MythBusters: Is it a Chinese popcorn cooker ?

[@rgubry]

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.

[@LOL60345]

also lets everyone know hes in the neighborhood !

[@houstonhorse7877]

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.

[@isaacneufeld6411]

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

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

Cool story bro.

[@GinsuSher]

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

[@microdesigns2000]

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

[@punbug4721]

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

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

[@自由吗]

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.

[@Alchemy.Gaming]

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

[@JasonP6339]

A cooker that was also cold rather than being already warmed up...... Smaller amount, faster spin, pre-warmed cooker = much better and faster popcorn

[@gihuang6805]

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

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

Are you still extremely safe?

[@ShenDoodles]

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

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

[@1985wolfman]

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

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

Because he's a misinformed goon, made for TV.

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

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 .

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

[@vangogh2486]

American style stealing edition

[@totallylegityoutubeperson4170]

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.

[@N0body247]

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.

@@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

[@glennthisfieldisblank838]

@@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.

[@Romanian77]

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

[@blueberrysquid0950]

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

[@MustertheBrohirrim]

man they botched this one
