MythBusters: Is it a Chinese popcorn cooker ? 

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.

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

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.

Remember Wheat Puffs? "Shot from Guns". I've had crackling rice soup with this in it.

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

Got to laugh at the bomb suit. Guys in China used this popcorn maker on the side of the streets.

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.

Love how they're like it takes so long to pop when they used an enormous amount in a huge cooker lol

"If we just find pieces, can I have your watch?" Lol

0:51 The pressure gauge with the red star is hilarious. Now why was the brand name blurred out?

I think it's only fast if you use a regular sized one.

PUFFED -lived in Akron Ohio during the Quaker Oats days puff rice was shot from cannons you could hear the explosions all day.

i have been eating this since i was a child. its extremely safe

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?

a bag wouldnt be fun

穿防爆服可笑死我了，还有，麻袋呢？😂

All species of corn wil pop with this tool

How did I miss this episode?

the water doesn't vaporize until the pressure is released. dunno why that guy said it did.

oh now i want one.....

往天上喷这不是爆米花，是暴风雪。

"Fastest popcorn cooker in the west!" Surely he means in the east?

They don’t have the proper equipment, and that’s why it’s dangerous. With all the necessary stuff, it’s relatively safe.

Here after seeing it on TikTok

Anyone knows how to buy that kind of machine?

So the Chinese invented Rice Krispies too?

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.

Did they call Alton Brown for this?

.very funny

I call BS! Fastest?? How?? Popcorn in microwave is 2.3 minutes!! Yours is passed 8 minutes. False advertisement

man they botched this one

The narration's pause at mention of it's Chinese origins seem kinda xenophobic.

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