Popcorn machine is a kind of food equipment for making and producing popcorn. The popcorn machine has been used for a long time. Scientists from Vanderbilt University in the United States and the National Institute of History in Peru found the residue of popcorn and corncob about 3,000 to 6,700 years ago near the northern coast of Peru, which proved that corn flour and popcorn were once the main food of human ancestors living here.
Corn evolved from a weed called Mexican corn, which was widely planted in Mexico about 9000 years ago. Thousands of years later, corn was introduced to South America and gradually evolved into several common varieties in the Andes.
Corn originated in Central America was introduced to China in the16th century. According to records, Zheng He brought this high-yield crop back to the West in the Ming Dynasty. Apart from the United States, China is the most popular corn growing area. Corn is also the tallest grain in the world.
Later, the inventor designed a rice cooker for families who like popcorn. It is said that it only takes 10 minutes to make a large pot of popcorn. At present, many local TV stations in the United States often broadcast the common sense of how to pop popcorn, and also introduce various methods of popping popcorn in fresh air. An expert who frequently appears on TV screens and calls himself "the king of popcorn" has become a household name in the United States-he talked about "corn classics" as soon as he came to power, which shows how popular popcorn is in people's hearts!
