An integrated popcorn kettle is disclosed which is used in conjunction with a popcorn machine. The popcorn kettle has a cooking chamber which has a hinged lid. A motor chamber is located under the cooking chamber. An electrical motor is located in the motor chamber and rotates an agitator in the cooking chamber. The bottom of the cooking chamber has a heating element which is used to cook the popcorn. The motor is actuated to rotate the agitator in order to insure heat distribution for the popcorn. The entire popcorn kettle including the motor chamber and the cooking chamber may be pivoted as a unit in order to dump out the finished popcorn. In this configuration, no extra mechanical parts are needed to suspend the agitator into the kettle.
