Maybe try a different popper? We have a Panasonic 1,300 watt unit. I
picked up a $8.00 popper in Target last year. I put the prescribed
amount in the popper, set full power (10) and 3 minutes. I circle back
when the popping slows and stop when popping stops. There is no burning
and only a few unpopped kernals.
