Hi all,
Well I was thinking about posting this up for quite some time now and finally got round to doing it. I have this Chinese popper/roaster
machine that my Mum bought back from China many years ago (Yeah, don't even ask!), it's been hanging around in the shed and it's time
for it to either be used, turned into scrap or some kind of strange garden ornament. If you've ever been to China you may have seen
one used on the street but more likely heard it and ducked for cover, it's really LOUD!
Now I'm not saying that it's designed for coffee, heck who knows if that would even work or what would happen as it's primary use is
for popping corn, wheat, rice etc. That's right, home made Rice bubbles and puffed wheat. Now I thought if anybody was keen enough
to try it out I'd probably find them here. So what you do with it is put it over a flame/fire or any kind and heat it up, there's
a pressure gauge that lets you know when to let it "Pop" which you do by putting the front inside a large sack which is attached to
something to stop it flying away and then kick/bang open the release at which point a small explosion occurs, the result of which
is you have fresh puffed grains of your choosing. That sounds simple enough right, I mean, how hard can it be?
Here's some in action:-
PUFFED RICE SHOT SHOT FROM GUNS ! - YouTube
Amazing popcorn cannon (China) - YouTube
Looks safe enough, right? I'm in Adelaide, if you think it's worth a go please let me know. It's a little rusty but that's just surface and
when bought it had been used/tested by the street guy quite a few times, however:
Here's my disclaimer: I take NO responsibility for any loss or injury or divorce that may result from it's use OK :-)
