Instant Pot® Popcorn

by

Description

I love popcorn cooked in oil but do not love the mess it makes on my stove, so I decided to give it a try in the Instant Pot®. Not only does the coconut oil give it that movie theater flavor, there was ZERO grease splatter. I listed salt as a generic seasoning but feel free to experiment with flavors such as powdered cheese, ranch powder, Frank’s® powdered Red Hot® seasoning, etc.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • ½ cup unpopped popcorn
  • salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Sauté function. When the display indicates the pot is hot
  2. add coconut oil and let it melt.
  3. Add popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula until kernels are coated. Wait 30 seconds and stir again; kernels should be making a sizzling sound at this point. Cover pot with the glass lid and cook for 5 minutes. Cancel Sauté mode and let sit until kernels have completely stopped popping
  4. about 1 minute.
  5. Transfer popcorn to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.
