On January 6, 2026, in Chongqing, China, @Yìnì shared a video showing a traditional popcorn-making demonstration using a hand-cranked pressure vessel. In the video, a person steadily heats the metal container over a small flame while continuously rotating it to distribute the heat evenly. Once the pressure gauge reaches the target level, the nozzle is directed into a long canvas bag and a lever is released, producing a loud pop as the pressure suddenly escapes. The bag quickly fills with freshly popped corn amid a dramatic rush of steam, highlighting the speed, spectacle, and classic charm of this old-style popcorn-making method.
