1. Capacity analysis of the 2.5-ounce Tabletop Kettle Popcorn Maker
The capacity of the 2.5-ounce tabletop kettle popcorn maker is 2.5 ounces (about 70.9 grams) of corn kernels, which means that it can handle about 2.5 ounces of unpopped corn kernels each time. Depending on the different corn varieties and the degree of popcorn expansion, 2.5 ounces of corn kernels can make about 7 to 8 cups of popcorn.
2. Popcorn demand for small parties
"Small parties" usually refer to family gatherings, friend gatherings, or birthday parties with a small number of participants, with a number of people roughly between 5-10. On such occasions, popcorn is generally served with other snacks as a relaxing snack. Asuming that each person consumes 1-2 cups of popcorn, you may need 10 to 20 cups of popcorn for a party of 10 people.
Based on the amount of popcorn produced each time by the 2.5-ounce tabletop kettle popcorn maker, a machine can only meet the needs of 3-4 people at at a time. If it is a small party with more than 10 people, then making 2.5 ounces of corn kernels at a time is obviously not enough to provide enough popcorn.
3. Solutions to adapt to small parties
Although the capacity of the 2.5-ounce tabletop kettle popcorn maker may not be enough for larger parties, it can still adapt to some small parties, especially occasions with fewer people or shorter parties. Here are a few usage solutions to adapt to small parties:
Multiple production: If you have the time and patience, you can make popcorn in batches according to the size of the party. After making 2.5 ounces of corn kernels each time, wait a few minutes for the machine to cool down slightly before making the next batch. This can meet the needs of more people.
Pairing with other snacks: If the party is short, you can choose to pair popcorn with other snacks to provide guests with a diverse snack experience. In this case, the 2.5-ounce capacity popcorn machine can still provide a good amount of popcorn, and other snacks make up for the lack of popcorn.
Add more machines: If you want to provide popcorn more efficiently during the party, you can consider purchasing multiple 2.5-ounce tabletop kettle popcorn makers. In this way, more popcorn can be made in the same time, ensuring that every guest can enjoy fresh popcorn.
