As you will notice popcorn machines are categorized by the amount of popcorn they pop during one popping cycle. This makes selecting the proper size popcorn machine very simple. We will use an eight-ounce popcorn machine in the exercise of properly sizing a popcorn machine. Very simply an eight-ounce popcorn machine will pop eight ounces of popcorn in three minutes. One ounce of popcorn will yield one small individual serving. So if you were to pop one-hour non-stop you would pop about 160 individual servings in an en eight-ounce popcorn machine. This sounds like a lot, but you have to remember that you will be selling multiple sizes and most sales will be of the larger size. Also, can you afford to have someone pop for one-hour non-stop? Sales are maximized if you pop more frequently throughout the day.

Popcorn

The folklore of some Native American tribes told of spirits who lived inside each kernel of popcorn. The spirits were quiet and content to live on their own -- but grew angry if their houses were heated. The hotter their homes became, the angrier they'd get -- shaking the kernels until the heat was too much. Finally they would burst out of their homes and into the air as a disgruntled puff of steam.

Each kernel of popcorn does contain a small drop of water stored inside a circle of soft starch. (That's why popcorn needs to contain 13.5 percent to 14 percent moisture.) The soft starch is surrounded by the kernel's hard outer surface.

As the kernel heats up, the water begins to expand, and pressure builds against the hard starch. Eventually, this hard surface gives way, causing the popcorn to explode.

As it explodes, the soft starch inside the popcorn becomes inflated and bursts, turning the kernel inside out. The steam inside the kernel is released, and the popcorn is popped!
