Whirley-Pop's smart design ensures constant motion and even heat distribution, which gives you fluffy, perfectly popped corn every time and fewer unpopped kernels. If you don't have a Whirley Pop ...
Some popcorn is flawed and will not pop because of possible damage to the shell, which allows the steam to escape. These unpopped kernels are known as "old maids" or "spinsters". [2] An early susceptor popcorn bag design was patented by the American company General Mills in 1981 (US Patent #4,267,420). [3]
Producers and sellers of popcorn consider two major factors in evaluating the quality of popcorn: what percentage of the kernels will pop, and how much each popped kernel expands. Expansion is an important factor to both the consumer and vendor. For the consumer, larger pieces of popcorn tend to be more tender and are associated with higher ...

Popcorn is able to pop because its kernels have a hard moisture-sealed hull and a dense starchy interior. Pressure builds inside the kernel, and a small explosion (or "pop") is the end result.
From E. coli traced to slivered onions on McDonald's Quarter Pounders to mass recalls of frozen waffles due to listeria risk, foodborne illness seems ever-present in the headlines.
The batter is then formed into shapes then toasted and/or extruded. This causes them to rise, but not puff or pop. Puffed grains can be healthful if plain, but when other ingredients are mixed with them they may lose some of their health benefits. [1] Puffed grains are popular as breakfast cereals and in the form of rice cakes. While it is easy ...
A popcorn maker (also called a popcorn popper) is a machine used to pop corn.
