Fragrant and sweet popcorn is loved by adults and children. It is customary to buy it at the cinema in order to enjoy a wonderful delicacy while enjoying watching your favorite movie. Few people know that this dish, prepared at home without chemical additives, is a leader in the content of antioxidants - substances that can remove toxins from our body. But how to quickly cook popcorn in a slow cooker to feed the whole family?
What ingredients will be needed?
For the preparation of goodies, of course, you need corn. You can go the simple way and buy ready-made grains in bags at the store. As a rule, it is written on them: "Corn for popcorn." Such grains easily burst when heated. You can find corn with a different taste and even color. True, popcorn in a slow cooker prepared from such bags will not be useful, as it contains dyes and preservatives. The second option will take you more time. You will have to find special grade corn in the store in advance and dry it well. This variety is called "rice corn." Before making popcorn in a slow cooker, husk the mature grains without touching the base of the ears. From them we will prepare a delicious treat. In addition, you will need three teaspoons of vegetable or olive oil, as well as sugar or caramel. As an option, you can cook salty foods, for example, for your husband. To do this, buy fine salt.
How to make sweet popcorn in a slow cooker?
If you bought ready-made grains, then the package must be opened. Corn grains must be placed in a deep container. To prepare one serving, take no more than a handful of corn, since when heated it very much increases in size. Add vegetable oil and mix foods. Now close the cooker lid and set the soup mode. Press the start button. The grains will burst and a loud crack will be heard. This will last 3-4 minutes. When the crack stops, you can turn off the multicooker. Do not cook a treat for a long time, otherwise the dish will burn. The popcorn in the Redmond slow cooker will turn out to be very tasty if you sprinkle it with powdered sugar or melted caramel. Those who prefer the salty option can sprinkle it with a small amount of fine salt.
Enjoy your meal!
Whether you are preparing popcorn in a pan-cooker Panasonic or Philips (or any other), the most important thing is to choose the right kind of corn. Otherwise, the grains will not burst and increase in size. And instead of crunchy goodies, you get cracked and burnt seeds that are unfit for consumption. If you do everything right, then you don’t have to go to the cinema to watch your favorite movie. After all, delicious fresh popcorn will be right at your place. Experiment, add homemade dyes or various syrups, such as chocolate or raspberry. Surprise your relatives with new non-standard tastes of this usual, but beloved treat. Enjoy your meal!
