Popcorn Makers Add A Excitement To Any Movie Night

By Matthew Penrod

Since the start of the entertainment era, popcorn makers have been used to make a great munchie. Popcorn has been a great snack that was invented by the Native Americans. This creation most likely happened when kernels were accidentally thrown into an open fire. Then it was discovered that this popping sound had a great taste.

After the caveman style method of popping corn faded out. The next phase of popcorn making was by putting kernels into a pan and using the stove top. Some decided to drizzle butter over the finished batch of popcorn. Others allowed the kernels to be submerged in butter before popping. Innovative individuals even added cheese or caramel to the popcorn.

Another old method of making popcorn is by using an electric pop corn maker. Some of these are equipped with a small container on the top. This container adds butter while the kernels are popping. This type of maker ensures all the popcorn gets buttered evenly. These types of electric popcorn poppers are available in canister style. The material used to make these can be metal or plastic.

Typically, the industrial pop corn makers do make the best popcorn. If a person is trying to match the taste of this popcorn while at home, their work is cut out for them. There are types of packaged popcorn that can be purchased labeled "movie theater popcorn", however the only way to really match this type of treat is to make a very large batch. Most people do not have these in the home, which is the reason people still visit the movie theater.

One less popular method of popcorn making used to be completely experimental, but more and more people are doing it know. This is the solar powered popcorn maker. While constructing a solar powered popcorn maker, a person just makes a funnel out of card board that can be closed to fit inside the steel container that holds the kernels. Then the funnel gets wrapped in tin foil and set in the sun. Use heavy thermo gloves while using this method, the funnel reaches degrees that will burn the skin easily.

The bag kernels that are used in most popcorn makers can be bought in bags according to weight. In most cases, the kernels are packaged in one pound or greater bags. Storing the unpopped kernels does not become a problem, because the kernels take a long period of time to get stale. Unlike, the already popped popcorn.

New household popcorn makers generally do not take the time of older popcorn makers. Sometimes through perfection takes time. Keep this in mind while evaluating your method of making popcorn. Decide which is better and stick with it. Sometimes new things are not as reliable as the old appliances. Advice given, do not change a tried and true method of making popcorn, unless the old maker wears old or breaks. Then the old popcorn makers cannot be found on a shelf of a department store. So you will have to look at auctions or yard sales in order to replace your old popcorn maker.

Eating popcorn has always been popular and always will be. This snack brings families together and always will remain a family tradition.
