How to use mini popcorn machine?

Q: 1. Use high heat or medium-high heat.

Always use high heat or medium-high heat, because using low heat for a long time can cause the ingredients to stick to the pot.

Q: 2. Before popping, be sure to add the correct amount according to the ingredients, and pay attention to the different popping pressures for each ingredient.

Do not add too many ingredients one time, as this will reduce the space for stirring in the pot, leading to uneven heating and burning, or it gets stuck inside the pot after expanding. Please refer to the pressure chart for more details.

Q: 3. Tighten the round pressure release valve and the popcorn maker lid.

Both the round pressure release valve and the lid need to be tightened, or else air will leak out, causing the ingredients to burn.

Q: 4. Do not shake the pot vigorously.

The strong centrifugal force will push the ingredients against the pot wall, preventing proper stirring and causing burning.

Q: 5. Do not point a fan or air conditioner vent directly at the flame.

This will cause the flame to shift, resulting in lower temperature and burning.

Q: 6. It is best to use round rice and spherical corn.

Round rice and spherical corn are more heat-resistant and have better expansion capabilities, resulting in better popping.

Operation Steps

1. Take out both wicks and use them together.

2. Put the wick through the fuel cap and stretch it so the fire will be bigger.

3. Install the bracket on the base, noting that the pulleys on the left and right are not the same, and that the spacing between the pulleys near the hollow is relatively large.

4. Pour fuel into the fuel box and wet both wick heads with fuel and place them in the reserved position on the base.

5. Use the measuring cup to measure the food to be popped (e.g. 100ml corn), pour it into the popcorn maker and tighten the lid until it won't unscrew.

6. Light the wick and place the popcorn maker on the stand and start shaking the pot at an even speed.

7. Watch the pressure gauge during shaking, for example, if you are popping corn, as soon as the pressure reaches 8, turn off the heat immediately. Aim the protruding switch of the popcorn machine at the hole of the mesh bag, put the iron pipe on and break it hard, and the popcorn will enter the bag with a pop.

Input Volume

Corn

Small: 50ml (<1cup) Large: 80ml (<1cup)
Corn gets bigger as it expands and too much at once can easily get stuck in the pot. Smaller quantities produce better shapes.

Rice

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Millet

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Black Rice

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Sorghum

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Job's tears

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Wheat

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Brown rice

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Mung bean

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Red bean

100-150ml(1-1.5cups)

Black bean

Important Tips

1. When you see the safety valve release pressure, or smoke and gas, it means that it is over-pressured. Please quickly remove the pot from the fire source.
2. If the silicone pad is squeezed out after the last popping, this is normal. Be sure to put the silicone pad back in the next time popping, so that there will be no leakage.
3. During the process of popping, do not point the pot mouth or the end of the pot at people.
4. It is recommended to wear gloves and goggles before playing with the popcorn machine.
5. Children or minors need to be accompanied by adults.
6. Do not popping an empty pot, which will burn the pressure gauge.
7, When popping popcorn, you can add butter and sugar in a ratio of about 2:1:1. You can also add it according to your personal taste.
8. Do not use it at overpressure, which will damage the pressure gauge.
9. Ingredients that do not have the ability to expand cannot be popped directly. They need to be depressurized first and then removed.
10. The first pot may take longer because the pot body is cold and needs time to heat up. After heating, it will quickly increase the pressure.

The key to successful popping

Always use high heat or medium-high heat, because using low heat for a long time can cause the ingredients to stick to the pot.

2. Before popping, be sure to add the correct amount according to the ingredients, and pay attention to the different popping pressures for each ingredient.
