Popcorn equipment includes home and commercial poppers, accessories, and food items. Commercial options are often used in home theaters. Popcorn equipment comes in modern or old-fashioned styles and includes carts, stands, and countertop models. Accessories include butter dispensers, scoops, and containers. Home kitchen equipment differs from commercial or theater equipment and includes microwaveable bags and hot air or oil poppers.
The different types of popcorn equipment include both home and commercial poppers as well as all the accessories required with these machines, including food items. While compact popcorn equipment is used for kitchens, commercial options are often part of many home theaters. Most popcorn is either modern or old-fashioned. In general, popcorn poppers are designed to sit on a countertop or be part of a stand or cart.
For example, hawker styles of popcorn carts usually have two large wheels on one end and legs and a handle on the other. They may have an opening in the roof where you add crackling corn to a round metal pan. This type of pan is a common type of popcorn equipment often called a kettle. The popped corn overflows from the kettle to fill the main body of the glass-walled cart section. Countertop models and commercial popcorn stand types, which are like carts without wheels, usually have this type of main section with glass walls.
Modern poppers tend to feature straight lines and colors like black. Old-fashioned versions are often red with some curved detailing. They usually have yellow, old-looking letters of the word “popcorn” embedded somewhere on the equipment.
In addition to the popcorn itself, food items used with popcorn equipment include salt, shake seasonings, and butter. Pump-style bottles are sold for dispensing melted butter over popcorn. Boxes, bags, or buckets are the different types of popcorn equipment used to hold popcorn. Metal or plastic scoops are accessories sold by most popcorn supply companies for use in scooping popcorn into containers. Other types of equipment include scoops for adding popcorn to pop into machines.
Popcorn equipment for home kitchens often differs from equipment used commercially or in residential theaters. Packs of popping corn are usually smaller as are non-plants. Rather than a countertop model of poppers, some people prefer to purchase microwaveable popcorn bags. Some of these have different types of seasoning flavors or packets of butter to use on the popcorn.
There are many different models of home cooking popcorn that are designed for over-the-counter use. Some of these are hot air types, while others require oil to pop the popcorn. Poppers may include bowls in their design or may need a bowl to be provided.
