El maíz reventón es una forma extrema de maíz duro con endosperma duro que ocupa la mayor parte del grano y una pequeña cantidad de almidón blando en la parte basal del mismo. Los granos son pequeños, con pericarpio grueso y varían en su forma de redondos a oblongos. Cuando se calienta el grano, revienta y el endospermo sale. Varias formas primitivas de maíz tienen granos de tipo reventón. El uso principal del maíz reventón es para bocadillos (rositas o palomitas). Los granos con bajo contenido de humedad -cerca de 14%- cuando se calientan a alrededor de 170°C, revientan y cuanto mayor es su expansión mejor es la calidad del producto final. 1, record 1, Spanish, - ma%C3%ADz%20revent%C3%B3n

Hot-air popcorn makers are faster than hot-oil machines, and make fluffier popcorn. ... In hot-air models, kernels are fed into a chamber where they're tossed on hot air until they pop. The force of incoming air, and the exploding action of the corn, sends popped corn out of the chamber, through a chute, and into a collection bowl in the front of the machine. 2, record 3, English, - hot%2Dair%20corn%20popper

Dans le cas des modèles à air chaud, les grains sont placés dans une cavité où ils sont rejetés dans l'air chaud jusqu'à ce qu'ils éclatent. La force de l'air qui arrive et l'action explosive du maïs font sortir les grains éclatés de la cavité où ils pénètrent par un tuyau de descente dans un récipient placé devant la machine. 3, record 3, French, - grille%2Dma%C3%AFs%20%C3%A0%20air%20chaud

Hot-oil poppers cook kernels in a thin film of oil ... Moisture inside the heated kernels expands - turning to steam - and exerts pressure on the outer shell. Eventually, the hull shatters and you're left with a puffed kernel of corn. ... Hot-oil machines collect the puffed corn in a dome-shaped lid which later becomes the serving bowl. 2, record 4, English, - hot%2Doil%20corn%20popper

Il y a deux sortes de machines électriques pour faire éclater le maïs : celles qui fonctionnent avec de l'air chaud et celles qui fonctionnent avec de l'huile chaude. Ces dernières font cuire les grains dans une mince couche d'huile [...]. L'humidité que renferment les grains chauffés se dilate, bout et exerce une pression sur la cosse extérieure. Finalement, la cosse se brise et il ne reste plus que le maïs éclaté. [...] Les machines à huile chaude ramassent le maïs, une fois éclaté, dans un couvercle en forme de dôme qui peut ensuite servir de plat de service. 2, record 4, French, - grille%2Dma%C3%AFs%20%C3%A0%20huile%20chaude
