  • Umm

    you know there is a thin plastic skin inside? so i suggest you should put the can under the fire to burn off the plastic and then wash it

    • no problem

      the can is not enough heated for burning plastic.I tried and the popcorn is excellent.

    • Ok

  • most cans contain a super thin plastic

    Problem is most cans contain a super thin plastic liner to prevent acidic soda form reacting with the aluminum can so you would be eating melted plastic in the canola oil here.
    not so good.

  • Great idea!

    Combine this with the Cool Little Miniature Stove, and you've got a great backpacking trip ahead of you.

    Great Job! But why it costs 1$ ?? I found the can in the neighbour's rubbish :P:P:P It is much more inexpensive :P:P:P

    • Who knows

      What your neighbor did with that can? Better be on the safe side and just use one of your own!

  • impractical for a camp fire

    original, smart, and useful. Great video

  • Note...

    there is definitely a "point of no return" with this... i.e. 3 tsp of corn kernels is optimal. Add too much corn, and it will just burn. Also, if the hole in the can isn't big enough, the popped kernels will jam and clog the can, and the rest will burn. Experiment.

  • very clever

    i like it

    By stevenscorsese 1199205801
  • Yup

    That's what we did in the big house, once a week on Friday nights the warden would pick 5 lucky inmates to get a can of soda. Those of us that got them would try to smuggle them back to our cells so we could use them to make popcorn. How did we get the popcorn you might ask, well we traded smokes for it. How did we get smokes. We had our family bring them in for us. In the pen cigs are like cash.

  • Approximately

    how long would it take for the popcorn to fully be done poping if it was place over a normal candle with the flame barely touching it

    -thanx

  • fine and cool

    but how can i make such a surgical cut in the can??and direct it to the bowl,it's not as easy as it looks

    By fadygabr 1195603911
    • Hello

      Any simple knife will work, although if you're worried about making the blade dull you can use any number of sharp, thin objects.

      By tbtones 1262805645
  • Simple ones

    always seem to be the best

  • crative

    nice very creative mind you got there. maybe it is better if you improve the cut on the can so that the popcorn wont spill so much. much more like a box.
