Shelling corn is when you harvest the corn seeds, that is, the kernals. This is the same idea as shelling peas. (Shucking corn is what you do when you take the husk off the corn ears. ) First, you have to have corn that is specifically grown for pop corn. Not just any corn will do. Get you corn ears and arrange: a pile of corn ears with leaves removed (shucked), a bowl for the kernels, a dust bin for the empty cobs. Start at one end of the ear, but feel around find and easy place where the kernels are so dried up they WANT to come off. With both hands gripping the ear, twist your hands in opposite directions. Twist mightily until you get a start. Once you have some kernels off it's easier to keep going. Keep twisting the cob in your hands until you have all the good kernels off. Some are probably too small and will make for an unsatisfactory pop. One cob five inches long could provide 1/2 cup or so of kernels.

Can hamsters eat popcorn?
You might want to research it, the kernels in the popcorn is probably not good for them and the casings of the kernels are probably not good either. If you feed it to your hamster, make sure the casings and kernels are not in the popcorn. I would make totally sure, though. I think as long as it's plain it'll be ok.ToniRulez they do sell special corn at the pet store if you take the corn off the cob and put it in the microwave for as long as it says let it cool off and then feed it to your hamsters
How can you reheat unpopped popcorn kernels?
To grow corn from popcorn kernels you must first sterilize them by taking the butter off of them. Then place them in a wet paper towel, using about four kernels for a experiment. Then fold the cloth so that you can see the kernels trough the cloth. Then place them in a small cup and water them frequently and keep up with the results.

How can you make half popped popcorn?
Popcorn is popped by.... Well, first you put corn in a popcorn machine, or, if you don't have one, put it into a pan (with a lid), put it on a stove and start the stove. In a while you'll hear some popping sounds, and, if you want, you can lift the lid and watch the popcorn pop. Then, after a few minutes take the popcorn off the stove and you'll see popcorn. The popcorn is popped because there isn't much air in the pan, right? (That's why you need a lid) and the corn swells up and then...it bursts and is made into...popcorn! Put the popcorn into a bowl, and enjoy! It's OK if there are a few kernels still in the bowl. Don't worry. But still. You can't pop the kernels that are left. They won't pop.

How does corn turn into popcorn?
Actually, popcorn isn't grown popcorn naturally. It is slightly dehydrated corn bits. Then, when you put it in the microwave, it heats the water in it and makes it pop because the water turns into steam, the steam tries to break loose, then it pushes against the skin and POP!
