Popcorn is a popular food that can be found all around Ghana from the supermarkets to the small stalls littered around. To create popcorn, you’ll need a popcorn machine. Electric popcorn machines and gas popcorn machines are the two most common types of popcorn machines.
In this article, we are looking at the essential things we need to know about popcorn machines.
Factors to consider before purchasing a popcorn machine
Capacity
In general, the higher the wattage of your popcorn maker, the faster it will cook. If you want a home theater machine that will allow for faster popping times, seek for one that has at least 640 watts of power. Low-wattage models are good, especially if you aren’t planning on making large batches of popcorn. If you want your popcorn to pop faster or if you’re organizing an event, a popcorn machine with 860 watts or more is a good option.
Top Quality Materials
Make absolutely sure the manufacturer you choose employs high-quality steel and tempered glass that is scratch-resistant and less prone to warping.
Machines that appear to be identical (particularly online) can have dramatically differing quality parts, affecting the machine’s longevity and reliability.
Gas or electric
Popcorn machines come in two varieties: gas and electric. You have the option of purchasing either a gas or an electric equipment. Both are efficient, but depending on your business’s location and capacity, they offer various benefits.
If you operate in a region where electricity is scarce, we recommend a gas popcorn machine. If you plan on running a mobile popcorn stand, this machine is ideal. If your store is immovable and you have good electricity, an electric machine is a good choice.
Warranty
The manufacturer’s warranty is a crucial factor to consider. There are companies that promise to offer 5-year warranties on devices, but you cant contact them. A five-year warranty from a firm that can’t be reached is obviously useless…make sure you’re working with a trustworthy organization that can be reached by phone.
Look for manufacturers who provide detailed warranty information, such as “3 years on machine, 30 days on kettle and lights.
