Can you Roast the corn kernels, instead of popping them, and how about roasting garbanzo beans?

Unfortunately you can't roast the corn kernels. They have moisture trapped inside by the outer shell and therefore wil pop when introduced to heat to release the moisture. That's why they "pop" when you cook them. As far as beans, yes you can roast them. However, I don't really know long it would take since the only settings on the machine are for popcorn and nuts. But some experimenting with the time and the setting will be your best bet for that.

I suppose that you could, although I would only use it to hold the corn ears while steaming. The cooker doesn't use the lid when cooking. You use it for it's pasta measurers and, can put it on top of the cooker to strain the pasta after it is cooked.For corn, you could add an ear or two to the cooker, put a moist paper towel over the top, replace the lid (if you really want to,) and microwave it for 3-4 minutes an ear.

Yes it will grind corn kernels into corn meal. I can't speak to the moisture contnetmportionofmthe question becaus simply bought the corn kernels at my local grocer.

I have not done it myself, but you should be able to. The manual says it is fine. I have no trouble with wheat berries or dent corn, so rice should be no problem.

yes. i found that the directions say to have your popcorn in the microwave for five minutes. the corn began to burn. i have an amana late model microwave and i think the next time i'll give it less time. the 1/3 cup was overflowing this last time.

I have ground hard Indiana popcorn for corn bread.... it grinds that pretty well, but is a lot of work hand cranking! I use the drill attachment and that helps a lot!

Absolutely! Put 2 1/2 to 3 tablespoons in a paper bag o an Air Popper and set microwave to "high" for 3 minutes. The time may need adjusting, depending on your microwave power. I do not use oil, butter or anything else during the popping. After popping, I sometimes spray the non-calorie butter on the popped corn. Delicious. Eat it most days.

Not sure what you had in mind but I use whole kernel corn. I'm sure pellets would be fine.

I was so surprised that for a full batch (16 cups of popped corn) you use only 1 tablespoon of oil...and you use any kind of oil you like. It pops perfect corn each and every time.

I find this a great machine for popping corn with very little kernals left or none at all, I use corn oil as an oil, The Butter I will soften it up a bit in the microwave and only apply it to the top of the popper only after the corn starts popping, I find that if the butter is installed to early before the karnals start popping the butter tends to give off smoke and it gives the pop corn a burnt taste the machine is a good investment

Yep, if you use the saute option first with the lid off. After the first ingredients are cooked to your liking you can add beans and water, lock the lid in place and set a manual time to pressure cook the beans. Depending on the beans you are using (larger beans such as chickpeas) you may want to pressure cook them prior on their own and drain off the froth. I personally prefer to do that to help eliminate gas. I even take the whole gas issue further by sprouting the dry beans first.

Yes , you can. But make sure that the corn (or any other grain) you put for grinding should be very dry. You have to adjust the knob on mill for desired coarseness. I once made very coarse flour out of wheat berries for making sweet pudding.

No, I would never attempt to roast anything directly over the firepit that MIGHT drip down into it. It would prove to be very messy. I am not familiar with the coleman popcorn popper, so don't have any idea of the process. General Rule: Don't put anything into the flames!

In our experience, not really. You might get away with trying to add the salt just as the popped corn leaves the popper to drop in the bowl since there may be a very slight bit of moisture present from the popping process (moisture escaping as the kernel pops) but, it is unlikely. We use an air popper, as well but, we always add some butter mixed with olive oil. Not so much for the salt, we just like the flavor. Responder " Franklin" makes a good point, though; the salt is very finely ground and could easily get lodged in nooks & crannies of a popped kernel. We just prefer more salt flavor than what we got without using a some oil.

Yes. Voids warrantee, the company won't tell you you should, but you can use it as a first coffee roasting experience. And, you can still pop corn in it, going back and forth won't change flavors.

Guess you could...they are hard to get into the corn cob so they might fall out while cooking....
