Popcorn!!!

28 July 2010 in Delicious!

Popcorn may be one of the oldest snacks still consumed.  According to Wikipedia, Popcorn was first discovered thousands of years ago by the Native Americans. The English who came to America in the 16th and 17th centuries learned about popcorn from the Native Americans.  Althought the methods of popping popcorn have changed during the years, the end result is pretty much the same.

Microwave popcorn is the perfect snack for the “now” era we live in. Who has time to prepare a popcorn popper and the cleanup required afterwards? Throw a bag in a microwave, set the time and within minutes you have near perfect popcorn in a disposable bowl.

The old fashioned way to make popcorn is to put kernels in a pan with butter, oil or fat. The heated oil distributes the heat more efficiently and evenly. Thus, it serves as a better catalyst for the “popping effect” of the kernels. Similarly, microwave popcorn combines the kernels and the carrier source of fat in one package. This makes the reaction much more effective.
