Does a popcorn machine require much maintenance?
Minimal maintenance is required. One of the biggest myths about owning a “theater style” machine is that they are difficult to clean. This is not the case. The only real cleaning that is required is for you to wipe off the excess oil from the kettle after you finish popping–a damp cloth will do the trick. All GAP machine models are equipped with exclusive “easy move” removable kettles. The kettle can be removed from the machine and any carbon build-up on the kettle can quickly and easily be removed with “Fantastic Orange”. It works great for the glass as well. The product is available in any grocery store, is safe, inexpensive, and simple to use. You can also remove the stainless steel trays and run them through a dishwasher.
