ABSTRACT:
Corn kernels packaged within a bag can be popped within a microwave oven and then flavored with powdered cheese in two ways. In the first embodiment, the cheese powder is imcorporated in the bag with the corn kernels, oil or shortening, and other ingredient to be subjected to microwave. In the second embodiment, the powdered cheese is applied by sprinkling it on the ingredients within the bag after microwave corn popping, closing the bag, shaking it, and repeating the process several times. In both of these embodiments, when the cheese contacts the hot popcorn, it melts and adheres to the surface of the popcorn. To prevent the melted cheese from giving the popped corn a mottled appearance, a coloring material which generally corresponds to the color of the cheese powder is included as an ingredient in the bag of upoppped kernels. During microwave popping, the coloring is distributed in the bag and coats the popped corn. As a result, a cheese-flavored popcorn with a uniform, pleasing appearance is produced.
