I found this incredibly hard to pop. Most of it wouldn't pop or just burned. Is there an easier way to do this such as in the microwave? Also, saw recipes of puffed rice using salt (murmura). Would a technique like that work with sorghum?

Hi there! We have found that some varieties of sorghum are better poppers than others. It might be helpful to try different brands and experiment. We'd be curious to hear if the salt technique works. Keep us posted!
