Ingredients
- 3 tablespoon clarified butter ghee or coconut oil
- ¾ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Get all the ingredient placed near the pot. Have your glass lid and wooden spatula next to the pot.
- Select SAUTE button and adjust until light is on MORE. Wait till the display indicates HOT.
- Add clarified butter or coconut oil and leave it to melt completely. You want to wait until you see oil sizzle.
- Add salt. Using 2 kitchen towels to prevent your hand from burning, lift up the inner pot and swirl it around making sure to spread and coat the base with oil and salt.
- Start by adding a few popcorn kernels inside the pot and wait until it pops (cover glass lid on top). This might take a few seconds. Popcorn kernels will heat up and then pop.
- When you see couple of them pop, add rest of popcorn kernels. Place the glass lid on top leaving slightly ajar for steam to escape.
- Lift the inner pot and shake briefly once after 30 seconds or so.
- Popcorn will start popping after 3 to 4 minutes. The popping will continue.
- Once the popping slows down, when you can count 3 between pops, remove the inner pot from the cooker and let it sit for 1 or 2 minutes. Un-popped kernels will pop. You want to have ‘almost’ all popcorn kernels to pop.
- Swirl the pop once again. Transfer to serving popcorn tubs and serve immediately as it is as flavor it up as mentioned above.
Notes
- You can easily double or triple the recipe. Cooking time will vary. I recommend you do in multiple smaller batches if you want a big batch.
