Kernels have a little bit of water inside of them that helps to make them pop. When the kernels begin to cook, the water inside of the kernels will turn into steam and expand the kernels.

How long can you put popcorn in a microwave and not let it get hot but let it all pop?

You can't. They purposely add kernals to the bag that won't pop. So you will never have a bag that fully completely pops. Watched it on foodnetwork...unfortunately, that's life:(


Why does old popcorn pop less kernals than new popcorn?

Popcorn pops because when u heat it up water inside the kernals evaporates and expands causing the kernal to explode. Old popcorn has less moisture inside of it causing less kernals to pop.

Does all popcorn pop white?

There is a naturally occuring variety of pink popcorn kernals (called "strawberry popcorn", due to the colour as opposed to the taste). However I do not know if the kernals remain pink when popped. I have not heard of other naturally occuring colours of popcorn, but I expect you could just throw some food colouring onto regular popcorn and get a decent result.
