Popping Corn on the Cobb is So Cool!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- And so I heard that you could pop popcorn straight off the cobb and that sounded kind of fun so I decided to try it out with some sweetcorn. I put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes and while it got really hot - none of the kernels popped. And so I wrapped it up in foil like you do when you put it on the grill - that was a bad idea. Then I found that regular sweet corn is way to soft to pop and you have to use a different type of corn where the shells of the kernels are much stronger. So I got some of this corn and I could tell right away that the kernels were way harder and tougher. So I put one into the microwave and, after a while, sure enough, they started to pop up a storm. Then we pulled out some of the popcorn, added some salt, and started to munch.

I'm glad you recorded it so I don't have to make the mess 😆
You’re welcome
@@DIYScienceGuy where's the taste test video? how did it compare?
It tasted really fresh. Maybe the taste test will be next. 🤓
Hose attachment on the vacuum should do the trick
@@DIYScienceGuy dude I don't know if this was a joke or what but this video was kind of stupid you do realize you have to have dried corn to make popcorn you can't use just corn right out from the grocery cuz that's moist have you ever wondered why when you get corn in a box that specifically meant to be popcorn and then you cook it and you get pieces that are still hard that's because it was hard before you ever cooked it
Now just grab your microwave and take it to the couch for a movie.
Epic response!!!! #boss
yessss lol
Lol
Bruh...🤣
🤯🏃😂
This is how I clean my microwave. You don't even need to season the popcorn
Underrated 🤣
Lol I came to leave this same comment 🤢
That's disgusting 😂
Yeah that good hot pocket flavored popcorn
That's gross dude lol really funny though. (Clean your microwave! )
You can throw the cob into a paper bag to catch all of the kernels. They sell them at the dollar store and Walmart in packs. Just fold the top over and you're good to go. Then you can season and shake it up in there when it's done.
Or just buy regular popcorn lol
Sounds good
@@Haych222 Right? Lol! But if you're going to try this method, I think the paper bag is your best bet.
thats not going to get views though
I was going to ask what to do to contain it a bit. Thank you for this answer.
Pro tip: make sure you clean the microwave before so you aren't eating several weeks of different food flavors.
why pop it that way?
@@rachelgarcia4301 no idea. Never actually made popcorn like that. Hell, I don't even like popcorn so 🤷♂️
Sounds like interesting seasoning
the forbidden seasoning
Eewwww. Yes, I agree!
I couldn’t stop laughing thinking he bout to have some hot corn 😂😂
This 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂 how else would you eat it thoo 👀🤔
. Is it the microwaves that hit the water... the water would steam in an oven w/ enough heat...right?... I just want to think of a situation where a delivery driver starts hearing weird popping noises one day when driving.
The reason corns pop is because there's water inside them. The microwave, on the other hand, is resonating with water (making it's molecules vibrate faster and faster and raising it't temperature in the process) which makes the water inside turn into gas. More heat there is to the gas, the higher the pressure. When the pressure goes over the threshold kernel can withstand, the kernel will pop / explode.
What we have here, basically, are mini hand-grenades, because that's exactly what happens there: hard shell has pressure inside it raising and that energy pushes it out and we have explosion.
Reason why soft kernels don't work is because there's no "snapping point", vapor just creates micro-pores and gets out of the soft tissue. The critical pressure never occurs.
It's like blowing air into the baloon and into a sponge - one will pop up after some time, the other will just leak it all out.
^This. More people need to see your comment to actually get how the process works, instead of them recommending drying the sweet corn :))
What about the ones that don't explode?
@@JesusProtects They would pop eventually, but they probably need more heat and the others would just char / get burned, so we stop it. If you could separate popped from the "duds", and give duds a second go, they might pop eventually. Or they're just solid without a pocket inside them so no water to heat up and nothing to raise the pressure...
I enjoyed your vivid explanation of it lol
Comments like this are my favorite to come across. And the people that leave them are awesome for it.
It's that hot in Australia the corn actually pops in the field 😂
That's no joke I have actually walked up on popped corn sticking off old corn cobs out in the fields in summer.
@@desertweasel6965 what in the carnation is that ? ? ? The temperature can boil your brain if you stay too long outside. Stay safe.
@@desertweasel6965 ur kidding me
That sounds dangerous tbh someone could lose an 👁️
@@i_Love_Curry the phrase is “what in *tarnation*”… carnation is a brand of condensed milk lol
All corn gets hard after a certain amount of time on the cobb during harvest. The soft kernels you eat is the corn before it “rippens” and gets hard. This is also the kernel that is ready to plant. The seed has hardened.
My elementary school teachers definitely owe me an apology! Literally told me putting any type of corn in the microwave wouldn’t make popcorn unless it’s in a bag; can’t be off the cob! I knew I was right! 🤣
Meanwhile i never knew 🍿=🌽
Stupid teachers are a dime a dozen my friend.
