Finest Popcorn Results: Use A Hot Air Popper

Who is able to withstand a bowl of fresh popcorn? It is high in fibers and you may add more flavour by adding butter, salt or herbs. Despite the fact that most people fix popcorn using the microwave -this could be the easiest method- there are a few disadvantages to that: a higher calorie count and it is more expensive. You will find an excellent alternative: a hot air popper.

Where microwave corn popcorn poppers generally work with oil, hot air poppers permit absolutely oil-free use. As you would have guessed, these poppers use hot air to cook the kernels.

Of course, there are several precautions that you should take: if you decide you leave a hot air popper alone it would throw out a small number of blistering-hot kernels. But when during the first thirty seconds of operating you hold it and additionally tilt it back just a bit, it won't. When any kernel has popped you may set it down again.

Making use of a hot air popper you don't need to make use of oil, which in turn results in much lower calorie popcorn than when you are making use of oil (microwave or stove popper). I'll tell you a technique that will help make the popcorn more tasty: shop for a spray can of cooking oil and as soon as the popcorn is ready spray it alternately with the cooking oil and with (a modest bit) of salt. The cooking oil carries really few calories but.. it does make the salt stick to the popcorn!

Enterntaining trick with your popper

You'll have fun with your popper and impress the youngsters while doing so. Certainly there are often a number of corn kernels left on the bottom that did not pop. And every time, 1 or 2 will certainly go off just a couple of seconds after you pull the plug. Consequently, this is what you do: pull out the plug, slowly raise your index finger and point, magically, at the popper. Bang! Blow smoke off your imaginary rifle barrel ;)

Make the best popcorn

This will likely require some extra effort, however the rewards are very well worth it I think!

Don't forget: for no reason leave the machine unattended

1. Rather than pouring the popcorn in the chilled appliance pre-heat it first simply by plugging it in for about 3 minutes, with the top completely off! While waiting, put popcorn kernels in the measuring container and prepare some drinks.

a. Following the preheating put the kernels in and place the top on but do not put the measuring cup on the top! If you perform it this way the corn kernels won't get into the bowl however they are going to circulate and the bowl will remain cool.

b. Right after the earliest pop (this usually takes about one minute), put the measuring container on top rapidly. The majority of the corn kernels will probably pop swiftly after this.

c. If popcorn starts to build up (ie not blown into the bowl) it will certainly begin to burn. You may avoid this by getting the cold top and shaking the appliance (at a moderate angle) until eventually the corn kernels drop into the bowl again and begin blowing in on their own.

d. Serve the popcorn with your own most liked topping!
