FAQs

How much popcorn can I make at once?

The popper typically handles up to 1/2 cup of kernels.

Can I add oil or butter?

Yes, you can add oil or butter if desired, but it's not required. Butter can be added after popping for best results.

How do I clean the popcorn popper?

You can wash it by hand with soap and water or put it in the dishwasher.

What kind of kernels should I use?

Any type of popcorn kernels will work, but yellow or white popcorn is most common.

How do I prevent burning?

Start with shorter popping times and lower power settings. Listen closely for the popping to slow down or stop.

What if the popper melts?

The Chef'n Poptop is made of high heat-resistant silicone, so it should not melt under normal microwave conditions. If it melts, stop use.

Is it safe to handle immediately after popping?

No, let it cool for about a minute before removing it from the microwave to prevent burns.

Troubleshooting

Popcorn is burning.

Reduce the popping time or use a lower power setting on your microwave. Experiment to find the optimal settings.