All teachers think they know everything
@@askbre I feel hella slow too bro
could be wrong but im pretty sure he just grabbed a popcorn on the cob.
Just dont use wet corn, dry it out first
Can’t fix stupid.😅
no you need dry popcorn. not dry sweetcorn
Sweet corn is not species of corn that makes popcorn
Idk if your just plain dumb or didn't think about it before saying this but there is moisture inside the corn. Not just the outside, but yeah wet pop corn won't pop sweet corn won't pop tho even if it's dry
Why are you telling him what to do when he literally got it to work
It’s so mesmerizing watching the kernels pop, like it just turns inside out so fast like they just pop into the universe out of no where. 😆
Yeah it is kind of mesmerizing. Thanks for watching.
You actually can if you use a popcorn cob that's been dried properly.
did you watch the whole thing?
@@BananaTimeYoo no they obviously didn't 🙄
You both obviously don’t know what he means 😂
He has sweat corn on the plate but POPCORN in the microwave fake video
@@tinytrexgaming2649 What do you mean fake video? He explains it in the video that the first one he tried was sweet corn and it didn’t work so he got a different type of corn and it worked perfectly. He explained everything in the video as he showed us.
I knew this as a kid from down south and it wasn't done with a microwave. We had corn fields. Memories of another day.
Your corn fields popped into popcorn? How hot was it?
@@coachmcguirk6297 i seen your reply days ago but, i deemed it so stupid it didn't deserve comment. However you a coach in a school therefore, i deemed you taught curriculums besides PE. He tells you there two types corn. Do you think ethanol comes from sweet corn?
Corn pops in the microwave, you're doing gods work.
I couldn't stop laughing when I saw the first corn in the microwave 😂
Right? Have you ever accidentally made popcorn from a bag of corn that is ready to steam? Oh you haven’t? 😂
Eject eject
City kids, eh?
haha I laughed too
Idk why I laughed
I think I'll keep using the bag method.
@Raspian Kiado That sounds good, but I could also add all that to bag of popcorn and shake it up.
Has to be dried corn on cob
it has to be jiffy pop strain, not all corn pops only the uneducated thinks that
Facts POPCORN is completely different
Sweet corn on the ear, microwave for 4:30, remove from husk then roll in butter, sprinkle salt and pepper.
Just cut cobb above the stem. Squeeze/work it out of the cut end, no "hairs".
I'm not a microwave fan at all, but this is great.
This is the coolest thing I've seen all week.
Thanks a lot
For me, it was my kids..... they came out of my balls. Doesn't get much cooler than that
@@DIYScienceGuy you are very good liar kid
no, it's pretty hot actually
Thanks- I appreciate your support
I am 63 now. When I was young the family had a garden every year. I took some Jiffy Pop Popcorn and planted a 10 or so foot row. It grew just fine and produced small ears. I let them dry and it popped just like the original. Plant a popcorn kernel in a cup of soil, keep it watered and it will grow a corn plant
Very cool story- I’m 63 too🤓
organic sweet corn grows great too. Someone gave me 2 ears to cook and eat but while I was doing yard work,groundhog stole it off the patio.I picked up the chewed up pieces,threw them in my compost pile.
About a week later,the corn grass had started growing,I had like 100 corn plants.Not enough room in the yard for all,so gave away and all my neighbors grew corn that year.
Thanks for the tip - darn ground hog
There is only a few things better than a ear of raw sweet corn. Clean it, rub a little butter on it and eat it. So good
Ohio has joined the chat
Shoot.. screw butter. Mayo is where it's at. I can't put butter on an ear of corn anymore after putting mayo on it. Don't knock it, till you've tried it though.
Mayo? On corn????
I’ll try it 🤓
@@DIYScienceGuy look up eloté, it's delicious
I was not prepared for that at the end. Even though I knew it was coming, I still jumped. 🤣
just remember to clean your microwave before doing this unless you like an extra side of microwave gunk with your salted popcorn
There are several varieties of corn. Corn for pop corn uses are specific. Choose the right ones.
All Corn pop when dry
@user-hl6ls8sv4t no it doesn't.
@@user-hl6ls8sv4t he even says in the video that regular sweet corn is too soft to pop when it gets hot. So no...not all corn pops
@@ewoknips5154 are you serious?
Sweet corn can dry and pop
But I guess at that point it’s not called sweet corn.
So you’re arguing some silly semantics
Not only that, but clearly the context of the comment I replied to is about varieties of corn.
All corn varieties pop so long as they are dried and not fresh and juicy.
Sweet corn is not a corn variety.
