Does a microwave have to spin to cook popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, a microwave doesn't have to spin to cook popcorn. While some microwave models have a turntable that rotates to ensure even cooking, it's not a requirement for cooking popcorn. Additionally, some advanced microwaves with sensor cooking technology can detect when the popcorn is ready based on humidity levels, providing optimal results without the need for rotation.

What temperature is good for cooking popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Around 180 to 185°C is the perfect temperature for cooking popcorn. This temperature allows the kernels to heat up fast and uniformly, which breaks the hard shell of the kernel and causes the moisture inside to expand swiftly and produce fluffy, tasty popcorn. It's essential to remember that the precise temperature may change somewhat based on whether you pop the popcorn in the microwave, on the stovetop, or with an air popper.

Can geese eat popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Geese have no teeth but a beak with a serrated edge that acts like teeth. While the edge works well with plants and soft insects it does not work well with popcorn. Do not feed them popcorn because they can choke.

If you want to feed your Canadas go the pet store and get them cracked corn. If they don't respond to that they will eat WHOLE WHEAT bread. BUT MAKE SURE YOU RIP THE SLICES INTO LITTLE PEA SIZED PIECES AND TOSS THEM INTO THE POND SO THEY ARE MOIST. Canadas eat very fast (they almost swallow their food) and smaller, wet pieces will swallow much easier than dry white bread and not cause the bird to choke.

If you do feed them, watch how fast they are eating the food and make sure they swallow it before you give them more.

Can you cook microwave popcorn on a stove?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes you can. Place a large pot on the stove and turn the temperature to medium. Once the pot has heated up, cut the popcorn package and empty contents in to hot pan. Wait till you hear the first pops and then start moving the pan in circles over the burner, agitating to move around the kernels and prevent burning. You will know when it is done when the popping stops, remove from the stove and enjoy!

Is it safe for kittens to eat popcorn?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I cannot imagine popcorn will kill a cat if eats a few, but like with any food there is a small risk of choking, or if fed too often it could have detrimental effects on the cat's health. Too much sugar or salt can harm a cat, so it is not ideal to feed a cat popcorn, not even as a treat.

Does popcorn have corn in them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Popcorn is a type of corn. Most popping corn is specifically grown for that purpose using strains which exhibit good popping characteristics.

To pop, the kernels need to have a hard shell which is impervious to moisture. When heated, the moisture trapped inside turns to steam and builds up pressure, eventually rupturing the shell and turning the starchy contents into a foam, which rapidly cools and sets into the familiar puffy "popcorn".
