sunshine 2 #1 November 20, 2003 Popcorn fascinates me. I mean it's a tiny little kernel that turns into a puffy piece of yumminess!! Phreezone was nice enough to explain the concept of how it pops to me. But now i'm sitting here with a bag of freshly popped microwave popcorn just looking at the puffy delight of it all. And if you say popcorn enough times in a row, it starts to sound funny. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug!

PhreeZone 15 #6 November 20, 2003 The moisture in the core of the kernal is superheated and turned into steam. The steam cooks this seed and the internal pressure builds. Once the internal pressue is higher then the strength of the outside seed wall it will explode. As the seed is exposed to the air temperature it is cooled and the contents of the seed have spread out and started to solidify at that point and the steam is released into the air.

panzwami 0 #8 November 20, 2003 yeah, because I usually pop my popcorn one kernel at a time. Takes a little longer, but you can ensure precision and perfect popping everytime. Matt ----- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 24 #9 November 20, 2003 Quoteperfect popping everytime Good point... and you're sure not to grab a handfull and almost break a tooth on a unpoped one (yes sunny, I'm talking about popcorn now)Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #10 November 20, 2003 I've got the perfect popping time down to the second here at work. I pop for 4min31sec and get the best results. Here's an excerpt from an IM i was having with Phree earlier: Sunny One says: this one kernel half popped Sunny One says: its got like a bit of fluf sticking out of it Eric says: its outter wall was weak and it broke before all the insides was cooked Sunny One says: how many hours have i wasted of yours talking about popcorn?

panzwami 0 #14 November 20, 2003 there is no better way! Microwave varieties, even those with extra butter and salt piled on, cannot compare to popping on the stove with a little sunflower oil.... Matt ----- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine 2 #15 November 20, 2003 Ever since i accidentally started that fire at work, i'm not allowed to go near open flame. I'm lucky i'm still allowed to use the microwave here. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aero04 0 #17 November 20, 2003 You know, I like popcorn. But don't eat it. Not even at the movies. Some chunk always gets stuck between my teeth. It is always a big chunk that gets wedged real good between my teeth so I can't pop it out with my tongue. And it hurts while it just sits there between my teeth. Of course, I never have a toothpick nearby. So popcorn really just hurts to much to eat.Just thought ya'll would like to hear that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
