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.

Do I Need a Popcorn Maker?
As long as you use regular popcorn kernels with nothing added to them, it really makes no difference in the taste of the popcorn if you pop it in the microwave or in a popcorn maker. However, if you are using the packets of microwave popcorn that have added flavorings and fat, I would say that plain popcorn tastes better. If you want to make popcorn conveniently but without additives, I would recommend putting about a quarter of a cup of popcorn kernels in a regular brown paper bag along with about a teaspoon of vegetable oil and using that to pop the popcorn in the microwave instead of the microwave popcorn bags from the grocery store. You simply add the kernels and oil in the bag, seal it up tightly, then microwave for two to three minutes, until you hear the kernels stop popping. This is significantly healthier, cheaper, and better-tasting than store-bought popcorn.
