Oil-free popcorn, now possible with Crunchy (oil-free recipe)

Eating popcorn is always a good plan. Now, if we add incentives like a blanket, sofa, and movie, they become the indispensable snack of any home. Also, if we mention other words like cinema, pajamas, or Sunday, crunchy and tasty popcorn inevitably comes to mind. Imagine or add to these circumstances the fact of enjoying this snack in a healthy way. Well, oil-free popcorn offers you that possibility.

So, why not gift an oil-free fryer so that healthy popcorn becomes a reality?

What do I need to make oil-free popcorn?

• 100g of corn kernels
• Salt (to taste)

To prepare these healthy popcorns, we only need 100 grams of corn kernels, a bit of salt, and the Crunchy oil-free fryer. Also, a couple of minutes, which is just the time it will take to make this irresistible snack.

As you can see, only two ingredients are needed to enjoy this snack. Additionally, they will be just as crunchy as if we had used a bit of oil. If all this wasn't enough, making popcorn in this type of fryer means not risking burning them. We will make better use of the corn kernels, which will all pop, and we won't have to remove the burnt ones. Remember that these, which usually appear when we use other methods to prepare popcorn, release a substance that is harmful to health.

What you must keep in mind regarding the ingredients is that the higher the quality of the corn kernels, the better the popcorn you will eat. Nowadays, buying corn is quite a simple task. Additionally, it allows you to choose from a large number of types, origins, and qualities.

Step by step: popcorn in Crunchy oil-free fryer!

One of the advantages of this small fryer is that it offers you the possibility of predefined programming through its digital screen. This way, you just have to put the corn kernels in the fryer's drawer and program: your oil-free popcorn will be ready in a few minutes.

Remember that this model has a total of seven predefined programs. However, you can also manually program the cooking time you want.

With that being said, you should know that, depending on the type of corn used, you may need more or less time in the fryer. To get them perfect, we recommend setting your Crunchy fryer to six minutes. If after that time, you open the drawer and see that not all the kernels have popped, then you can set it for a couple more minutes. Pour the popcorn into a bowl and add salt to taste as the final step to have them ready and crispy.

Before using your oil-free fryer for the first time, we advise you to consult its user manual. In this regard, it is important that you know what quantities you can cook in this appliance. For this model, the recommended amount for two people is 100 grams of corn kernels. Lastly, don't forget that you can also use this fryer with oil, although always in small amounts.

Differences: microwave popcorn or fryer popcorn.

The main difference between both ways of making popcorn is that, in the microwave, the result is not at all healthy. Added to this is the fact that any amount of corn turned into popcorn, by popping the kernels, triples the calories.

Therefore, a very caloric food rich in carbohydrates, whose method of cooking has much to do with the healthiness of the result. Without a doubt, preparing them in the Crunchy fryer is the best way to achieve that healthy condition. Why? Well, because, to start, in a microwave you can only make processed popcorn or bagged popcorn, while in the oil-free fryer you can cook them with the highest quality corn kernels. This is the most important difference between both ways of making this snack.

The best way, in an oil-free fryer.

Neither in the microwave nor in any other way that involves more ingredients than the popcorn itself. The way to achieve an optimal result is by using the oil-free fryer, where they will come out perfect and much healthier. This will be possible because we will eat natural corn which will only need, in any case, a pinch of salt. A circumstance that helps the popcorn maintain the original properties and qualities of the corn.

Therefore, the second difference that justifies making popcorn without oil is that in the microwave we use altered corn by other ingredients and in the fryer we use natural corn.

Microwave popcorn contains flavorings and antioxidants.

While natural popcorn is just corn, those that come in bags have several additives such as, for example, flavorings or antioxidants . Elements that, along with the microwave heat, can generate chemical substances that, although imperceptible in taste, are harmful to health. This circumstance occurs especially in butter-flavored bags. A product that is not used, however, in those prepared with oil-free fryers.

After reviewing the differences between the different ways of preparing popcorn and clarifying how to make them step by step, you already know what the best alternative is. Do not hesitate and go for the snack of always, favorite of adults and children, but made in a way adapted to the new way we live, think, and consume. In short, a perfect option for that lifestyle that focuses on what we eat and how we eat it. Giving a Crunchy fryer to achieve delicious and healthy oil-free popcorn has never been so trendy in this scenario where healthy living is the true protagonist. Have you tried them yet?