Sweet corn is when a high sugar corn is young and tender. They can dry up, have their sugars convert to starches and become hard. Which can be used for popping.
In fact that popped corn he used in the video is probably the same variety as the fresh sweet corn since they’re the most common corn variety and cheapest
Bye
Did you watch the whole video damn man
Grandma would take us to 🍎Orchards in the fall. And we would get this multi colored 🌽 just like this and do the same thing🍿.
That is the REAL corn, my friend. Yellow is mostly gmo now
Nico- As far as I know that the multi colored corn is called Indian corn and I guess that you can pop that corn in the microwave! I just asked that question on UA-cam and you’ve somewhat answered my question here!😁😁
Here’s a hack if you’re trying to have movie night but don’t have microwavable popcorn packets. Just put regular kernels (or one of those cobs) in a brown paper bag. It works the same way. Butter and salt it afterwards. My favorite, the hot air popper. Super fun to watch, especially with kiddos around.
Thanks a bunch
False sweat CORN and POPCORN are completely different
@@tinytrexgaming2649my sweat corn is a little salty for my taste lol😂
@@bikeguyhd1035 🤣😂🤣
Least effective way to make popcorn ever.
If you reheat brussel sprouts in the microwave, they also explode 😂
Yes, the popcorn you pop is obviously fresh, thats why we keep them in the fridge
Wait ... Did he really try to pop corn on the cob? WTF!
But the bagged seeds are dried
@@tedtalour6414 but that was the joke…
“my microwave smells like popcorn” sure but have you tried this
I can tell your city folk! LOL didn't know the difference between field corn and popcorn.
Right 😂
My dad and I used to quail hunt next to popcorn fields owned by a local popcorn company, our bird vests were always full of birds and popcorn at the end of the day.
this guy will keep the field corn meant for the animals and give the sweet corn to the piggies and chickens 🤣
I soaked popcorn in water overnight once, put it in the dirt and it grew! So fun😊
what? really 😂
Now that’s a way to make some natural pop corn 😂
There is special cobs you can acquire that do it. It won't work with fresh corn like that. Sorghum works too.
You thought I was feelin you?
That popcorn a munch.
I knew I wasn't the only lol. I fuckin hate that damn song lmao.
I was expecting to see more of these comments
Nah this ain't it chief 😭
Or just buy regular popping corn. Pan, oil, stove top. No mess.
You're welcome 😊
I lived my first 18 years in Sri Lanka. Basically the corn we are familiar with over there is this harder popping corn variety, except we also eat it boiled like we do sweet corn. Miss that sometimes. But yeah, learned early on that there's different varieties of corn and popping corn is what I was familiar with before. It's hard as, but kinda good boiled in salty water for a heavy hearty snack.
Fun fact: the Popcorn is called Popcorn because it refers to the term Pop in kinematics which is the 6th derivative of position with respect to time
I will be trying this at work tomorrow.
Cool - good luck
This made me lol
I’m glad
Popping on the stove with a pot is cool as well...and healthier
Finally, Popcorn has been weaponized.
Pentagon: we are in. 👍
If I scooped out pop corn from my microwave, I'd be scraping 6 months worth of microwavable crums with it 😭😭😭
Naaaaasty
Throw the whole microwave out!
6 months? Go clean your microwave
Extra seasoning 😂
Why
I'm about blow your mind. Ready? They have popcorn in a bag that pops in the microwave.
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
What?
?... Tf was u trying to do or say
🥱
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lucky you didn't break the jar from the pressure! Thats why they call it popcorn, not sweet corn?
If corn go pop then name popcorn make more sense Tony
Microwave: MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBEEPMMMMMMBEEPMMMMMMMBEEPMMMMMMBEEPMMMMMMM
MMMMMMMMMMMThanksforwatching
Still cleaner than fake ass fast food.
the way it just stands up on the plate makes me burst outta laughter
Are you sure you didn’t just glue popcorn to the cob 😂🙋🏽
Glued to a piece of cardboard 🤣😭
Ah yes they bought popcorn that was removed from the cob already just to glue it back on another
And never tella us the type of corn that pops. It's cool, I wasnt planning on trying this. I'll just take your word for it...
It's the special kind duh
Can’t believe you though soft corn would pop lol common sense ain’t too common
😂
What break through discoveries have you mastered genius?
I dont think that falls under the common sense category John
Common sense is something done every day on a usual that even a kid automatically knows what to do.... who's popping pop Corn naturally off the cobs everyday around us?
@@Z3sty367 Yes it is common sense
Can you buy store-bought popcorn: we have popcorn at home. The popcorn: This is a great video
I'm sitting here smoking weed .... I just realized pop corn comes from corn 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pop corn is a special type of corn grow specifically for popping. You can't just take any corn cob from the market and make it.
