Steps:
- On the Instant Pot, hit Sauté and adjust so you're on the More or High Setting. Add the coconut oil where it will melt into liquid as it heats. Once the display reads Hot, you're ready to pop!
- Add in ONLY 5 kernels and cover with a glass lid that's slightly larger than the circumference of the liner pot (you can use any glass lid you have for your pots/pans/skillets that fit).
- Once 3 of the 5 kernels pop (about 1-2 minutes), remove the lid and add in the rest of the kernels and then immediately shake the liner pot back and forth so the kernels are in an even layer. Place the glass lid back on and within about 5 minutes, all of the popcorn will be popped! (NOTE: Make sure you carefully shake the pot around every so often as it's popping for even distribution of the kernels. This ensures the max amount of popping.)
- Once the popping becomes very intermittent, hit Keep Warm/Cancel to turn the pot off. Remove the liner pop and let rest for 2 minutes and take the lid off, carefully keeping your face away from the pot in case any last second poppers shoot out of the pot and into your mouth (although, that would be impressive).
- Grab your favorite movie, transfer the popcorn to a large serving bowl and top as you wish!

INSTANT POT® POPCORN
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.
