Question 1

How do we pop our popcorn?

Accepted Answer

We have two methods available for popping our popcorn!
- Kettle Popped
- Air Popped

Question 2

What is the different between kettle and air popping?

Accepted Answer

Kettle popped popcorn is cooked in a kettle with oil, and sometimes sugar. The kettle is heated until the popcorn pops, at which point, our cooks will dump the corn out of the kettles, creating a crunchy, delicious popcorn.

Air popped popcorn is cooked without oil, in a chamber filled with moving hot air. As the corn pops, it is pushed out of the chamber, ensuring nothing gets overcooked, and creates a healthier, lighter popcorn.

Question 3

How do we season our popcorn?

Accepted Answer

We have multiple options for seasoning regardless of our cooking process!
For both the Air Popped & Kettle Popped lines we have automated seasoning drums set up that offer different methods of seasoning. 
- Oil spray with dry seasoning application, which applies the programmed amounts simultaneously to the popcorn in the drum
- Slurry application, which mixes dry and/or liquid seasonings with oil and applies to the popcorn together
- A combination of dry and slurry applications
- Flavors or colors added to our kettles during cooking
