Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a popcorn machine with an impurity filtering function. Background Art
[0002] Popcorn is a small food that expands when heated. It is made from corn kernels. The process of making popcorn is to heat the corn kernels containing water to a certain temperature under high temperature, so that the water inside evaporates and forms steam. When the steam pressure increases to a certain level, the corn kernels will burst into fluffy popcorn.
[0003] Popcorn is made by a popcorn machine. After adding corn kernels and appropriate oil into the popcorn machine, the popcorn machine is turned on. The heating element inside the popcorn machine begins to heat up, and the oil and corn kernels at the bottom are heated. After the oil is heated to the appropriate temperature, the moisture inside the corn kernels begins to evaporate and generate pressure. When the steam pressure increases to exceed the tolerance limit of the corn kernels, the corn kernels will quickly burst. When the corn kernels burst, the internal steam is released, causing the corn kernels to expand into fluffy popcorn.
[0004] The existing popcorn machine lacks a filtering structure for impurities, resulting in the produced popcorn containing impurities such as unpopped corn kernels. These impurities will affect the consumer's consumption experience. Therefore, a popcorn machine with impurity filtering function is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
