CLEANING YOUR THEATER POPCORN MACHINE 1. Let popper cool completely before cleaning. Unplug the cabinet cord from the wall outlet. Remove the popping kettle from the cabinet and discard any unpopped kernels. Use a soapy dishcloth or non-abrasive scrubber to wash inside the kettle then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not immerse kettle in water. Remove the stir rod and kettle cover from the cabinet. Wash the stir rod, kettle cover, measuring cup and spoon, popcorn scoop, screen, and kernel catcher in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. 2. Wipe the interior of the popper cabinet with a damp, soapy cloth to remove any residues. Rinse with a damp, soap-free cloth and dry thoroughly. If desired, remove the doors and wash in warm, soapy water. This appliance has no user serviceable parts. POPCORN IDEAS & RECIPES Popcorn is the perfect blank canvas for creating treats. You can create decadent concoctions with chocolate and candies or healthy, guilt-free snacks that everyone can enjoy. Here are some recipes and ideas to get you started, but really, once you start, your imagination can take over. When you're done popping, start layering flavors. We find a light misting of olive oil, (many great infused olive oils are also available) lemon or lime juice, balsamic vinegar, or even water will help any additional seasonings adhere to the corn. Try mixing and matching any of these for a healthy snack: Nutritional Yeast (great Paprika Basil nutty flavor) Thyme Cinnamon Sea salt Celery flakes Cloves Garlic powder Parsley Chives Onion powder Crushed red peppers Sugar Chili powder Black pepper Dill Cumin Lemon, orange, or lime Aged and grated Oregano zest Parmesan, Provolone, or Rosemary Cocoa powder Romano cheese Melted chocolate or marshmallow is a great way to bind and layer decadent ingredients with popcorn, or to create popcorn balls, bars, or pops. For a more traditional binder, boil 1 cup of sugar with 1 cup of corn syrup, then add your other ingredients toss and form. Or while still warm, roll balls or pops in crushed candies, coconut, chopped nuts, sprinkles. Try mixing and matching any of these for a decadent treat: Chopped candy bars Chocolate chips Marshmallows Salted peanuts Bacon Blue cheese crumbles Reduced balsamic vinegar (fruit infused is delightful) Cake mix Cake or brownie crumbles Nuts Candy pieces or Bitesized candies Hot cocoa mix Sweetened cereal Melted chocolate or Almond bark Toasted or grated coconut Powdered drink mixes Dry cheese sauce powder Peanut butter Cocoa powder Powdered sugar Pretzels Graham cracker pieces Crushed cookies English - 5
