In the market, you can see many different popcorn,butterfly, mushroom, and with lot of flavorings, chocolate, caramel,salty,chili,cheese etc. but do you know how to get the popcorn?
Generally, popcorn pops when it is heated to the right and suitable temperature.

Popping with oil is a more and more popular and easy way to get the popcorn for industrial or at home. To pop popcorn in oil, corn and oil are placed in a container in a ratio of three parts corn and one part oil by volume. When the corn and oil reach the proper temperature, the corn begins to pop. Enough heat needs to be applied to heat the corn to approximately 180-200°C within about three minutes. At this time the corn will pop and expand to its greatest volume. The time cycle may be adjusted by either changing the heat rate or, if the heat rate is fixed, by increasing or decreasing the amount of corn and oil put into the cooking mixer. During the popping process the corn and oil must be agitated to produce an even transfer of heat. In industrial machinery, a motor turns an agitator on the bottom of the popper kettle.
Please do not worry about the oil is difficult for you to purchase, it is not special oil, can be coconut oil,corn oil,palm oil etc.
Popping corn in oil is probably the simplest snack production process available and permits the manufacture of the end product at the point of purchase.
