How to Make Perfectly Caramelized Kettle Corn
-
Heat
Set your Popsmith Popper over medium heat and let it preheat for 1-2 minutes.
-
Melt
Start by adding the coconut oil and popping corn from your pre-measured popcorn kit — not the sugar just yet!
-
Turn
Close the lid and turn the handle CLOCKWISE to coat your kernels in coconut oil.
-
Sweeten
When the oil has fully melted and you start to hear (and smell) that sizzle, go ahead and add Sugar’n Salt mix.
-
Mix
Close the lid and give your Popsmith a few more turns to mix the ingredients together. (Or give your Popper a little shake to ensure the bottom kernels don't over-caramelize or burn!)

When popping slows down, remove the popper from the burner.

Enjoy
Pour your masterpiece into a bowl. Give it a minute to release steam and get crispy. Enjoy!
How To Clean Your Popper
Between Pops?
Simply wipe out the inside of your popper with a clean towel (be careful, the popper will still be hot).
After Popping:
All parts of the Popsmith Popper are completely dishwasher safe. To hand wash, be sure to let your pan cool then rinse and wash with soapy water.
Tough to clean spots? Clean with a nonabrasive, non-chlorine cleanser like Bar Keepers Friend® or Bon Ami®.
Why Is Kettle Corn Unique?
Sweet n' Salty
Kettle corn popcorn is a sweet type of popcorn that’s made by mixing kernels with sugar, salt, and oil. It’s a familiar favorite at festivals and county fairs.
The Popsmith Method
Tip #1: Kettle corn is distinctly sweet with a dash of salt. The exterior is crispy and slightly sticky, thanks to its layer of caramelized sugar. Starting with hot oil means your sugar will spend less time in the pan.
Tip #2: The bottom layer of kettle corn will burn in a hot pan quite quickly, even off the heat. Be sure to remove it promptly from your Popper!
