Instant Pot Popcorn

5 Ingredient - Tips

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.

Tips

Directions

Step 1

Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select High Saute function. When the display indicates the pot is hot spoon coconut oil into the pot 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 on and cook for 5 minutes. Cancel Saute 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.
