Prevent burning and promote uniform popping by periodically shaking and rotating the kettle or stirring the popcorn. This technique helps distribute heat evenly, ensuring that each kernel pops to perfection.

5. Season to perfection

Once your popcorn is popped, seize the moment by seasoning it while it's still warm. Consider using one of our many popular Glaze Pop Seasoning flavours like Caramel, Red Hot Cinnamon, Sweet, Salty or Chocolate, to add a delightful twist. The warm popcorn will allow the flavors to adhere, creating a delectable treat that will keep your customers coming back for more.
