Automatic Mixer Accessory

The newest addition to the line of accessories for the Ye Olde Kettle Cooker® is the Automatic Mixer. A prototype was unveiled and received with enthusiasm at IAAPA 2001, and now, with over two years of grueling field tests and working out the bugs, the accessory is available for purchase. The Automatic Mixer is an incredible labor saver, allowing for the reduction of crew personnel. It also produces a better pop, with less unpopped kernels and broken pieces, due to the consistent stirring motion and less intrusive action than the paddle. While true that using the Automatic Mixer takes away from the �demonstrating art� typically associated with the popping of kettle popcorn, it must be noted that there are many venues where this is not important, and the savings in labor and reduction in food cost allow this accessory to pay for itself in short order. On the other hand, if the particular special event or venue requires, or benefits from, doing it the old fashion 1800's demonstrating art way�manually with the paddle, this unique accessory can be installed and/or uninstalled in less than two minutes.

Pork Rind - Deep Fry Adapter Kit

Perfect for cooking Pork Rinds (67% profit margin), or any other deep fried product in your Ye Olde Kettle Cooker®.  The kit is hand crafted from food grade stainless steel, and is designed to allow the deep fried product to drain the excess oil back into the cooking bowl, before dumping the finished product into the receiving basket for bagging.  Pork Rinds, and numerous other snack-food items, are an excellent alternative to the kettle popcorn, if for some reason you can't get into an event with the popcorn...or if you are in a region where Pork Rinds are exceptionally popular.

Premier Colored Stainless Steel Receiving Basket

The aesthetically attractive Titanium coated Copper colored stainless steel receiving tub setup, which is used to receive the finished German Kettle Popcorn�, and to sieve out the unpopped kernels and broken pieces prior to bagging, was introduced at the 2001 IAAPA Convention and Trade show. Now "standard equipment" on all new cookers, this accessory can be purchased to replace the original "real" copper receiving tub setup on previously purchased Ye Olde Kettle Cookers®.  While the real copper receiving tub setup was aesthetically beautiful, it is very high maintenance and hard to keep looking new. The Titanium coated colored stainless steel is much better looking than standard silver stainless steel, and every bit as aesthetically beautiful as the real copper, but additionally offers the low maintenance easy clean up of stainless steel.
