Why won't the popcorn pop?

Popcorn has always been one of people's favorite snacks, and it is the most frequently appearing snack in public places such as cinemas. This delicious snack tastes fresh, sweet and has very high calorie and other nutritional value. However, there are certain skills in making popcorn, otherwise it is easy to make the corn mushy or fail to pop. Let’s take a look at why popcorn won’t pop.

It may be that there is not enough time, or the temperature is not high enough. Popcorn is a puffed food that is made by exploding corn at high temperatures. It is very popular among young people and can be used as a daily snack or eaten while watching a movie. Popcorn comes in many unexpected variations, from the traditional version with just salt and a little melted butter, to the sweet caramel version, and the perfect combination with Gorgonzola cheese. Popcorn makes a surprising snack to go with alcohol, and makes a fun treat at a kid's birthday party using this awesome recipe.

Here are some better methods:

1. A small amount of cooking oil (one-third of the amount for cooking), a handful of corn kernels (small corn kernels used for popcorn, available at farmers' markets where grains are sold), and a spoonful of sugar. A dollop of butter.

1. Pour cooking oil, butter and sugar into an ordinary wok (the wok must have a lid), heat it, and put the corn kernels into the wok. Stir with a spatula so that all the corn kernels are coated with oil. Then keep shaking the wok gently to allow the corn kernels to roll gently in the wok and be heated evenly.

3. Soon, the corn kernels begin to turn white and the surface begins to swell and become round. Keep shaking the wok gently and you will find a small white flower bursting from a kernel of corn. At this time, cover the pot and don't forget to shake the wok. You will soon hear the ping-pong sound of the popping popcorn hitting the lid. After about 2 minutes, the popping sound will stop.

4. Open the lid of the pot and you will find that a handful of corn kernels have turned into a pot of white popcorn.

5. The popcorn made in this way is very, very fragrant because a little bit of butter is used, and the syrup is also golden yellow and very crispy. It is more fragrant than the ones bought outside, and there are no unsafe ingredients in it.
