That is very important. And coconut oil with beta carotene to give your popcorn some yellow color, like they have at the movies. Then some clarified butter on top and you're in business.
Awww, this brought back so many memories. Ran our town's 1938 theatre from 2000 to 2008 and the smell of the popcorn would bring people in. Tickets were $3.50 and at times the house was packed in the 238 seats! Thanks for the memories. The ol' 'G' Theatre has been empty since. Sniff, sniff...
Thanks Rick. Brought back some great memories there. A company i worked for the popcorn machine was a huge deal to them (for the customers). All locations had them. Every morning we made it fresh and as it was needed through the day. Never thought it was possible but after 14 years. You can get sick of popcorn. I think we tried and made every flavor combo available when we got bored (including Hot Chocolate). Enjoy it. What i have seen you do over the years your popcorn flavors will be endless. Enjoy!!!
Hi Rick, I turned the popcorn machine off and waited a minute then poured in 1/2 cup, turned it on and off four more times, and the popcorn wasn't chewy. it just gets way too hot, and then pops them too fast making it chewy. The popped kernels weren't as big either. This batch was perfect. Didn't smoke as much either. not as easy as just letting it pop, but the popcorn is much better popping slower.
We have a less expensive version that came with plastic measures. The heat lamp was busted up in ours so we have to wait for a heat lamp. We’re excited to have this machine and also we have the hotdog roller. We got a six can refrigerator so now we’re all set for our basement family room.
I have a little table top one too. Mine is smaller than yours though. My husband wants a bigger one like yours. I think ours is fine for the little amount we use it. Love how you got so excited like a little kid again. :)
Thanks so much! My kids bought me one for Christmas and I just getting to use it! Mine is on a stand with wheels! I’m Al so excited! I make popcorn everyday! The adults wait around excited too!!!!
I my gosh I just got mine yesterday and I love it. way better thank the microwave bag popcorn thanks for the video. Couse of your video I bought mine lol. I got this baby for my home theater.
Between the Hot Dog Roller and the Popcorn popper, you have to be the most popular guy in the neighborhood! I understand the theaters use coconut oil for their popcorn. Your Grandkids will have a blast! Who needs the theater!!! Enjoy!
Hi Rick, I did buy the Olde Midway, and I made my first batch. I normally use a whirly popper. After using the Midway, I noticed the popcorn pops bigger, but it's also more chewy. It pops really fast, and maybe too fast. I'm going to slow it down a bit and see if that does anything. It's a lot more fun than using the whirly popper tho!
Actually, it gets much less steam than the regular popcorn popper on stove because it doesn't have time to get steamy and moist by popping out the pot which make is less crispy. That's why the popcorn at Targets and Rual King is so good. JMO.
Your enthusiasm is contagious...i bought this for my grandson like 13years ago he eats popcorn everyday ...we melt white or milk chocolate and pour over it so nom nom...lol...love it enjoy
Ok, that was an adorable video! We just opened our Midway popper, looking at your video to ensure we set it up correctly. It's a birthday gift for my 11 year old. 😊
@RickMammana Background story time, I purchased a different popcorn popper for her Birthday that was a few weeks back. I had to return it because it was defective. It took a long time to get a refund after I returned it, which finally happened & I decided on the midway with real glass & stainless steel. She got a nasty flu/cold & was home from school yesterday & feverish most of the night. She started to feel better about midday. She didn't see that the new popper had arrived 2 days ago. A few hours ago, I, with the help of your video, brought it out & we set it up. We made a bunch of popcorn & watched Christmas Chronicles together. She didn't eat a whole lot, but she sure enjoyed a bring me up evening just for her! Happy Holidays 😊
Awesome! We love popcorn! We bought our oldest son a Paragon popcorn machine last year for his birthday. Try some paragon coconut popping oil and some of the Flavacol seasoning. Both are available on Amazon. It make popcorn taste like the movies. Awesome popcorn toss at the end!
That's a beauty, I think you and Kathy are going to have to buy a bigger house with a huge kitchen so you can have room for all your machines, LOL. My husband bought me one like that when I first moved out to California, we never used it because I hate to have to clean out big machines like that ... then when we moved to a smaller place we gave it away to our old neighbor for helping us move. I love Popcorn ... should have kept that darned machine. Thanks for sharing your fun with us Rick ... it's like a walk down memory lane.
I have one of those...works great, but cleaning up the plaxiglas is horrible. The grease and oil is hard to get off. And sometimes my popcorn turns out chewy.
Sam's club sells Members Mark popcorn oil that is real good. We use it in ours. Walmart sells a popcorn seasoning called Kernel's Season's. Many flavors from Ranch to Barbecue and butter plus many more.
Thank you so much for sharing this you are very thorough and it was fun watching you my niece sent me one for my birthday I look forward to sharing with my family with my new TV God bless you and yours
I'm glad that you liked watching! It sure was fun. And I always like making popcorn with it. Sounds like you're having a great Birthday! Thank you very much! :)
I want to get the 10oz with the cart I wonder how much bigger it is then the 8oz like yours do they have spring loaded latches on the bottom of your popcorn machine that hook on to the cart?
@@RickMammana ooooh I see what you saying the 10oz unit might be bigger then the the 8oz unit you have and made different I wonder how much bigger the 10oz unit is then the 8oz unit
So tell me, how's it holding up after 3 years. would you still buy this model? Thank you for answering my question that you would buy this product again! Thank you!
do you have the number to olde midway I wanted to ask them some question about the machine before I order it but they don't have a number and I tried googling it but nothing comes up do they have a number on you instructional Manuel ?
I know where I'm going to go for parties and to watch movies. LOL! We have stores here that have poppers like that and they give the popcorn for free while you shop. They use butter flavored popcorn oil to pop it.
I don't want to burst your bubble but I have one like that and the inside is stainless except for the ceiling, it is galvanized but after several uses it still starts to rust...Keep it wiped dry after use and do not use salt in the popping oil , save it to spread on after it pops.
He's like a big kid waiting for his popcorn! Love it!!
NOW YOU NEED TO GET THE FLAVACOL SALT, LIKE THEY USE IN THE MOVIE THEATER.
That is very important. And coconut oil with beta carotene to give your popcorn some yellow color, like they have at the movies. Then some clarified butter on top and you're in business.

