Improving fry cooking time
In January 1994, ‘The Economist’ magazine reported that one of Secretary of Energy Hazel O’Leary’s success stories about government research scientists hired out for civilian business uses was the Argonne National Laboratory’s helping McDonald’s to find a way to speed up french frying. A team headed by physicist Tuncer Kuzay, who interrupted his work on advanced photons, placed sensors inside the frozen fries and was able to design special frying baskets to deal with the effect of steam created by melting ice crystals and to cut 30 to 40 seconds off each batch’s frying time.

Fun Ways to Eat Gourmet Popcorn
Gourmet popcorn is a lot of fun to eat. The great taste, satisfying crunch and childhood memories that flavored popcorn offers are second to none. And there are ways you can maximize your experience. Just think of all the fun ways there are to eat your gourmet popcorn:
1) Straight out of the tin. Gourmet flavored popcorn is attractive because it is so effortless. No napkins, knives, spoons, or plates required. Just grab your big tin from the Big Popper and start enjoying, wherever you are.
2) In a popcorn ball. You can use your flavored popcorn as the basis of popcorn balls, if you are feeling creative. Just melt caramels or light corn syrup in a pan. If you wish, add some extras, such as nuts or candies at this stage. Next, carefully combine the hot mixture with your favorite flavored gourmet popcorn. Work quickly to create balls of popcorn, but be careful – the mixture will be hot. Let your balls cool and keep them wrapped in plastic wrap. This is a fun way for children to enjoy popcorn as well.
3) By the handful. Wherever you are, it’s a treat to devour huge handfuls of gourmet popcorn. Popcorn is a whole grain and is healthier than many snacks, so you can go ahead and indulge without the guilt.
4) One at a time. If you want to savor every last kernel of gourmet popcorn, we can’t blame you. Eating one kernel at a time lets you eat slowly and lets you enjoy every last bite.
5) Combining flavors in your mouth. The Big Popper offers many flavors, including buttered popcorn, Ozark mix, jalapeno popcorn, cheese popcorn, cheddar popcorn, white cheddar popcorn, chocolate popcorn, cinnamon popcorn, chocolate covered popcorn, and more. What happens when you combine cinnamon popcorn with chocolate popcorn or jalapeno popcorn with buttered popcorn? There’s only one way to find out. Take handfuls of your favorite flavors and eat them at the same time for a unique flavor explosion in your mouth.
6) In a big bowl while sitting in your favorite chair. A big tin of gourmet popcorn is your “me” time. You can curl up in your favorite place at home and enjoy popcorn you’re your favorite book, movie, music, or TV show.
7) Outdoors or at your favorite event. If you’re heading out to an outdoor concert or other event, consider brining along a tin of gourmet popcorn if you’re allowed to bring your own treats (call in advance to ask). It’s usually far less expensive and far tastier to bring your own gourmet popcorn rather than relying on the overpriced selection at most events. Just don’t be surprised if people around you want to know where you got your delicious popcorn!
