DUMPING BATCH
Showing the easy way
In regard to swinging the kettle to dump the batch. Pop-corn kettle ([Stock No. 2004-2]) is not heavy, weighing but fourteen and one-half pounds, and with the pop-corn batch in it, it weighs but a few pounds more. The kettle is swung away from the face thus: take hold of the two handles, swing the kettle underneath from left to right, upward, still keeping the left hand away from yourself and the right hand near you, until the kettle is more than half-way up. Then hold the two handles the same distance away from you. That rotates the kettle upon its center axis while you are swinging up the rest of the way to the top position, at which you stop to dump the batch. You will notice by this motion that the kettle bottom comes nowhere near your face. During the swinging you are moving the kettle so that when you stop the batch falls out right upon the bench or machine just where you want it.
The first two or three times you try this feat, all the pop-corn may not go where you want it, but after that you will have no difficulty.
