Unpack & Assemble Your Popper
When you first receive your Catamount 2.5 Qt Corn Popper, unpack it carefully and make sure that all parts are present. The package should contain the following:
- The base unit with the heating element and power cord.
- The popcorn popping chamber with lid, handle and turning mechanism.
- A measuring cup and an instruction manual.
To assemble your popcorn maker, first, attach the popping chamber to the base unit. Make sure it is firmly attached to avoid any accidents. Then, plug in the power cord and switch on the popcorn maker. It should take about 5 minutes to heat up.
Measure Popcorn Kernels and Oil
The next step is to measure the popcorn kernels and oil. Use the measuring cup provided to measure the corn kernels. It is recommended to use 1/4th cup of kernels for each batch. Pour in 1 tablespoon of oil per 1/4th cup of kernels. You can adjust the amount of oil and kernels according to your preference.
Add Ingredients to the Popping Chamber
Once you have measured the kernels and added oil, pour them into the popping chamber. Make sure that you do not over-fill the chamber as this could cause the popcorn to spill out. You can also add sugar or salt at this point if you prefer sweet or salty popcorn. Place the lid on top of the popping chamber.
Popcorn Popping Process
Turn the handle of the Catamount 2.5 Qt Corn Popper in a clockwise direction. This will rotate the popping chamber and mix the kernels and oil inside. As the kernels begin to pop, the lid of the popcorn maker will start lifting up slightly. This is normal and allows the steam to escape. Keep turning the handle until the popping sound slows down. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Once the popping has stopped, switch off the popcorn maker and unplug it from the power supply.
Cleaning Your Popcorn Maker
Once you have finished making popcorn, let the Catamount 2.5 Qt Corn Popper cool down before cleaning it. Use a soft cloth to wipe the inside and outside of the popping chamber. The lid, handle, and turning mechanism can be removed for easier cleaning. Wash these parts with mild soap and water. Do not put them in the dishwasher. Once you have cleaned all the parts, dry them thoroughly before reassembling your popcorn maker.
Conclusion
By following these simple instructions, you can use the Catamount 2.5 Qt Corn Popper to make delicious popcorn at home. Make sure you measure the kernels and oil correctly and do not over-fill the popping chamber. Cleaning your popcorn maker after each use will ensure that it lasts for years to come. Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy your freshly made popcorn!
