  • It's not a popcorn cooker.
    It's a Crispy Popped Rice cooker.
    The basic ingredients include plain rice, glutinous rice or wheat.
    The grains are sealed in the pressure cooker and dry cooked over a slow fire for about 10 minutes,
    until it starts to pop

    You need to spin it faster so it doesn't burn, and you shoot it into a canvas bag about six feet long, so you don't lose all the popcorn and make a mess. I've seen dozens of street vendors make popcorn this way in China. The popcorn is awesome and the explosion kicks ass.

      I watched a video of a factory with bigger ones. They just had a room to catch the popcorn from several cannons.
      Surprisingly, not a lot of ear protection.

    It took so long because the vessel was cold. If it was already pre-warmed up/hot, it would not take so long to build up pressure.

      yeah i think the timing is assuming you're actively using it...because that's not a personal use device, that's a vendor machine,something meant to service dozens of people with a high volume in a short time,ergo these things in official capacity are run for probably a few to several hours a day and never actually cool down because of that so a few minutes will be enough to reheat when it's probably never below 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

    My dad built one of those when I was a kid, it’s not for popcorn but regular corn or any other grain like rice, wheat, quinoa, sorghum or even macaroni. You have to spin faster to keep from getting burnt, it’s only dangerous in the hands of amateurs 😊 I spent many hours running it when I was 11 years old

    It took longer because they didn’t use the heat shield they normally use above the cooker when cooking. That keeps the heat from not just going up and away..

    The one dude thought it looked similar to puffed rice. Well, of course. That's literally how they make Rice Krispies, except the cannon is bigger.

    When you use this machine, you even don't need the kind of corn to make popcorn, it can make popcorn by all kinds of corns. Even the corn used to feed pigs and cattle.

      Smaller amount, faster spin, pre-warmed cooker = much better and faster popcorn

      It's a reference to the spaghetti western flicks where someone is described as being the "fastest gunslinger in the West." Seeing as myth Buster's studio is in San Francisco, it would be a factual statement from a geographic perspective as well.