However you can grow popping corn from uncooked popping corn from the store
@@mitchellfite879 cool!
Good luck trying to explain this to the Internet.
Dude, the corn just needs to dry. Can't pop fresh corn.
@@rafmatt1607 it's a certain variety of hard corn. Can't use just any corn.
Imagine being the first native American to throw their corn cob into the fire then all of a sudden witchery and magic starts happening right before your eyes creating a delicious treat?
Natives were not that stupid budd
@@Cerebro13 I didn't say they were stupid first of all! second I'm about 60% native American, third it was a joke my attempt to make somebody chuckle from my comment and fourth, do you really think rain dances worked? They were far from stupid but had some pretty crazy beliefs but don't we all! When something crazy like that happens for the first time you got to be pretty astonished and amazed not to mention I highly doubt native americans were the first to discover popcorn budd! These people were taking peyote, smoking marijuana, DMT, psilocybin, amanita muscaria, salvia.......... And thinking they were in the spirit world praying to God's stoned out of their mind dancing around a fire hoping for rain! Learn to laugh and not be so serious all the time!
@@rustybritches6747I thought it was funny :)
Sir. That is one clean microwave
I don't care how clean a microwave is. I'm not eating popcorn that's been flying all over the inside of that thing. Weird behavior 🤢
😂😂 My trypophobia just kicked in
Lol could you imagine being the person to invent popcorn 😂😂
Indiana grows 80 percent of the world 's popcorn
Nope. Not even close
Didn't know that, thanks for the fun fact.
Next time, put the cob in a paper sack so you don't have the kernels popping everywhere making a mess
But it looks so cool
The fact that that Cobb of corn that popped is also very on the dehydrated side as opposed to the other one makes a difference otherwise you don't get popcorn. You get exploded corn kernels.
The mans microwave is cleaner than half your upper lips in here
hey bro! they offer this in microwavable bags and they even have different flavors.👁️👄👁️ 👍👍
😂😂😂
Well anything packed with an expiration date is bad for u but hey it’s everywhere
neat
Glad you like it
This is the nastiest microwave in the history of microwaves
Pop pop corn straigh outta cob
Sounded like a rap song
The Waffle House has found its new host
I am glad that microwave and plate were clean. You’re just scooping it up
New type of projectiles has been discovered 😂😂😂
lol the second i saw the sweetcorn i was like "wrong corn"
Put the corn on the cob into a brown paper bag and just fold the top of the bag down a few times to close the bag and your pop corn will be in the bag. It is delicious!
It still boggles my mind to think that there are people out there who think popcorn is not natural because all they know is sweet corn which doesn't pop.
The kernels are tougher because they’re dried. You also need the right species of corn for popcorn
I always wanted that permanent burnt popcorn smell
You can pop Milo ( Grain Sorghum) too. When we would harvest it in the field , seeds would get around the manifold on the combine and pop.
There is a tiny bit of moisture inside each of the hard kernels.. 🍿When the moisture turns to steam, the kernel pops open.😊
Imagine being 45 years old and thinking popcorn was from regular corn
*runs to kitchen to Check what type of corn we have *
Why does he sound like he’s worried about getting into trouble 😂
congratulations, you discovered the microwave corn, things from like 50 years ago
The corn that will pop obviously is different than usual corn...
Sweet corn won't work because the shell of the kernels is too soft. The pressure bursts the shell before the pressure can build enough to pop it
Ah yes weaponized corn.
“Someone told me that corn on the cob would pop in the microwave so I put my gerbil in the microwave to see if it would work.”
My brain is a weird place.
I bet you're older brother put you in the dryer and turned it on

Munch 😁 he's a eater he ate it for lunch! 🤣
Nice idea but my local cinema wouldn’t let me in with my microwave when i wanted to see avatar.
I was just waiting for the jar to explode due to the pressure and popcorn exploding in it 😂😂
Microwave T.V., had me popping.😉😁
Thanks for watching
cooking sweet corn on the cob in a microwave wrapped in a wet paper towel is way better than boiling it.
Me after doing it : Now grab that microwave pour that butter and enjoy watching movies alone !! 👍😊😂😂😂😂
My roaches would also have a movie night
Whether it’s a bag or not, there will always unpopped kernels left over
My microwave exploded
They sell bags of microwave popcorn that is just half an ear of popcorn and it fills up the bag!!!
It’s really good in all the ways you can pop it straight into a bowl too
Anyone else hear their mom yelling not to stare into the microwave?
This sound like if BruceDropEmOff was doing a white voice
This just proves you learn something new everyday ...I'm 48 and grew up raising corn and didn't know this ..cool vid

Sweet corn isn't popcorn. Popcorn comes from a kind of corn literally called "popcorn"! 😆
