How To Make Popcorn At Home
We love to eat from a microwave, but when we want to watch our favorite movie on the big screen, the only way to do it is with a popcorn machine. That's where I learned that my first success came from. In an attempt to make home-cooked popcorn taste just like its counter part at a mall, I found myself looking for ways to turn my kitchen into something resembling this giant arcade game booth. The results are pretty easy to follow as long as you have space and a steady supply of ingredients. Here's how you can turn your kitchen into the perfect place to enjoy a classic snack.
First thing's first: get some boxes or bags. These will be used to keep the things that will make the next batch of popcorn. It doesn't matter which kind unless it's a small bag of chips (which are good for making sure there isn't any leftovers from before, but not a lot of left over anyway). For the purpose of this experiment, I used cardboard containers with holes in the sides to help air out the box. This makes the popcorn easier to pop because the liquid won't stick around and mess up the top. Also for a more aesthetic presentation, I used a soda bottle for milk. You can also use frozen yogurt containers if you're really keen on being modern, but they will eventually end up getting soggy so I'd recommend sticking with what has been on hand. With a little bit of effort, these boxes can fit into large bags like below. Or even smaller ones like these blue ones pictured above! They're great for quick runs, and if you end up having more than one batch of popcorn, you'll notice a lot of them are still going strong even after three days on the porch.
As far as the ingredients go, you'll need about six cups of water to make the second batch. If you think I'm exaggerating, think again as I tried using half a gallon of water and it ended up tasting very similar. All you need is for someone to come over to take a look so the ingredients aren't hard to spot. There's no reason why you can't add two spoons of cornflakes or rice into the mixture as well. My recommendation is to use regular granulated cornflakes, but you might also want to check out those fancy boxed varieties to use more options in your kitchen without spending that much money (or time) searching for new alternatives!
When the water comes to a boil on the stove, grab some cornflake mix. Then grab some water balloons to add to the mixture as well. Once all of these steps are complete, pour the mixture into your containers. Now all it takes to heat up is two minutes and it'll magically become popping ready. Popcorn should start forming within five to fifteen seconds of cooking. But hey, sometimes things don't happen the way we expect they will. Be prepared because it seems to take longer than that on occasion, so give yourself extra time and have patience! Just like watching a live film takes practice, the best way to become confident in letting your own home watch a flick is by trying it out in real life. Don't wait until movie night to try it because, let me tell you right now, it isn't perfect the moment you see it. Even though it won't blow up in your mouth like it would on the big screens in theaters, these home movies will definitely make for a good popcorn treat for both of you.
