When I went to the launch of James Wong’s Homegrown Revolution seed range last year, I was given a small sample of popcorn ‘Fiesta’ – a multicoloured popcorn to try. It’s taken a while, but we got round to popping thresher machine it last night :)
Ryan thresher machine is a popcorn veteran, and has a sure-fire technique for perfect popping. He puts a thin layer of vegetable oil in the bottom of a heavy pan (for which there is a well-fitting lid). He puts the pan over a high heat, with one or two popcorn kernels in the bottom. And the lid on. When the kernels pop, he takes it off the heat for 30 seconds thresher machine – to allow the oil temperature to even out (he says). Then he throws in the rest of the kernels, puts the lid back on and whacks it back on the heat.
Popping commences. thresher machine The pan is shaken, at intervals, to move all the unpopped kernels to the bottom. After several shakes, if there haven’t been any pops for a few seconds then it’s time to take it off the heat (not all of the kernels will pop) and let it cool down a bit before you take the lid off. It’s not that flying popcorn kernels will do much damage (although the unpopped ones can get very hot), but they do make a big mess.
The verdict is that Fiesta makes very nice popcorn, so I will be trying to grow my own on the allotment next year. If you fancy a bit of multicoloured popping too, you can buy seeds online from Suttons thresher machine , or look out for one of their Homegrown Revolution seed stands at your local garden centre. thresher machine I’ve also always fancied trying Strawberry popcorn , so that’s still on the cards for the future. Victoriana Nursery Gardens have advice on their website on harvesting, drying and popping sweetcorn .
Wish I could like popcorn – low calorie, easy (especially with a popcorn maker)- but I’m afraid it joins rice cakes on my list of foods as a substitute for cardboard. Pretty kernels, thresher machine though.
I grow strawberry popcorn (near the Great Lakes in the U.S.) and it’s quite delightful. Mine doesn’t get too big, but we still manage to get enough for a winter’s worth of popcorn from my little patch. It kind of looks like the pink kernels in your picture.
