Most people have enjoyed the special taste that comes from a bag of kernels popped in a popcorn machine. Many non profit groups own these units so they can use them for special event. They can be used just for fun or as a way to make money for the group. The units are not difficult to use once a person has been taught the correct technique. Children are usually around when the unit is in use. Children are often eating the bags of popcorn as well as being the ones handing it out. Children should not be around the popper unsupervised by an adult. The metal kettle gets hot and can burn the skin. There will also be heat that emanates from the holding area. The decision as to where the popper will be places is an important one. The surface should be level and able to not be damaged by heat. The surface will also be exposed to spilled popped kernels and any oil that spills. The table must also be sturdy enough to handle its weight. These poppers are different than the ones that are used at home. These large units require special products to be bought for them. Special packages can be purchased with oils and kernels made for the specific kettle size. These packages also have the unique salts that people expect to have from this type of popcorn. The holding container and popping kettle need to be cleaned before the first use and after the event is over. Old kernels and pieces that did not pop should be removed. Oils that are not cleaned can build up and make the unit unhealthy to use. Proper cleaning is a part of maintenance. Directions should be included with the popper that tell how to take care of it. An adult needs to be the one in charge of using the machine. This person should have been given some instruction on its care and use. It is not a challenging technique to learn. It can be helpful to have someone who is familiar with the technique train the new person. This training will make sure that the snack is properly and safely made. Selling paper bags of popcorn is one way organizations raise funds. The treat can also be a nice thing to provide at a large party. The popcorn machine is not difficult to use with adequate training. The products used in the unit should be those that are made for this type of popper. Proper care will keep the unit working for a long time.
