If you would otherwise use a microwave you will not save energy, but you will have a much better tasting popcorn with the air popper that is also healthier. ![]() The hot air then explodes or "pops" the kernel the rest of the way into a light, fluffy thing, which blows up and out of the popper with the same air flow and is caught by a bowl you have hopefully placed under the exit chute.Īir poppers save energy-kinetic (human) and gas or electric, whichever you would otherwise use to make popcorn with if you cooked it over a stove.The heat expands water inside each kernel, cracking their covers, and letting air in through the cracks. Because the air blows through the vents sideways, it makes the kernels spin, evening out their exposure to the heat.The electricity also heats the metal of the tube, which in turn heats the air, which then rises, creating a flow of hot air spinning and rising. Electricity spins a fan under the popper, which pulls in air through vents in the bottom of the tube (in which you've placed kernels of corn). ![]() The actual popping process works as follows: (Yes, popcorn is a gift from Native Americans-one of the many they gave to the world.) The intense heat inside the metal tube makes the popcorn kernels explode, much as their fires used to in olden Native American times. ![]()
