Popping a corn kernel typically takes about 2 to 3 minutes in a microwave or on the stovetop, depending on the heat source and method used. Once the kernel reaches a temperature of around 180°C (356°F), the moisture inside turns to steam, causing the kernel to explode. The popping sound you hear occurs as the kernel rapidly expands and turns inside out. It's important to listen for the popping to slow down, which indicates that most of the kernels have popped.
What else can I help you with?
Why does pop corn pop in a fridge?
freezes the moisture inside the kernel
What is popcorns?
Popcorn is formed when a kernel gets heated. The kernel explodes and then turns inside-out.
Will putting a kernel next to a cell phone and then calling it pop the pop corn?
yes because the movement of the cell phone goes throught the pop corn and makes it vibrate, it enough to make pop coorn pop
How does the heat make kernals pop?
Inside each kernel of pop corn is a minute amount of moisture (water), when the kernel gets really hot, the moisture tries to expand into steam and the tight skin of the kernel pops open, spreading the contents.
How does seeesd turn into popcorn?
Inside each kernel of pop corn there is a very small amount of water. When the kernels get hot the water expanded as steam and explodes the kernel.
Why does a corn pops?
most "dry" corn will pop. it is actually the moisture trapped in the corn that makes it pop. the corn is heated turning the moisture into steam. onces the steam builds enough pressure the corn pops. commercial popcorn is conditioned for optimum moisture levels and is grown to pop in a certain way.
Is popcorn the same crop as sweet corn?
No. Corn-on-the-cob is sweet corn, which is genetically different from popcorn. Both are different from field corn used for livestock feed, and flint corn used for making corn chips. While they are all the same genus and species, Zea mays, they are different subspecies and cultivars.
What is the temperature for cooking popcorn?
Microwaves don't use heat to pop corn or make anything hot. They use microwaves to excite the molecules of the corn which causes heat from friction inside each kernel of corn, making the moisture inside the kernel expand and pop the corn.
If you poke a hole through a popcorn kernel will it pop more quickly?
No, you'll ruin the kernel and it won't pop.
Can you make popcorn from a candle?
yes but it takes awile ..................................... No, a candle does not produce enough heat to pop corn. Of course, some silly kid might hold a single kernel in a candle flame long enough for it to pop, but that kid could end up with scorched fingers.
Is popcorn a nut?
Popcorn is a type of sweet corn which has a little more moisture than average. When heated, the water boils into steam and the hull of the corn kernel ruptures explosively. That's the "pop!" part of the popcorn.
What does the energy stored in the kernels of corn change into when the energy as the kernels move inside the popcorn popper?
Corn does not pop due to stored energy. There is moisture inside the hard kernel of corn. When heated, the heat changes that to steam, which expands, and blows open the kernel. Heat is transformed to mechanical energy- but the heat energy comes from outside, not inside.
