Make popcorn in your Instant Pot with this easy recipe. 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, but there was also zero grease splatter!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ cup unpopped popcorn
- salt to taste
Directions
Step 1
Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot) and select Saut? function. When the display indicates the pot is hot, add coconut oil and let it melt.
Step 2
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 Saut? mode and let sit until kernels have completely stopped popping, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Transfer popcorn to a large bowl and sprinkle with salt.
Tips
Plan on more unpopped kernels than you would cooking it on the stove due to not being able to shake the Instant Pot around on the heat source like you would a pot on the stove burner. While there is more waste, popcorn is cheap and having no oil splatter is worth it to me.
