Home popcorn supplies are simple and easy to use. The most important part besides the actual kernels though, is the popcorn popper, or popcorn maker. The kernel has to be heated up to a high degree, but not too fast or it will be hard and brittle. On large scales, such as the poppers found in theaters, the popcorn is heated in an oil, butter and salt mixture, but at home this process can be dangerous so the butter and salt is often added after the corn is popped.
Home popcorn supplies, such as poppers are often a simple device that heats up the kernel under a constantly moving airflow that prevents the kernels from burning. Once the kernel has popped that airflow helps the popcorn exit the chamber and a reflecting top sends the corn into a bowl or receptacle.
Other than the popper and a bowl, the only popcorn supplies needed are butter, salt, or other flavorings and a possibly spoon to stir them with. Popcorn is one of the simplest and easiest to make snacks at home. When left unflavored it is also surprising healthy, having no sodium, no sugar, and being high in fiber.
