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.
What is in popcorn that makes it pop?
Believe it or not, most hard popcorn kernels have tiny bits of water inside. When these kernels are heated, the water gradually expands and turns into steam. At a certain point, the increasing steam can no longer be contained inside each kernel and explodes through the hard coating, causing a pop. The steam also cooks the starchy material inside kernels, turning it into the fluffy stuff we know as popcorn. Why don't some kernels pop? Such duds probably don't have enough water inside to pop them. From the Kid Wiki Answers
