- 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.
also lets everyone know hes in the neighborhood !
Mythbusters did it wrong
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.
Got to laugh at the bomb suit. Guys in China used this popcorn maker on the side of the streets.
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
Cool story bro.
Ya shure
Bet that thing could make 3 family sized boxes of rice krispies with 20 cents worth of rice.
Corn pop was a bad dude.
Funny to see the miniature versions of these popping off these days.
Remember Wheat Puffs? "Shot from Guns". I've had crackling rice soup with this in it.
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.
0:51 The pressure gauge with the red star is hilarious. Now why was the brand name blurred out?
Sorry guys, you did this wrong.
This thing pops everything not just corns, it does same for rice, quinoa or any seed base products.
Love how they're like it takes so long to pop when they used an enormous amount in a huge cooker lol
A cooker that was also cold rather than being already warmed up......
Smaller amount, faster spin, pre-warmed cooker = much better and faster popcorn
1:45 Jamie: "It reminds me of water heaters about to explode."
Alton: "Ah. I remember that."
Why am I not surprised Alton Brown is a Mythbusters fan?
Why else would he be there
@@liamhansolo1464As a "food expert" shoehorned in. Food Network is owned by Discovery, so he would have been fodder to use at no extra cost or contract conflicts.
I would probably consider using a different pressure guage.
All this safety stuff is very American. Along with the union labor to produce the show . In China that got Chinese guys doing this on the street one Chinese man one popcorn cannon .
"If we just find pieces, can I have your watch?" Lol
I think it's only fast if you use a regular sized one.
i have been eating this since i was a child. its extremely safe
Are you still extremely safe?
2:29 if there was ever a time for the mice in the warehouse to be happy, it is now!
the water doesn't vaporize until the pressure is released. dunno why that guy said it did.
Because he's a misinformed goon, made for TV.
How did I miss this episode?
Like everything else important you missed in life.
@@totallylegityoutubeperson4170 I didn't miss getting to third base with your mom.
@@PhantomPanic That was your dad, bro.
@@totallylegityoutubeperson4170 You're right. He probably got some too along with the rest of the neighborhood.
@@PhantomPanic No, you had sex with your dad.
往天上喷这不是爆米花,是暴风雪。
All species of corn wil pop with this tool
where is the catch bag?
is it legal in use?
where is the link to buy one?
oh now i want one.....
there are small versions of this on amazon and ebay. That is how I just found this video.
a bag wouldnt be fun
穿防爆服可笑死我了,还有,麻袋呢?😂
Anyone knows how to buy that kind of machine?
Aliexpress
Hurry up and buy!
The narration's pause at mention of it's Chinese origins seem kinda xenophobic.
and in under 2 mins my microwave can make a small bag of popcorn vs their 9 mins,. i could of made 4 small bags in that time.
of microwave popcorn though.
@@glennthisfieldisblank838 yea the microwave popcorn button for mini bags not full bags is 2.30 so basically 4bags microwave is 1200 watts.. like 6 months old
@@N0body247 but what you end up with is that rancid oil and too much salt and microwaved popcorn... there's nothing better about microwave popcorn. Look at how much packaging there is and that's enough to reject it.
@@glennthisfieldisblank838I prefer to work harder not smarter.
They did not TRANSLATE from MANDARIN. Mandarin is SPOKEN WORD not written text. You don't read Mandarin you speak it. You read Chinese.
"Fastest popcorn cooker in the west!" Surely he means in the east?
American style stealing edition
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.
Here after seeing it on TikTok
Me too, it's funny watching them do it wrong with all this unnecessary equipment when I've watched teenage girls do it easily and safely
@@kwirkLAYou watched teenage girls do it? Disgusting!
They don’t have the proper equipment, and that’s why it’s dangerous. With all the necessary stuff, it’s relatively safe.
shawty was fine tho..
Really... Blast shield for popcorn...
Can we just give California to Canada and get it over with!
We can trade for you guys taking Celine Deon back.
What makes you think we'd take it? Ask Spain.
Did they call Alton Brown for this?
No your mom did.
So the Chinese invented Rice Krispies too?
Most likely
No, I did.
man they botched this one
Reminds you of your childhood, huh?
Nope

This thing pops everything not just corns, it does same for rice, quinoa or any seed base products.