Think your supposed to use coconut oil? I do with mine regular oil is hard on the kettle and hard to clean
Hello from Holly Ridge, N.C. tyu for sharing your popcorn 🍿 machine with us . Yummy popcorn .

This is how I found this channel amazing
That’s awesome!! Now you just need a huge butter pump dispenser😍
Yes! We were just talking about that! :)
Gota have the butter👊
We have a less expensive version that came with plastic measures. The heat lamp was busted up in ours so we have to wait for a heat lamp. We’re excited to have this machine and also we have the hotdog roller. We got a six can refrigerator so now we’re all set for our basement family room.
That's great to have all that going I. Your family room. Thanks for watching! 👍
I got the same one but black and with a vintage stand.
Love this guy, he has the same happy face as he did when he was 5 on Christmas Morning,
👍😁👍 Thanks!
I have a little table top one too. Mine is smaller than yours though. My husband wants a bigger one like yours. I think ours is fine for the little amount we use it. Love how you got so excited like a little kid again. :)
I have a roller griller for work. I just got my popcorn maker for Christmas this past year
Nice! 👍👍
Best video about popcorn I've seen! I love the genuine attitude and this guy's clear love for popcorn!
Dude you had made me laugh. I was so Excited when we opened our popcorn machine box and put it together it’s so much fun I love popcorn
Awesome, those machines make the best popcorn.
LMAO... Rick is a true Kid at Heart! :)
Can’t believe there’re so few assembly videos. Thank you!
You're welcome!
I only came here to see your review since I just bought one of these on sale from Amazon, but now I want a hot dog roller.
Yeah the hotdog roller is great! These 2 gadgets go good together. Thanks for watching!
You could have family movie night with popcorn and hotdogs
Perfect for the fall/winter to go along with all the holiday movies that will be on.
Fun!
How do you have space to store all of these appliances??
Thanks so much! My kids bought me one for Christmas and I just getting to use it! Mine is on a stand with wheels! I’m Al so excited! I make popcorn everyday! The adults wait around excited too!!!!
That's such a great present! It's fun to have one of these. Thanks for watching!
I agree, use coconut oil and flavacol. I put 1 teaspoon of flavacol in the oil.veggie oil I won't use as it can gum up over time.
Thanks my job just got one of these and I wasn't sure I had it together right until your video. Hope you and your family are enjoying your machine.
Glad I could help! We are enjoying it! Thanks. :)
I my gosh I just got mine yesterday and I love it. way better thank the microwave bag popcorn thanks for the video. Couse of your video I bought mine lol. I got this baby for my home theater.
I have never been so happy for a popcorn before… and I don’t even have a machine like this! That’s it! I’m getting one of these!

