High-Output, Hard-Coat Anodized Aluminum Kettle
The two most important factors in a popcorn kettle are performance and ease in cleaning. All Paragon popcorn machines feature a high-output, hard-coat anodized aluminum kettle. Paragon's popcorn machine kettles are made of aluminum because it has the highest heat transfer rate of any approved cooking material, for optimum performance. These high-output popcorn machine kettles are then hard-coat anodized to provide a nonstick surface for easy cleaning. |

Side-Hinged Kettle
Side-hinged kettles provide easy access to the inside of the kettle, thereby allowing for simple and convenient routine cleaning. This routine procedure prevents the difficult-to-clean "baked on carbon" that is prevalent in oil-based cooking appliances. With ordinary popcorn poppers, time-consuming and difficult disassembly of the kettle is required for cleaning. |

Stainless
Steel Foodzone and Tempered Glass
Panels
The bottom tray, drop door, and old-maid drawer of the popper are constructed of stainless steel and are removable for easy cleaning, in the dishwasher or in the sink with any mild detergent. The side and back panels are made of tempered glass for safety and ease in cleaning with standard household glass cleaners. |

Built-In Warming Deck
The
popcorn machine popper incorporates a 50-watt heating element underneath
the bottom tray. Since heat rises, bottom heating is
preferable over heat lamps that only heat the top layer
of popcorn. This bottom heating element provides the
optimum amount of heat to keep your popped corn
continually warmed to the ideal serving temperature.
Depending on the humidity level, popped corn can stay
fresh all day if kept at the proper
temperature. |

Old Maid Drawer
Conveniently
built into the base of the popper is a stainless steel
drawer to collect the unpopped kernels (commonly called
"old maids"). The small holes in the bottom tray are
just the right size to allow the old maids to fall
through while keeping the fully popped corn in the
serving cabinet. The drawer is easily removed for
emptying and cleaning. |
 |
Presentation Lamp
The inside
of the popcorn machine cabinet is illuminated by a 50-watt R20 lamp.
This miniature flood lamp is ideal for highlighting the
popped corn for added impulse sales. The lamp also
provides light for added safety and convenience for the
popcorn machine's
operator. |
