Popcorn machines are a fun way to make your own popcorn at home. They’re easy to use, and you can control the level of popcorn butter and salt. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using a popcorn machine.
1. Preheat the machine
Most machines have a preheat setting. Ensuring your popcorn is cooked evenly will result in better-tasting popcorn.
2. Add popcorn kernels
Add the desired amount of kernels to the popping chamber.
3. Add oil
Some machines require you to add oil to the chamber before adding the kernels. Check your machine’s instructions to see if this is necessary.
4. Start the machine
Once the machine is preheated, start it up and let the kernels do their thing.
5. Shake the machine
Some machines have a shaking mechanism that will help to evenly distribute the kernels and oil. If your machine has this feature, use it during the popping process.
6. Stop the machine
Once the popping has slowed down, stop the machine and open the door.
7. Pour into a bowl
Be careful of the hot steam as you pour the popcorn into a bowl. Season to taste and enjoy!
