How much popcorn will be the cone with a total weight of 3.63 kilos? I tried making it desperately desperately and it turned out like this

Popcorn is popular as a movie companion, but the cooking method is easy to put in a frying pan and it is easy, so it is possible to make a snack in the house and make it afternoon snack. Although it is possible to purchase cones containing small bags even at supermarkets, this time a terrible amount of 3.63 kg was entered at CostcoORVILLEWe got a corn from the company, so I tried experimenting how much popcorn could be made.

ORVILLE company's popcorn with 3.63 kg entersAmazonYou can purchase at 2264 yen at. The size is 12 cm in length × 17.5 cm in width × 24.5 cm in height.


The back side looks like this.


I try to lift, I feel a heavy weight.


Looking at the description on the back, the content is 3.63 kg characters.


Cones are tightly packed in the case.


And before experimenting how many popcorn can be made with ORVILLE 's popcorn, I will try out how much volume can be made with popcorn (150 g) sold at supermarket etc.

I purchasedKitao Shoji"Ponpon Popcorn" 168 yen.


The back side looks like this.


In addition to 150 g of corn 8 g of seasoning is attached.


How to make it is also written. Three tablespoons of oil to 50 g of corn, 1/4 (about 2 g) of seasoning. First put oil and seasoning and cone in a large flat pan with a flat bottom, cover it with fire.


◆ Start making Popcorn

First we weigh the corn.


Looking at the corn near this is like this. Weigh it to be perfectly 50 g.


Transfer it to a frying pan ... ...


Pour 3 tablespoons of oil.


Make sure that the corn is firmly immersed in oil. In addition, since popcorn of the heap is going to be completed this time, there is no seasoning. I made it possible for each person to taste like it later.


After putting a lid on the fire, the glass quickly became cloudy.


Waiting for 2-3 minutes, the cone will pop with the sound "Ponpon".


When the sound begins to run, I will shake the frying pan. Shake it vertically or turn it to draw a circle, so be careful not to burn the popcorn inside the frying pan.


I can not see the inside of the frying pan.


Stop the fire and check the inside. At this time, if you open the lid without stopping the fire, it is inevitable to burn with cones blown in, so be careful.


In the frying pan, there is a bright corn of a color that has not yet become pop yet, a brownish tinged corn that is about to become popular, and a popcorn without undaunting.


I put it on fire again. If you say who this hand with Misanga is ... ...


World newspaperIt was Mr. Matsuzaki.


Mr. Matsuzaki who came to the editorial department of GIGAZINE after completing a round of the world, continuing to be instructed like a demon to shake a frying pan ......


Approximately 5 minutes after the fire, the popcorn which was making a sound as "Ponpon" is quiet. Even at this time as soon as you open the lid you will start burning with unexploded bullets, so we recommend swinging the frying pan several times and waiting for about 10 seconds before opening it.


"Wow ~! How delicious it looks ~!"


It will be popular in bowl.


When making with a frying pan with a diameter of 26 cm, 50 g was the easiest to make, and it was just enough to fill the bowl of 20 cm in diameter and 9 cm in depth.


Repeat this two more times, and when you use up 150 g of corn, it's three bowls.


Looking from the side like this. Incidentally, this bowl is 20 cm in diameter and 7 cm in depth.


◆ I tried experimenting how much popcorn could be made with ORVILLE popcorn 3.63 kg

So from here it's real. We will make popcorn from a cone with a total weight of 3.63 kg.

The content quantity of 3.63 kg means 24.2 bags of "Ponpon Popcorn" containing 150 g earlier in simple calculation. Purchasing 3.63 kg of popcorn popcorn amounts to about 4066 yen, so 2264 yen ORVILLE's popcorn is certainly economical.


The way of making is written also in ORVILLE 's popcorn package, but since we will make 50 g each by giving priority to easiness of making, we will use the recipe this time this time.


Weigh the cone to 50 g perfectly.


Incorn in a frying pan.


Turn 3 tablespoons of oil ... ...


I will wait until the cone gets out.


When the sound begins to sound, press the lid tightly and shake the frying pan.



Popcorn area occupying frying pan spreads quickly.


Completion I will repeat the same things ...... I am going to repeat ... ....


~ 1 hour after start ~

ORVILLE 's popcorn looks something like this.


When I moved it to a 45L plastic bag, it was quite a lot. I did not count the number of work, but about 13 workloads calculated from the number of work counted since.


When I continue to rub the frying pan for 1 hour, I will change the editorial staff and change to the second person, because the heat, monotonous work and fatigue feel that the spirit will start to fly with the sound of popcorn bouncing. The lid of the frying pan which was cloudy was coated with oil by the collision of the cone, so that the inside looks better.

ORVILLE 's popcorn is only a few more. This time the number of work was 62 times. I worked 16 times in this one hour. It is the highest record.

"Easy Pop" review which can deliver deliciously mass-produced easily popular popcorn of heap - GIGAZINE


And ...



To zero. The number of work in this one hour is 4 times, Easy Pop produces 300 g (6 times) popcorn, counts from the start of the work, and it is a calculation that it repeats the total of about 72 times.


So, the cone for the total weight of 3.63 kg became popcorn of 2 bags of 45 L plastic bag. It is a terrible amount that it will not be made so much at the movie theater's popcorn department.


The expiration date of the corn was January 2013, so if you save it avoiding heat and humidity it will be enough to spend your time but it is expected that it will become something punishment game on the way . For that reason, it can be said that it is for confident popcorn freaks that do not get tired of eating popcorn every day when opening a large party, but it is only certain that the total cost is really worth about 72, and the cost performance is outstandingly amazing is.
