How to choose the right size popcorn machine:

How do you know what size popcorn machine to purchase? Your success in selling popcorn (or just popping at home) begins with purchasing the properly sized popcorn machine. If the model you purchase is too small then you will not be able to keep up with demand, which will result in lost sales. If the machine is too large you will also not capitalize on all the opportunities to sell popcorn. One of the keys to selling popcorn is to pop corn when your location is the busiest.

The three-minute popping cycle is a good rule of thumb to use when calculating what each size popcorn maker will produce. As you will notice every popcorn machine model is categorized below by the amount of popcorn they pop during one popping cycle. This makes selecting the right size popcorn maker easier.

For example, a six ounce popcorn machine will pop 6 one ounce serving in one pop cycle and an eight ounce popcorn popper will produce 8 one ounce servings in one pop cycle, and so on. Small popcorn machines are six and eight-ounce capacity, medium size popcorn machines are twelve through fourteen ounce and large popcorn machines are sixteen to sixty-six ounce. A one ounce serving is equivalent to roughly 2-1/2 cups of popped popcorn. Once you have selected the proper size you need to look at the other features to decide which model you feel will maximize sales for your organization. What are some of these features?

What size cabinet do you need? Sometimes counter space will require a smaller size cabinet. That is why there are various cabinet sizes for each kettle size. We want you to have every opportunity to purchase the popper that will build sales for you. Many popcorn machines come with a heating system in the cabinet to keep the corn fresh. There are two types of heating systems. The smaller models typically have a strip heater attached to the bottom pan and the larger machines have blower-heating systems that put more heat in the cabinet. This is necessary because the cabinets are generally larger and store more popcorn.

Your popcorn machine can also be used as a merchandiser. You can select from a simple decal on the front glass, a silk-screened plastic dome, a lighted popcorn sign or even a neon sign. And the antique style models offer a high end flair that really looks great. No matter which popcorn machine model you choose, all are designed for continuous use in any environment whether you are using the popcorn popper for home theater use or in your store for a commercial application.
