Popcorn Portion Pack Guide

What size portion pack should I buy?
The typical service is 1 ounce of popcorn. . . still, if you like popcorn, 1 ounce isn't much.  A family of 5 can typically consume an 8 ounce package.  Smaller gatherings would warrant the 4 ounce packet or the 2.5 ounce pack, while the 12 ounce pack is great for football Sundays with your gang or movie night with some neighborhood kids thrown into the mix.  
 

How much popcorn does each pack make?

2.5 Ounce Portion Pack:  Makes up to 1 gallon per cycle.  Serves 1-2.

4 Ounce Portion Pack:  Makes about 5 quarts per cycle.  Serves 2-4.

6 Ounce Portion Pack:  Makes about 7.5 quarts per cycle.  Serves 4-8.

8 Ounce Portion Pack:  Makes about 10 quarts per cycle.  Serves 5-10.

12 Ounce Portion Pack:  Makes about 15 quarts per cycle.  Serves 10-15.

Can I use a 2.5 ounce, 4 ounce or 6 ounce pouch in an 8 ounce kettle?
YES, it is OK to use a smaller portion packs in an 8 ounce kettle.  In fact, we recommend it if you don't need that much corn.

Can I use a 12 ounce pouch in an 8 ounce kettle?
YES, you can...just keep an eye on the popping and give the kettle a little more time to complete its cycle to make sure that all of your kernels are popped.
 

How should I store my popcorn?

Without moisture your popcorn can't pop.  If left uncovered you can lose 1% moisture on a hot day. This doesn't sound like much but if you lose 3% your popcorn will be "unpoppable".  GNP has taken the guess work out of the popping and guarantees freshness.  Our exclusive "sealing system" vacuum seals every pack individually to provide a shelf life that cannot be beat.  Please note, we recommend you store your portion packs in a cool, dry place.
