Cretors Kettle Popcorn Machines

The Diplomat -- C. Cretors & Co.'s 32-ounce, "old-fashioned" suspended kettle popcorn machines -- produces salt and sweet popcorn to suit most tastes, the company reported. A lift-up kettle cover design maximizes corn expansion and the stainless steel or nickel-plated, all-steel kettles are easy to clean. The "cornditioner" forces hot air through the popcorn to keep it dry and crisp, while a single thermostat controls temperature for optimum popping. The kettle popper has an automatic oil pump and two-stage charcoal exhaust. Sizes include 20 to 60 ounces, with dimensions of 3 to 6 feet.
