steel, copper, then nickel
At C. Cretors and Company,® they know that the secret to popping a better kernel is in making a better kettle. Fortunately for them, it’s something their competitors are apparently not concerned about. You see, other manufacturers make their kettles our of cast aluminum. But we think there’s a better way. Because not only does cast aluminum have a tendency to collect dirt and grease, but it can also warp and even melt under excessive heat.
The Cretors® kettle is superior. First, every Cretors kettle is made of steel. Our 16 through 32-ounce kettles are even cut and assembled by hand. But steel is only the beginning.
After the steel is cleaned and polished, we flash-plate a layer of copper to it. And to the copper we plate an extra-heavy layer of nickel.
Why nickel? It’s extremely hard, long-lasting and after it’s been cleaned and polished again, it makes for a kettle that is very easy to maintain. Easier, as you might have guessed, than a cast aluminum kettle. And when you are cleaning a dirty aluminum kettle, it gets old pretty fast! Especially when you consider that the Cretors kettle opens completely - without obstruction - for easy access. It’s not the simplest way to make a kettle, just the best.
All in all, the Cretors kettle won’t warp, melt or crack like some kettles. And it’s more resistant to corrosion and much easier to maintain, look clean, and polished as you show off your eye-catching addition to your home theater or game room.
What’s more, the Cretors kettle is thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top. Unlike those aluminum kettles that get very hot everywhere, the Cretors kettle stays hot at the bottom, where the kernels are, and cooler at the top, where the already popped ones are. So the corn doesn’t get dry, or shrink. Which means not only does a Cretors kettle make better popcorn, it makes better sense as well.
