Hey all,
Been wanting to reduce the amount of waste I generate, and one small way I was thinking of doing so was perhaps by reheating the unpopped popcorn kernels that appear in the bottom of my bowl after making a batch with my air popper.
Would this be safe to do, or is it recommended against? I’d love to reuse them if possible and ensure I have no unneeded waste there, but I also want to make sure I’m not making myself sick by eating something I shouldn’t be.
Thanks in advance!
Why would you even think this was unsafe? What’s the concern? Are you talking about returning the unpopped kernels to storage and popping them later or do you mean right away?
Sometimes I get the time wrong on my microwave and wind up with a lot of unpopped kernels. So when I get to the bottom of the bowl and see how much extra there is, I put them back in. The only problem is you have to watch them carefully. They have a tendency to burn if you don’t stop cooking right when your running out.
I should probably note that in not popping microwave popcorn, I’m popping regular popcorn in a special bowl in the microwave.
