Popcorn
Popcorn is a variety of corn that is dehydrated and heated. When heated, pressure builds and the kernel pops open. Buttered popcorn is commonly associated with trips to the movie theater. It is also made in many other varieties such as caramel and cheddar.

Grab something like a metal spatula and scrape away.

Or you can just get both and try them out?
What kind of popcorn can a hamster eat?
Yes if you feed it popcorn it will die a slow and painful death.......
Do not feed your hamster popcorn
What companies manufacture microwave popcorn?
Microwave popcorn is a convenience food that consists of unpopped popcorn kernels packaged in such a way as to be popped in the microwave. There are many companies that manufacture microwave popcorn, such as Orville Redenbacher and Act II Popcorn.
Which has more inertia a bag of popcorn or books?
i would guess books, since books is plural, while 'a bag of popcorn' is not?
How much popcorn is needed to feed 150 people?
It depends on how much popcorn your going to allow each person.
Think about the serving size needed to feed one person, perhaps 1 cup per person? Then multiply by 150 to get the total amount. Remember some people will eat more than just 1 cup some will eat less so it should balance out. I have found that when feeding a large group of people it is ALWAYS better to make too much and have leftovers than to have to tell your guests that you have run out of something.
What are the factors that influence popcorn?
Initially it soil conditions, water, sun, heat and the influence of birds and insects. Later its point of harvest within the growth cycle, separation and transport followed by packaging, storage, self life, price and merchandising product placement (which may be influenced by product positioning, advertising and local promotion). Eventually it's temperature and pressure with water content being the critical factor to it's full expression and genetics and proper preparation to it's ultimate success.
The physics of popcorn popping are quite interesting. In any popcorn popper you use (stove top, microwave or hot air) it works the same way:
- The popcorn kernel is a tough coated seed with a damp internal core of starchy material
- As it is heated the water in the inner part would like to boil but the pressure and containment of the kernel's coat prevents it from doing so.
- Eventually the pressure on the inside gets high enough to rupture the tough coat
- The sudden release of pressure lets the water that was way over boiling point suddenly flash into steam (and taking up a lot more volume in the process)
- This expanding steam froths up the starch into the white popped corn then evaporates into the air
there is water inside that makes it expand
There is a certain amount of moisture in each kernel. When the moisture get heated it bursts open and makes an explosion which turns the hard outter shell inside out and the starch turns into the puffy part of the popcorn.
When the popcorn goes into the microwave, it gets heated up. The water inside begins to boil, and pressure begins to build inside the kernel. Eventually, there is so much pressure, it tears itself inside out, through it's own shell, leaving the heated starch (outside of popcorn we can see) behind.
Popcorn pops because the water inside the kennels heats up and bgins to steam. If the shell has no cracks in it the steam will not come out and it then becoms a pressure cooker inside the shell. The pressure then becomes to much for the shell and it pops into popcorn. Usually around 135 psi.
What is comparable to pops rite popcorn seasoning?
You might try Flavacol. This is a brand that concessionaires use. You can buy it on Amazon, but it does come in a very large container. Good on baked potatoes too. If you have a Gold Medal Products store in your area, it can also be purchased there.
Well, the popcorn will be very hard; in other cases it will be stale. Very stale; matters how long you leave it out like that...
Popcorn pops because the endosperm has a high moisture content. The shell is hard and hold pressure. It is like a mini pressure cooker. When the moisture inside overcomes the shells strength to contain the pressure, the kernel explodes. Water boils at 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the water and oil raises above that point, the water turns to vapor. When it has turned the moisture to vapor, it is gelatinizes the starches in the endosperm causing the hardened starches to start softening up. Then when the water vapor creates enough pressure (about 135 psi) the kernel bursts violently and the water still left in the starches causes it to puff up the insides and thus you get popcorn.
Pressure goes from high to low. Just like electricity goes from positive to the more negatively charged parts (like everything drains towards the ground). If there is a hole in the kernel then all the water vapor that would normally create the pressure would just escape through the path of least resistance there were a hole the kernels moisture content would just evaporate and be released into the air. Eventually then corn kernel would dry out and then just burn.
If you left popcorn in the sun nothing would happen, with or without a hole in the kernel.
As I said, the water content within the kernel has to go above the boiling point of water (212 degrees F) to even start building up any pressure. If you left it in the sun, the kernel would start to lose moisture and over time would dry up to a really hard kernel not useful for much.
Where can you find Garretts Popcorn?
Garrett's Popcorn has retail stores in Chicago and New York. The New York location is at a subway station, and several of the Chicago stores are in airport terminals. They also accept product orders online and by phone.
What phase change is popcorn cooking?
The corn crackles and expands as the water is evaporated by heating - Hence Popcorn.
Is popcorn good to eat while having bad cramps Does it help at all?
I can only tell you how it helped me. I was having my usual intense monthly cramps & I just dipped plain popcorn in hummus and they're gone. It's possibly just from the release of seratonin that carbs give, but either way I feel a million times better.
What month is popcorn eaters month?
April is the month of chocolate eaters hot dog eaters popcorn eaters
Not once it has been dried. Popcorn is a type of grass and grows very tall. The ears of corn contain the seeds of the plant. They can be removed from the plant and planted to make more corn plants. Once it has been dried, it is no longer living and is 'dead.'
Why does my car smell like popcorn after i drive it for a few minutes?
cause you ate popcorn! If the smell bothers you, get air fresheners.
What brand of popcorn pop the most kernels?
Maybe just try kernals cooked on the stove to get the most cooked. But also I do reccommend Orville Redenbachers Movie Theater Butter. :) Its so yummy :))
