Little knowledge: the principle of popcorn

Old-fashioned popcorn popper: In the early popcorn processing, corn (multiple grains can be used) was heated in a special container, so that the corn was in a state of high temperature and high pressure, the temperature in the pot kept rising, and the gas pressure in the pot kept increasing. When the temperature rises to a certain extent, the rice grains will gradually soften and most of the water in the rice grains will turn into steam. Because of the high temperature, the pressure of water vapor is great, which makes the softened rice grains expand. But at this time, the pressure inside and outside the rice grain is balanced, so the rice grain will not explode in the pot.

Then, with a bang, the cover of the machine was opened and the corn was suddenly released at normal temperature and pressure. The gas in the pot expands rapidly and the pressure drops rapidly, which increases the pressure difference between the inside and outside of corn kernels, which leads to the rapid expansion of high-pressure steam in corn kernels, which instantly explodes corn kernels into popcorn, and at the same time, the internal structure and properties of corn change.

Nowadays, most of the popcorn is popcorn which is exploded by simply heating corn. The treatment container is no longer an early "converter", so the harm caused by lead is avoided.
