Cretors Popcorn Engine Cretors Popcorn engine Des fouilles archéologiques ont montré qu'il y a plus de 3000 ans, en Amérique, le maïs était déjà cultivé avec des variétés hybridées et d'une certaine façon sélectionnées. Dans ces variétés certaines sont aptes à produire du popcorn, ce qui a dû se arriver car une partie du maïs était grillé ou rôti dans de la graisse. Ce n'est pourtant que vers les années 1800 que le popcorn s'est installé dans la culture américaine. Il était alors fabriqué, avec plus ou moins de succès et de rendement de manière artisanale. C'est à ce moment, dans les années 1880, qu'intervient Charles Cretors, originaire de l'Ohio et établi comme boulanger à Decatur dans l'Illinois. Pour dynamiser son affaire il décida d'acheter une machine à griller les cacahuètes, friandises fort à la mode. D'un fonctionnement insatisfaisant il se décida à revoir toute la conception de cette machine. Il fut alors satisfait du fonctionnement de la machine qu'il avait revue de fond en comble. Il déménagea alors sur Chicago où il pensa qu'il pouvait avoir un réel succès commercial en vendant la machine qu'il avait améliorée et testée en fonctionnement réel. Il prit un brevet en 1885. En 1893 d'amélioration en innovations il avait mis au point une machine actionnée à la vapeur capable de rôtir les cacahuètes à la perfection, mais aussi fabriquer un popcorn succulent, maintenu chaud et de qualité toujours égale. Une rencontre opportune avec un voyageur de commerce gourmand de cacahuètes et l'idée d'installer sa machine au beau milieu d'un exposition colombienne assura le démarrage de l'affaire. L'odeur des cacahuètes fraîchement rôties s'ajoutant au parfum diabolique du popcorn dans son assaisonnement chaud, le tout préparé en continu devant les badauds était un coup de maître. En plus la petite machine à vapeur pimpante finissait d'hypnotiser les clients. Il développa ainsi tout une gamme de carrioles et voitures à chevaux équipées pour satisfaire sa clientèle de marchands. Cretors mis au point aussi des machines stationnaires pour les magasins, lieux de grand passage, etc. La vapeur côtoyait l’électricité quand cela s'avérait possible ou nécessaire. Ce qui caractérisait la production de Cretors était une excellente conception, une très grande qualité de réalisation mécanique et une ensemble très robuste pour le travail en extérieur. Le reste de l'histoire ...vous la trouverez facilement sur Internet d'autant que la firme Cretors existe toujours1. Les Cretors d'origine sont très recherchées, cela va sans dire tellement elles ont fait partie du paysage américain du XXème siècle.

  • A Single Popcorn Kernel Can Pop 3 Feet High
    A Single Popcorn Kernel Can Pop 3 Feet High National Popcorn Day is annually observed January 19th. This time-honored treat can be sweet or savory, caramelized, buttered or plain, molded into a candied ball or tossed with nuts and chocolate. However, it is enjoyed, enjoy it on National Popcorn Day, January 19th. SUBSCRIBE to our Daily Newsletter. It’s FREE! The word “corn” in Old English meant “grain” or more specifically the most prominent grain grown in a region. As maize was the most common grain in early America, the word “corn” was aptly applied. As early as the 16th century, popcorn was used in headdresses worn during Aztec ceremonies honoring Tlaloc, their god of maize and fertility. Early Spanish explorers were fascinated by the corn that burst into what looked like a white flower. Popcorn started becoming popular in the United States in the middle 1800s. Popcorn joined the mobile generation in 1893 when an inventor named Charles Cretors introduced the first moveable popcorn machine at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. About the same time, Louise Ruckheim added peanuts and molasses to popcorn to bring Cracker Jack to the world. The national anthem of baseball was born in 1908 when Jack Norworth and Albert Von Tilzer wrote Take Me out to the Ballgame. From that point onward, popcorn, specifically Cracker Jack, became forever married to the game. Popcorn has another romance that may have had a slow start but eventually took off. Today, who can image going to the movies without getting a box of buttered popcorn.
