Ingredients

½ Cup Popcorn Kernels
2 Tablespoons Oil

Instructions

Set your instant pot on saute and immediately place the oil inside your instant pot.
Allow the oil to heat up for about 2 minutes, or until your instant pot displays the word “hot” before placing your popcorn kernels in the pot.
Stir for about 1 minute before putting a lid on the top you can see through.
In about 2-3 minutes of heating while covered, you will start to hear the popcorn kernels popping.
Let it pop for about 5 minutes or until most of the kernels have popped. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

You will want to be able to see your popcorn kernels to ensure they are not burning after a couple minutes of popping. If you don’t have a glass lid, check under the ld 2 or 3 times while popping.
If your popcorn kernels are older, they will. not pop well, so make sure to use fresh kernels
It's fun to try different types of cooking oil when making instant pot popcorn. I used avocado oil, which resulted in a delicious flavor! Coconut oil is also a great alternative to try!
To get a more even pop, after every minute of popping, shake your instant pot to move around the popcorn. Unpopped kernels like to rest on already popped popcorn, which results in them not getting enough heat to pop. Moving the popcorn around helps these unpopped kernels get better heat.
If you want buttery popcorn, you can add 2 tablespoons of butter with the oil. Once it’s melted, you can add your popcorn kernels.
