1. Be careful to buy real spherical popping corn, it doesn’t matter if it’s imported or domestic.
Just don't buy fakes.
2. Pay attention to the heating temperature.
Making spherical popcorn requires heating the corn kernels to above 200 degrees, and the heating temperature of the pot is above 300 degrees. If the burner is not suitable or of poor quality, it cannot be made; 3. Non-stick pans will be coated quickly under the high temperature of gas heating.
If it falls off, it will become a super sticky pan; and the popcorn machine modified from a pressure cooker will quickly deform under high temperature dry frying.
Both machines have extremely short service lives, and novice users are unaware of these issues.
So in summary, to make spherical popcorn, you only need to choose a thickened stainless steel pot and use spherical corn, and you can produce it.
There are no requirements for anything else.
For example, the most common ones on the market now are machines modified for non-stick pans.
Under the high temperature of gas heating, the coating quickly peels off, turning it into an extra-stick pan.
The non-stick coating adheres to the popcorn and can be seriously toxic to the human body if eaten.
When heated to more than 200 degrees, the non-stick coating will release toxic gases that can harm the operator and people around the pot. In some popcorn machines modified from pressure cookers, the pot will quickly deform under the high-temperature heating of popcorn.
The pot scale is stuck to the pot body and cannot be brushed or shoveled, causing the pot to get stuck.
Some designs even reveal raw materials.
Aluminum adheres to the popcorn, which can harm customers' health if they eat it.
Large machines are eye-catching in appearance, but consume a lot of energy and have low efficiency.
More than one-third of the gas used to process a pot is wasted. The speed is slow and the output is not large, because no matter how big the pot is, only a small part of the bottom of the pot is heated.
The cost of using this kind of machine is too high and the waste is serious.
