Popcorn Buying Guide
POPCORN MACHINE BUYING GUIDE
We offer and broad product line of popcorn machines, ranging in size from 4 ounce machines to large 20 ounce machines. The popcorn machine heats the kernel making it explode, or “pop.” Each kernel consists of water and starch that is concealed inside of the hull so that when the kernel heats up, the water expands and pressure builds up within the hull. The pressure creates a “pop” as the hull gives way to inflated starch that turns the kernel inside out. Popcorn poppers provide for the escape of steam during the popping cycle. This prevents the popcorn from becoming soggy.
These are commercial machines made from the highest quality materials with a local American work force providing you performance, reliability and quality. Paragon has been making popcorn machines for several decades and each product has the latest innovations and are fully-featured. We take the guess work out of buying a popcorn popper - the only things to decide upon are size, color, style and electrical source.
Popcorn machines are categorized by the amount of popcorn they pop during one cycle. Each cycle lasts roughly 3 minutes. For instance, as shown in the table to the right, Paragon's 4 ounce popper makes 92 (one ounce) servings per hour. Most concessionaires will measure their popcorn in one ounce servings, which is the recommended size for one person.
