How Do You Get Corn To Pop?
To get corn to pop, you need to heat it up quickly and to a high temperature. The moisture inside the kernel heats up and turns into steam, building pressure, and eventually causing the hard shell to burst open, revealing the fluffy white popcorn inside. This can be achieved by placing popcorn kernels in a pot with hot oil or in a microwave-safe container with a lid and microwaving for a few minutes until you hear popping sounds.
