The production time of a small household popcorn maker is usually around 2-4 minutes, which is actually not a long time. Compared to some devices on the market that require preheating or complex operation, it already belongs to a relatively efficient category. Traditional popcorn machines require even heating of corn kernels to ensure that each one can fully burst, and this process takes some time. Waiting for 3-5 minutes can ensure that the popcorn has a crispy texture and avoid local overheating that may cause it to burn. If compared to other freshly made snacks (such as oven baked potato chips which may take 10-15 minutes), this time is actually very reasonable. In addition, home consoles support ready to eat and customizable flavors (such as low sugar and low oil), which are healthy and fresh. The experience improvement gained from the short wait is worth it.
