Using corn to showcase the boiling differences between water and oil.

Felt like popcorn had a PhD.

I see more of an evaporation difference

Cooking oil, with a higher boiling point (around 200°C for common oils like vegetable oil) compared to water (100°C), allows for a more rapid and uniform heat transfer, leading to the corn kernels popping more efficiently and producing popcorn, whereas water's lower boiling point and different heat transfer characteristics result in less effective popping.

Corn

Incredible

Corn, oil... fascinating. Reminds me of a negotiation I once had involving sunflower seeds 🌻. The leverage was surprisingly similar.

😍😍

Wow

The importance of oil in cooking

Popcorn seemed highly educated
