Quick tip for the rice trick, use whole grain rice instead of white rice. The “pop” comes from the release of water inside the kernel. A lot of this comes from the endosperm that is removed when white rice is refined. The bran and outer husk will increase the pressure inside the rice kernel as well so more of them should pop.

Those poppers are normally used with tea lights (mini candles) had you used a candle and not the blow torch the pop corn and rice likely would not have been burnt. The candle allows the temperature and pressure to build slowly giving more uniform puffing to the food.
