Coming to the cinema to marvel at the new creation of cinema, you observe two equal in size queues: one at the ticket office for tickets, and the second - behind popcorn. On the one hand, it's a little annoying when the film has not yet started, and around the hall a crunch is already heard, and on the other - what kind of cinema without popcorn? Real moviegoers even watching the movie at home on the couch, do not leave themselves without this delicacy.
But how to cook popcorn at home, fry in a frying pan or cook it in a microwave oven? Here, choose yourself, popcorn can be made both on the stove, and cook in microwave, but in the microwave will get faster. And since we are all constantly in a hurry, we will do popcorn in a microwave oven.
How to make popcorn in a microwave?
Here, too, everything is not so simple, at least there are two approaches to cooking popcorn. You can buy popcorn for cooking in a microwave in a paper bag, with the right taste, or you can get special grains for popcorn. When using the second method, it is necessary to remember that not all corn kernels are suitable for popcorn, but only of a special variety. So fry corn, grown on a private plot is useless. Since we do not always choose the easiest way, then consider both ways of making popcorn in a microwave oven.
- So, consider the case when you still got a special grain for popcorn and now you are thinking about what to do with it further. More precisely, what to do is clear - to fry popcorn, but how it needs clarification. To begin with, we determine the dosage - only 2 tablespoons of grains will be taken in the volume of 1.14 l. So do not be greedy, but better to start to cook quite a bit. Another preparation requires a glass dish for a microwave oven with a lid and oil (vegetable or melted cream). Although it is believed that real popcorn is cooked without butter, but in a microwave oven butter can give popcorn a unique taste. Pour the popcorn into the glass pan into one layer, add the oil and put it in the microwave. We cook at full power for 4 minutes. The readiness of popcorn will help you to identify sensitive ears - as soon as the claps coming from the microwave become rare, then popcorn is ready. Hot popcorn is seasoned with seasonings and salt, in principle it is possible to salt even before installation in the oven, but the rest of the seasoning is undesirable - under the influence of high temperatures they lose their properties. And if there is a desire to make a sweet popcorn in the microwave, then sugar powder is added to it also after cooking.
- If you went on the path of least resistance and bought a packet of popcorn intended for processing in a microwave oven, then it's still easier -
You need to get a paper bag and follow the instructions on the package. Remove the packaging carefully, so as not to break the seal, otherwise the seeds will not open all. To improve the detection of grains, you can pre-heat the stove with a glass of water put into it. We place the package in the microwave in a picture up, and also look, so that the package does not touch the walls of the furnace, otherwise the grains will warm up unevenly, and the part will be undisclosed, and part of the burnt. Preparing popcorn at maximum power for 3 minutes, as soon as the crackling subsides - popcorn is ready. It remains only to remove the packet from the stove, shake it lightly and open it. If some of the grains are still uncovered, then next time the package will need to be placed higher.
