turn Kettle Heat Switch OFF just as lids are forced open by
the popping corn (kettle has plenty of heat to finish popping). This helps eliminate
smoke/odor from any oil residue remaining in kettle. With the Heat Switch OFF,
the light and beeper will not activate for the last batch.
7.
When finished popping, turn KETTLE HEAT and KETTLE MOTOR switches OFF.
NEVER LEAVE THE HEAT ON WHEN YOU ARE NOT POPPING CORN!
8.
Clean kettle when finished popping Glaze Pop or sugar corn, and prior to switching to
salted popcorn.
