Can i rinse these with water before popping them in hot air popper?

You could rinse them but make sure they are dried completely before popping them.

Don't know why you would want to rinse the kernels but I guess you could. I would not soak them because they could absorb water and they would not have the right moisture content. Popcorn needs a 14% moisture for best results.

I would suppose so. I would towel them off real quick though as you don't want to get a whole lot of water in your air popper chamber. This popcorn also pops real fast by the way.

Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well! The best, easiest & safest way to clean the entire popper is to use baking soda on a damp cloth! It safely removes the sticky residue from the interior walls as well as the kettle. To properly clean the kettle, of course, remove it according to directions & be sure to NOT immerse it in water. A soft toothbrush coated with a paste of baking soda & water helps remove sticky buildup from the kettle & lid. Our popper looks like new! I would not recommend using any type of chemical solution/wipes, such as Clorox wipes...baking soda is totally non-toxic. Cleaning IS easy, & you do need to clean the kettle as well!

I have not tried but I don't see why you couldn't as the hot plate has aNon stick surface. Anything really sticky might be a pain to clean off the plastic bowl but not impossible. I love this popper. Easy to use and makes great popcorn.

these are not stainless steel so you cannot wash them with water. You will receive a manual that indicates how you must do the cleaning, you just need to use a dry cloth

No...they are not to be washed in hot water. I rinse mine out with warm water; then I refill and refrigerate until I am ready to carbonate and add flavoring.

I'm not sure , I've never really cleaned them with soap and water . I just brush them on a wet antibacterial wipe after a few uses . considering they aren't the best made brushes wetting them might ruin them .

You need A LOT of water to rinse these before cooking/heating up. Might be able to rinse and reseal them in plain water..but would be heavy in backpack compared to freeze-dried.

I just wrap mine in wax paper! or ziplock, or eat them strait from the Pop Maker!

Sure, probably boiling them would do it, also washing really well with hot soapy water and a pipe cleaner would do it.

If you clean when it's done for the day with a soapy washcloth, dry it with paper towels, you'll keep it looking like new. It's not that hard, it takes maybe 3 minutes and I'm done. ALWAYS take out the popper, wash the electric cord and the outside case of the popper (with a soapy cloth you wring out completely) and you won't get a buildup.

That hasn't been a problem. I have done that. I used a paper towel to wipe out the base and the top of the popper to remove any hulls before continuing with a second batch.

Should be fine as a "dunk and rinse" as long as you don't let them sit and boil around. They may get a little softer, so I'd try to avoid deforming them until they've cooled for a few seconds (otherwise they make stay a bit warped). Hope this helps.

Yes, soak part of the neck and the cap in hot/boiling water for 10 minutes. Open as usually. Snip/slice off the remaining plastic stubs to make opening and closing easier. If you have hard water use a vinegar solution as a cleaning liquid or occasionally pour 1/4 cup vinegar into bottle and jet a few times, let sit, and repeat. Vinegar will keep the nozzles from getting clogged up.

I don't rinse them, first, you could, it wouldn't hurt anything. I store them in a plastic bag in the fridge, they last a very long time.

i would sterilize them. i boiled water and then i let the instruments sit in the water for a minute. i also dipped each of them in rubbing alcohol. this is not an official recommendation, i am not a professional, but this is what i did.

I sprinkle it on microwave pop corn so i don't see why you couldn't put it on hot air popcorn. But if you spray your popcorn with a little oil after popping, the flavacol will stick to the popcorn.

Put in 2 tablespoon oil, one cup popcorn and one teaspoon flavacol in popper. Add more flavacol after popping if needed.
