Popping Instructions:

• Do not add any ingredients while the popper is on any heat source.
• Use the proper amounts of oil and popcorn.

• Some gourmet hybrid popcorn such as white, crimson or petite pop-up smaller and should be adjusted accordingly.
• As you become more comfortable with your popper, you can reduce the amount of oil used to as low as a single teaspoon. That's about 41 calories - 4 1/2 fat grams!

Stove Instructions:

• Remove from heat immediately.
• Transfer into a serving bowl.
• Add butter and salt or your favorite seasoning.
