Thank you for posting this video. Kettle corn is great at Christmas. I make kettle corn in my small 8 ounce popcorn popper using very similar ingredient ratios of oil, raw corn, and sugar. I had kettle corn from a big kettle just like in this video, and it was VERY GOOD. Saw it at a Christmas carnival. Little kids wanted to get up close and watch, but they did not yet know they could get burned. The kettle and the operator were inside of a fence perimeter to keep people out for safety reasons.
Just some quick maths for ya he sell's the 12 for 3 dollars 18 for 5 and 24 for 7 means if you buy 2 small 12s which would equal the 24 then you'd be saving yourself 1 dollar
What a sweet setup for popping corn. I have never had kettle corn, is it always made with sugar. Looks yummy with a cold drink. Well done, keep on popping
In the kettle corn business we use different flavours. In my operation we use Pink Cherry, Blue Raspberry, and Caramel. On stand by we have green apple. Biggest seller is Caramel and Blueraspbery. They are all flavoured sugars.
We recently got kettle corn at event in Quartzsite Arizona. They label their popcorn in the ingredients as mushroom popcorn. It was a very superior popcorn. A lot more popcorn area for flavors and not a lot of bull showing.
Either you really, really like kettle corn or you work farmers markets professionally haha. Thanks for the video. I have always had a hard time figuring out when to add in the sugar.
Do you do the same thing as you did with the sugar with any other flavor? Just asking because I’m just starting are with my own kettle corn stand myself
Ok this is cool! However, your a welder fabricator...so make a tumbler that's horizontal for tumbling (sifting) and vertical for bagging and pouring. In just saying it'll help a lot! You can make it battery powered too or 120v whichever.
Hi Arnold ? - I have one exactly like this one in the video. Brand new, CAll me if you're interested. I also have a customer in Bakersfield who has a used one I can put you in contact with - I'll be in and out of my shop the next few days but I will call you back if I miss your call or Text. -360-477-0257 ..

Hi Daniel. Sorry for late response. The 80qt poppers I use I order from 2 or 3 suppliers here in the USA. I use ALPHA USA and Webstrauant.com They are a Chinese copy of the Hobart 80qt mixing bowl used in most bakeries. In Germany Google restaurant equipment suppliers, try Ebay or a similar, also try a Chinese supplier like www.alibaba.com/. or even Amazon.
Yes .. I've sold poppers to several people who use it to cook Soups, shrimp Gumbo, Chile, crawdads and Deep fry turkey's . Basically it's just a big pot with a burner under it... The sky's the limit.
Very good point. I've made kettle corn with both butterfly popcorn and mushroom popcorn and had very good results. Mushroom popcorn is generally more expensive than butterfly popcorn per pound. At least I compared the two at the 50 pound bag price at a concession supplies and equipment dealer.
Thats it ?? wow , I thought it was so much more than just corn and sugar and a little bit of salt ( its cooked in a Huge keetle ?? ok well thankyou so much for sharing this video
I see ur using an 80 quart.but if u wanted to could u pop more than 6 cups at a time if u needed to?For example in order to keep up with demand an an event?
Yes 10 cups is about as much as I have popped. Anymore than that and it tends to fall out of the kettle. Some of my customers say they can get 12 cups out of a batch if they use a auto stir.
Sorry for the late response. -- 6 cups of mushroom kernel's, 2 cups of sugar cooked in 2 1/2 cups of oil (corn oil, Coconut or butter). then a bit of salt.
I had 4 bottles I use to store it by the window. it was the one at the back of the shelf. The sun faded it very quickly. I'm in a new shop now. Tons of storage options now.
Try a different vender .. Most cooks do it right. The first batch I ever made was perfect. the next 3 were a bit burnt... since then I got it down and figured out how to cook it without burning it.
you say you dont want to stir but you keep touching it. i think you get burnt ones because of the stirring, believe it or not. it is the husk that burns, so once popped they are in the air and not in contact with the heat. the trick is because of the heat of the pot. you have to temper the oil/pot when you are preparing it. when you get the oil to temp and test kernels popped, you need to turn off the heat for a second, because that means everything is hot. when it cools slightly, turn back up the heat, dump everything, cover. stir when popcorn is popping full speed to resettle kernels. i assume you can put the sugar when they are popping as another way to cool back down the excess heat. think about it, there is a reason that the test kernels pop readily. never understood how people see that and then stir like mad thinking they need to 'warm up' the kernels. keep the heat the same, you just have to temper by turning it off it when the pot was ripping hot with nothing in it, just oil.
Yes I build Auto stirs for them . Almost everyone who buy's one from me this year is getting a auto stir from me too. If it's not busy I prefer to pop by hand.
Robert Malone I make mine on the stove, just regular popcorn. Cover bottom of pan with oil, put 3 kernels. When they pop I cover the bottom of pan with the popcorn and take it off the heat source. Bam.
I sell these poppers to many people who use it for home use... They share it with there neighbors, parties Church and other activities. Many also use it to cook chili, Gumbo's and soups.
“Once those kernels start poppin, they’re like missiles”

Love seeing this when I go to the Amish Farm. Smells so good and a Fall Favorite! Thanks for sharing! Never gets old

I enjoyed watching you work hard and confidently and simply explain your experience to us Greetings from me man from Syria
Thanks
just a super rad due making some delicious kettle corn! thanks for the vid!
This was really informative. Thank you for making and posting this video!
This is great! Could you do another video like this and breakdown the pop process while you make a batch?
Just some quick maths for ya he sell's the 12 for 3 dollars 18 for 5 and 24 for 7 means if you buy 2 small 12s which would equal the 24 then you'd be saving yourself 1 dollar
Or save even more and make yourself.
Love this!!! It's my favorite popcorn!!!!!

