How do I clean my Presto Poplite?
Use warm, soapy water. Wipe the base with a damp cloth — never put it into water. Reassemble the unit.
Should I preheat my air popper?
It’s like an oven per se, it needs to preheat first before adding the kernels. That’s what I do and it pops just about all of my popcorn (amount of kernels left un-popped is about the same amount you get in a microwave popcorn bag brand). Kernels just shot out all over and are very hot.
Do you need oil in air popper?
An air popper doesn’t require any added oil or flavorings, but store-bought microwave popcorn has additional ingredients, like salt, oil and chemical flavorings that taste like butter.
Why is my air popper burning my popcorn?
One of the most common problems with a hot air popper is burnt popcorn. Burning may be a result of overfilling the unit past the “Fill” mark on the popping chamber or using stale popcorn kernels. Some smaller or lighter popcorn kernels may not pop well and can end up burnt.
How much popcorn can you put in an air popper?
The downside of a microwavable popcorn bowl is that it yields less than stovetop or air popper methods. Most bowls are large enough to make only about 9 cups of popped popcorn at a time (using about ⅓ cup of kernels), in contrast to the roughly 18 cups that an air popper can produce (using about a ½ cup of kernels).

How big is the chute on a Presto popcorn machine?
While a few unpopped kernels spring out the chute as the machine begins to heats up, the chute does a good job of directing the popped corn into a bowl. The popper measures 14 by 9 by 6-1/2 inches, and is identical to Presto’s Orville Redenbacher Hot Air Corn Popper except for color and logo.
Can you put butter in a hot air popper?
And because the machine uses hot air instead of oil, the resulting snack is healthier and lower in calories. That’s not to say you can’t add butter; in fact, the 1/2-cup measuring cup on top of the popper doubles as a butter melter.
