Instant Pot Popcorn
Description
To prepare Instant Pot Popcorn, coconut oil is melted within the Instant Pot once it reaches a high sauté setting. Popcorn kernels and a small amount of popcorn seasoning salt are added and stirred to coat evenly. The lid is placed on, and the popcorn is cooked in sauté mode until popping slows, typically around 5 minutes. Once the popping nearly stops, the Instant Pot is taken off sauté mode, and the lid is removed after the final kernels stop popping.
This method uses the Instant Pot as a stovetop popcorn popper substitute, giving control over heat and cooking time. The coconut oil lends a light flavor while ensuring even popping and minimal burning. The seasoning salt adds a delicate finishing touch without overpowering the natural corn taste.
Serve the popcorn immediately for the best texture. This recipe yields a straightforward way to snack without a stovetop or microwave popcorn maker, useful if those alternatives are unavailable.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 1/2 teaspoon popcorn seasoning salt
Instructions
- Turn on the Instant Pot and press the sauté button followed by the adjust button. This should set your Instant Pot to a higher sauté setting. Wait 2 to 3 minutes for the pot to heat up.
- Add the coconut oil. When it melts, add the popcorn and seasoned salt. Stir to coat the popcorn with oil and salt.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and continue to cook on sauté mode for 5 minutes, or until the majority of the popping has stopped. Cancel the sauté mode wait about 1 minute until the kernels have completely stopped popping before removing the lid. Serve immediately.