Hi, This is a real fun way to make popcorn. It always good for me how ever it comes out. I love it. :)
I believe the chewiness comes from the steam trapped in the popcorn machine as it’s popping therefore making the popcorn tougher/ chewier.
Actually, it gets much less steam than the regular popcorn popper on stove because it doesn't have time to get steamy and moist by popping out the pot which make is less crispy. That's why the popcorn at Targets and Rual King is so good. JMO.

Mine is a Fun Time Popcorn Popper Machine... Black.. 40z I love it
Best video I’ve seen in a while! Looking forward to the same unboxing cheering when I get mine!
Thank you, this looks [and appears packed like] our new Great Northern popcorn machine, and i was concerned about the double boxes inside! Thanks!
Awesome! We love popcorn! We bought our oldest son a Paragon popcorn machine last year for his birthday. Try some paragon coconut popping oil and some of the Flavacol seasoning. Both are available on Amazon. It make popcorn taste like the movies.

Ronda I use the popcorn oil with the Flavorcol too, it definitely tastes like the movies 🍿

How exciting 😀now l want one🍿cool video
I have one of those...works great, but cleaning up the plaxiglas is horrible. The grease and oil is hard to get off. And sometimes my popcorn turns out chewy.
This is real glass and it's easy to clean. :) Thanks for watching!
So cool Rick the grand kids will love that when they come to see you
Yeah they sure will. :)

This was so funny!! I love when adults let out the "kid side" of themselves 😊 People act like we can't have innocent fun anymore smh. Great video 😁
You’re so awesome Rick!!!
Thanks for watching! 👍😎

I'm glad that you liked watching! It sure was fun. And I always like making popcorn with it. Sounds like you're having a great Birthday! Thank you very much! :)
Rick Mammana poppin it old school ! Nice ! We use a popper like that for our Kiwanis charity events.
I want to get the 10oz with the cart I wonder how much bigger it is then the 8oz like yours do they have spring loaded latches on the bottom of your popcorn machine that hook on to the cart?
No I don't see any latches. It's probably a whole different unit that's built for the cart.
@@RickMammana ooooh I see what you saying the 10oz unit might be bigger then the the 8oz unit you have and made different I wonder how much bigger the 10oz unit is then the 8oz unit
Nice video! I am debating if I should get my kid this for Christmas.
Thanks I'm glad you liked it! It sure is a fun thing to have. :)
Awesome, very well done promo
Thanks! I'm glad you liked watching.
How hot does the top get? I am wanting to put this umder a shelf and I am wondering how much space above the top I need to disperse the heat.
It gets hot not sure how hot, but it does need some space around it for air to circulate. Maybe that info is at the link in the video description.
Now I want popcorn 🍿.Have fun!
Me too! :)
Laughed so hard at this video especially the when you started eating the popcorn 😂
I'm glad that you liked watching! 😁👍
I'm watching your video because I'm about to get one as well😁
It's a really cool thing to have. Thanks for watching!
So tell me, how's it holding up after 3 years. would you still buy this model? Thank you for answering my question that you would buy this product again! Thank you!
Still like new. Yes I would buy it again.
Best review of this machine on youtube! NIce job!
