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.
popcorn that is air popped of course.
Popcorn popped from a popcorn machine is much better than popcorn popped in a microwave.

The type of popcorn does not matter for a popcorn popper. Just make sure that it says on the package that it is meant to be popped in a popcorn popper.
Half a cup of popcorn kernels typically yields about 1.5 to 2 quarts of popped popcorn, depending on the popping method and the specific type of kernels used. This is because popcorn expands significantly when heated, roughly multiplying its volume by 3 to 4 times.
The number of popped popcorn kernels in 5 cups can vary depending on the size of the popped popcorn, but on average, one cup of popped popcorn contains about 30 to 40 kernels. Therefore, in 5 cups, you would typically find around 150 to 200 popped kernels. Keep in mind that this is an estimate, as the actual number can fluctuate based on how the popcorn was popped and the specific variety used.