Yes, at least a little bit of sugar. If it doesn't have sugar, it's just regular popcorn

It was. I'm not mad about it, either. I love kettle corn.

its a interesting concept i am a vendor myself maybe i will do kettle corn lol
Hard to get sometimes 😢 I need to go to these events to find some.
Thank you for making
Thank you. I now know what to do with my old crab cooker.
😮 I wished I could've worked in the movie theater doing this 😆
Do you do the same thing as you did with the sugar with any other flavor? Just asking because I’m just starting are with my own kettle corn stand myself
Basically Yes ... You can play with it until you get what result you like... Everyone has their "secret" way of popping corn.
I tend to get a "ring of sugar" around my kettle after a handful of batches. How do you avoid that?
Ok this is cool!
However, your a welder fabricator...so make a tumbler that's horizontal for tumbling (sifting) and vertical for bagging and pouring. In just saying it'll help a lot! You can make it battery powered too or 120v whichever.
I have 5 models of poppers . I'm working on a new designs all of the time. Tumbling type is one I've considered.
This guy is awesome!
Where can I get a used one ? Or a old fashion kettle corn machine , to stir it Manually?? I’ve been look for one everywhere

How much does it cost for the set up you have?
Thanks for this information 👍
I like that kernel-catching contraption 😂
where can you buy this stainless steel kettle? Is that a kettle from a mixer? I'm from Germany and would like to replicate it.

Where would you suggest getting the corn from. Any particular supplier you like more than another. Thanks and love your setup

Can you cook anything else beside popcorn?
Yes .. I've sold poppers to several people who use it to cook Soups, shrimp Gumbo, Chile, crawdads and Deep fry turkey's . Basically it's just a big pot with a burner under it... The sky's the limit.
Class act. Thanks - the dude from Nebraska
Thanks
Looked good, may try it.....
Nice workout
Where can I get that setup
Great video!
You use butterfly type corn. Isn't mushroom type better for coating ?
Very good point. I've made kettle corn with both butterfly popcorn and mushroom popcorn and had very good results. Mushroom popcorn is generally more expensive than butterfly popcorn per pound. At least I compared the two at the 50 pound bag price at a concession supplies and equipment dealer.

I want some kettle corn popcorn
Thats it ?? wow , I thought it was so much more than just corn and sugar and a little bit of salt ( its cooked in a Huge keetle ?? ok well thankyou so much for sharing this video
I have watched live at venues and they stir the hell out of it. lol
It's the popcorn missile crisis! 😁😆
How do you know how hot to the oil is? Did you open the valve all the way on the propane?
Should dump in a metal container instead of plastic
Do you use the regular sugar or powder sugar?
I use regular sugar cane sugar that you can get at Costco.
Wow you're serious about your popcorn. Do you sell popcorn? Deina from El Paso Texas. Thanks for sharing. Never seen this.

I've gone up to 8 cups comfortably some have done 10 cups but 8 is about the max I like to go.
I tryd popping peanuts, no luck yet.
Yum
Measurements of the kettle please
The popper in the video is 31 wide x 36 long and 36" to the top of the bowl. My big ones are 34 wide x 49 long x 37 to the top of the bowl.
Nice video excelent learning a little bit from you a little bit from Greg w seet and so so
Good afternoon, I'm from Guatemala and I ask if they send machines for Guatemala, the price
Yes I can. I ship anywhere.
How much plastic do you get on the product dumping it directly into a non food grade tub from the cooker? And why the hell would you do that?
Don't you like PCBs in your popcorn? ROFL. Seriously I wouldn't eat that popcorn if you paid me. lol.
No need to worry about the PCBs.......The GMO Masola corn oil will take care of that for you. ;) LoL
It is safe to use tubs.you should invest in google and look it up .
@@saintwalker8536 Those are not food grade lugs. You are pathetic. Look up THAT word
Where do you get your equipment from?
this machine can make boll shape caramel popcorn ?
Hmmm .. I don't know. never tried it. It will boil anything so I suppose so.
Yes you can just needs to make them by hand after you dump it from the bowl
How much sugar did he add? I don't hear him mention the quantity .
2 cups of sugar
I use 1 3/4 cup per 6 cups of corn. Most use a 3 part corn 1 part sugar but That's a bit to sweet for me.
What kids of popcorn is it?
theres only one kind
hello..iam from singapore can i learn from you?

Check your website, it is offline.

Aluminum sifting table NO! NOT GOOD!
I'm sorry but I have to say with all that custom Fab, what is with the plastic non-food grade storage tote. Suspiciously Walmart spec...
how do you know if it is or not also you arent eating it anyways
How much money
For the poppers? - I have 5 models that range in price from $2800 to $6000.

I guess he likes the flavour of melted plastic.
So it’s relatively calorie free then?
Not sure if serious or sarcasm but if genuinely asking, it's definitely far from calorie free.
