SV popcorn

JohnInCarolina

Was over a friend’s house last night and he was showing me how to do this:



1/3 cup of kernels, 2 TBS of oil.  187F for 12 minutes or until all kernels popped.  No burning!  Give it a shot if you LOVE popcorn!

Seems suspect. 

@JohnInCarolina. Water popcorn. Friends. Hmm...

I tried it for the kids this morning. Perfectly popped and adding the butter into the bag gives perfect distribution.

Amazing, never would have thought of it.

It's one of those things that's really hard to believe can work until you try it.  I guess the vacuum seal lets the popcorn pop at relatively low temperatures.  It's like that PV = nRT type thing.

I want to believe you did this...

fun stuff for sure. Here’s the chart if you want to use a different temp:

Wow. Now that is right cool.

I am putting my foot down however....refuse to make SV boiled peanuts.

I don't understand why, but SV popcorn doesn't get stuck in my teeth like mw popcorn.

I think it’s the moistness.

SV is yesterday.  I Insta-Pot all my popcorn now.  1/3 cup chicken stock is all you need.  Put on high pressure for 7 minutes.  It doesn't pop till you release the pressure.  Trick is quick pressure release, no natural release.

1/2 lb kernels later and I can’t get this to work.  What’s the trick?  I just keep making a weird paste.

Maybe try double bagging it?

You haven’t truly lived until you’ve successfully made SV popcorn.

Amazing ... have to try this ... if only to see if making popcorn in a sous vide also produces a bag completely devoid of moisture when removing from the device.

Only on the 1st of April?

Sous vide? Instant Pot? Naahhh, not for me, prefer to play with fire...

On April 1st, there are three kinds of people:
1) those who get the joke
2) those who are fooled
3) those who give the joke away

Prepare for the fun. Geez, I am the most gullible person on earth, but this one I got a chuckle.
Thank you all for a very entertaining April first.
Coolest folks on the coolest forum ever.

Wait... What!  I guess I'll go turn off the SV. 

SGH

Funny you should mention this. When I was in high school, we used to make popcorn in a pressure cooker. 

Without the chix stock of course...
