Author Topic: What popcorn equipment/supplies are you using ?

The saturated fatty acids make up as little as about 9% and as much as 28-29%. The rest are unsaturated and the majority of those are monounsaturated. Plus, there's no such thing as monosaturated.  |  IP: Logged Alen Gann Film Handler Posts: 4 From: springtown tx usa Registered: Jan 2007 posted 04-17-2008 01:14 PM                     hay on the drive- in with the manley ,could you post a link or tell me wich drive in it is.

Our popper in our QC lab (small 8oz cart type) has finaly depleted the included supplies and its time to re-stock.

That machine is in perfect working condition, but was taken out of service because the glass globe portion of the kettle was chipped and the owner wanted a spare on hand before using it again.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-19-2008 08:03 AM                     That is a VistaPop  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-19-2008 09:52 AM                        That looks just like our old machine referenced above, except our cabinet is not tapered at the top and the machine is several years newer, I'd guess from the cabinet styling.  |  IP: Logged Alen Gann Film Handler Posts: 4 From: springtown tx usa Registered: Jan 2007 posted 04-20-2008 02:08 PM                     I have not seen the gold medal portion pak mentioned ,so I will. I thought I would give it a try, everything is their all neatly measered out for you. Just open the bag and pore. However I find it hard to sqeeze out the contents of the bag and lift the lid to the kettle with out melting the bag or burning yourself. Also the popcorn is toughf , very unhappy with the product and will not buy again.  |  IP: Logged Luci Reeve Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Telluride, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 06-27-2008 11:34 PM                        Our machine is antique, our corn is Orville's, our butter is O'dell's, our salt is flavacol and our oil is naks...2x what the recipe calls for; and that's why people love our popcorn. That coconut oil "revelation" a couple of years ago (put out by the corn oil people, I heard) really scared alot of morons but when we tried other oils the popcorn wasn't good enough for me so we never switched.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 06-28-2008 01:10 AM                        We have Creator's poppers - I don't recall the model. We use Orville's corn, O'Dell's Classic Blend Oil (cheaper than Canola and smells better), and O'Dell's Super-Kist II. For salt we just use a fine snack and nut salt rather than a flavored salt.  |  IP: Logged
