[edit] Other products like Rice Krispies

Hello Amorrow!

Thank you very much for puffing up this article! There's only one thing I'm a bit confused about: You changed the description of Rice Krispies that they are not puffed grain. However, there is still the mention of "Other products like Rice Krispies" as an example for puffed grain. Was this just overlooked?

Hi. This article answered a lot of my questions, but can you tell me what the "containment vessel" is? Are you talking about the hull surrounding the individual grain's kernal? Or the pressure cooker? What is the "seal" that get's broken? Thanks!

Emanuel, it's not really a what most people think of as a pressure cooker. The "shot from guns" terminology is fairly good. At one end of the gun barrel, you have the grain being accelerated by live steam and at the other end of the barrel, the grain escapes, and the internal pressure of the steam makes the grain explode. It's then rapidly cooled and dehydrated so that the grain doesn't collapse upon itself.

The link to "rice cakes" redirects to the article about mochi, a Japanese snack made from boiled (not puffed) rice.

[edit] Shot from Guns

Quaker was using the "shot from guns" advertising slogan as early as the 1930's; so, it would not seem to be inspired by a manufacturing change made in the 1950's. I'm not sure how best to update the paragraph.

[edit] Yuba?

Last I checked, yuba had nothing to do with puffed soybeans. 72.196.104.129 04:37, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Puffing in general

Puffed grain is the result of a process developed by Dr. Alexander P. Anderson

Name the process, and make a more general page about puffing, as non-grains can also be puffed, as you mention. Jidanni 12:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
