Popcorn Machine supplies Popcorn & Oil Measure kit for 8oz poppers Designed for popper use, this convenient set includes two long-handled, stainless steel measure cups, one for popcorn (the larger cup) and one for oil (the smaller cup). This kit is for the measurement of popcorn kernerls and oil with the use of an 8 oz. kettle popcorn machine. Popcorn and Oil not included. *Style of handle subject to change without notice. What size popper do I need? Each popcorn machine has a rating called quarts/hour. This tells the maximum amount of popcorn that it will produce if you were to continually pop corn for a full hour. You should determine the maximum amount of popcorn that you will need in any hour and use this table (keep in mind that Street Vendor brand poppers hold approximately 45 quarts of popped corn): Less than 85 quarts = 4 ounce popper (makes about 5 quarts per cycle) 86-126 quarts = 6 ounce popper (makes about 7.5 quarts per cycle) 127-170 quarts = 8 ounce popper (makes about 10 quarts per cycle) What makes theater popcorn taste so much better than microwave popcorn? The taste and flavor of popcorn is determined by the type of oil and seasoning salt that is used in the cooking process. Most theaters use a specially formulated cooking oil that is partially absorbed by the popcorn as it pops. This is what gives the popcorn its flavor. Most microwaveable popcorn is oil-less and comes out dry and flavor-less. DND Enterprises offers a specially blended Popcorn Oil that is very low in fat and cholesterol while offering that “Great Theater Popcorn” taste. Why does popcorn “Pop”? Quality popcorn has a moisture content of 13-14% inside the hull. When the popcorn is heated the moisture turns to steam and expands. Eventually the pressure from the expanding steam causes the hull to explode. Storing popcorn in a sealed container at room temperature or less will keep the moisture content consistent and the popcorn fresh. Avoid storing popcorn in extremely warm and dry conditions which will cause the moisture content in the popcorn to reduce. A loss of as little as 3% moisture can cause the kernel to become un-poppable (an old maid). Does a popcorn machine require much maintenance? The only maintenance required on a Street Vendor brand popcorn machine is to keep it clean. Routine cleaning only requires that the excess oil is wiped off the kettle after you finish popping (a damp cloth will do the trick). You will want to do a thorough cleaning occasionally by removing the stainless steel trays (clean in a sink or dishwasher) and cleaning the glass panels with a standard glass cleaner. Any carbon build-up on the kettle that results from the failure to remove the excess oil can be cleaned with the “Kettle Cleaning Kit” available at our eBay store.

The cost of shipping is the cost, with a very modest charge for packaging. We are not like some sellers that try to makeup their profit on shipping cost. Unfortunately, we don't have much control over the cost charged by the shipping companies. It's the weight of an item, not the price of it, that determines the shipping cost. A note regarding international shipping rates: We collect for the shipping charges only. Any customs or Duty charges will be your responsibility once the item arrives in your country from the United States. Generally, customs charges are based on what country an item is manufactured in, not where it is shipped from. Because each country is different, we suggest you check with your countries customs office before ordering if you have questions regarding Customs, Duty, or VAT fees. We do not have control over those fees, they are charged by your country. We are a business, therefor we are not able to send items as a "gift" or modify the amount paid. You can contact us by using eBay's "Ask the seller a question". We are sorry but we no longer put our email address on our listings. We have found that unscrupulous people "harvest" (collect) email address off eBay listings and then send out "spoof" (fake) emails trying to look like they're from eBay in the hopes of getting account information and passwords. We know this because we receive these fake emails ourselves. But, you can generally tell if a message is from eBay because they have your actual name at the top of the message and not just "Dear Member". If ever in doubt about an email, don't click on the links, instead, open a new window and go to eBay.com that way. We will be happy to answer your questions using eBay's message system.
