What was the earliest popcorn machine?

The traditional popcorn machine is the "cannon hand popcorn machine", and the popcorn made by the old popcorn machine is also called "popcorn". The old-fashioned popcorn machine consists of a head screw, a big bent head, a small elbow, a cover, a booster tube/rod, a cotter pin and a crank. In addition, in order to stand on the fire, two supports are needed.

There is a black popcorn machine like a cannon on the fire, and the master shakes it while pulling the bellows. With a loud noise, a cloud of white smoke rose, hot popcorn filled his pocket, and the attractive aroma made his mouth water-these are many beautiful and interesting memories of China's childhood after 1980s.

This kind of popcorn machine, which is common in China, aroused the curiosity of Americans, and boarded the famous program "mythbusters" of the American Discovery Channel to explore the fastest way to make popcorn.

The history of popcorn:

Popcorn is an ancient puffed food. Hundreds of years ago, before European immigrants moved to this "new world", Indians living on this continent began to eat popcorn.

After Columbus returned to Europe, he once described to people the vivid scene of Indian children in the "New World" selling popcorn in the street wearing necklaces. It was also Indians who taught European immigrants how to grow and bake corn.

A historian also found popcorn eaten by ancient Indians 5000 years ago in a cave in New Mexico, USA, but because of the "technology" at that time, the taste was far from crisp as that of popcorn of the times.

Modern inventors designed an electric cooker for families who like popcorn. It is said that it only takes 10 minutes to make a large pot of popcorn. Many local TV stations in the United States often broadcast the common sense of popcorn explosion, and also introduce various methods of popcorn explosion 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-this gentleman talks about "corn classics" as soon as he takes office.
