I need the amounts to use for a commercial popper. It is a standup popper on wheels, looks old fashioned. How much corn and oil? Thanks

I am not fimiliar with that brand . the corn/oil ratio is 3 to 1 so if you add 1-1/2 cups (12oz.) of corn with 4 oz. of oil the popping cycle from the time you dump the corn and oil in to when you dump it shoul be around 3-1/2 min. if its much longer its too much so try 8 oz of corn and 2-1/2 oz. of oil. By you using this test or formula I am assuming the kettle thermostat is set correctly already.

The manual says to put 1 to 3 tablespoons of oil in the popper, and when hot, add 1/2 cup popcorn. Salt it after dumping the popped corn into a bowl.

I have the same popper and the instructions. You do not need any oil. There is a circle lid piece at the top of the popper. You put the pop corn seeds in that lid and then pour the seeds in through the hole at the top. The popper needs to be off while you do this. Once you've added the popcorn you can then turn on the switch located on the back of the popper. It looks like a small light switch. The popcorn will start popping and it may smell funny at first if you haven't used it or used it properly. You have to monitor it and turn it off yourself- using that same switch. And per the manual you need to wait 15 minutes before you use it again.
We use ours all the time and love it. Hope this helps.

2 tablespoons oil to 1/2 cup corn

put about 2 tablesppons oil into the popper. Put 2 or 3 kernals into the oil. Turn the popper ON. When the kernals pop,.the oil is hot enough. Add 1/2 to 3/4 cup corn and enjoy when its done.

It all depends on the model you have. If you have a CCP-509 or 510 it takes 1 TBSP of OIL and 1/2 popping corn.

The usual way to use a pop corn popper is to:
1st - add oil
2nd - add popcorn
3rd - add any seasoning (if using the pre-packaged "theater" popcorn mix).

DO NOT add butter into the popper, as it will burn quickly and make for some foul tasting pop corn.

You can always add butter and salt to taste AFTER the pop corn is done popping.

Hope you find this Very Helpful. Best regards!

The oil is leaking around the stirring-arm-motor shaft -- it needs a new seal. It's not the oil you're using.
