When the hot can is plunged into cold water, the vapor condenses quickly, leaving a vacuum in most of the can. The resulting large discrepancy between the outside and inside air pressure leads to a large net inward force on the can, ending with its rapid crushing.

Steam must displace the air inside the can; wait until you see a steady flow of steam exiting the spout, then immediately remove the can from the heat and place in the ice water bath.
As the hot steam cools and condenses to water, a vacuum is created inside the can and atmospheric pressure will crush it.
