Popcorn is a delicacy that is popular with people of absolutely any age. During a walk in the park, visiting a cinema or public events, you can almost always see special machines selling corn products. You can make real popcorn at home using a regular multicooker.
We select the ingredients
Please note that special corn kernels must be purchased for making popcorn at home. Typically, manufacturers make labels on the packaging - "rice corn", "popcorn corn" or simply "popcorn".
To make homemade popcorn, you only need two main ingredients - corn and a few teaspoons of vegetable oil. You can also make many culinary experiments with your multicooker by making sweet, salty, fruity, or caramel popcorn. Additional ingredients can be selected according to your preference.
Cooking process
Pour a small amount of vegetable oil at the bottom of the multicooker container. For a handful of corn, for example, you only need two teaspoons. Next, add the main ingredient - rice corn. Note that it is best to cook the popcorn in small portions. Otherwise, not all seeds can open.
On the multicooker, set the "soup" mode. This function is provided by almost all models. The lid of the multicooker must be tightly closed when making popcorn. There is no specific cooking time for the dish, its readiness can be determined by the end of the "claps".
Pour the finished popcorn into a separate container. Remove any unopened kernels, if any, and cool slightly. There are several experiments you can do with hot popcorn.
Additional ingredients
While the popcorn is hot, you can mix it with powdered sugar or salt. If powdered sugar is not on hand, you can use regular sugar or grind it in a coffee grinder.
Multicooker popcorn can be turned into a caramel treat. To do this, melt the cake caramel and stir it into the cooked rice corn kernels. If the popcorn is cold, then it is better to lightly warm it up in a regular frying pan.
You can replace salt, icing sugar and caramel with any other ingredients - vanilla sugar, spices, syrups, or even melted chocolate. For example, popcorn sprinkled with several types of melted chocolate - milk, white and bitter - will become an original dish. Optionally, you can make colorful popcorn using icing as an addition. You can find similar mixes in almost any candy store or baking ingredients section.
