Ingredients
- ½ cup popcorn kernels
- 2 tablespoons oil
Instructions
- Set your pot on saute and immediately place the oil inside your instant pot.
- Allow the oil to heat up for about 2 minutes, or until your instant pot displays the word “hot” before placing your popcorn kernels in the pot.
- Stir for about 1 minute before putting a lid on the top you can see through. You’ll want to be able to see your popcorn kernels to ensure they’re not burning after a couple minutes of popping. If you don’t have a glass lid, you’ll want to check every once in a while, under the lid.
- In about 2-3 minutes of heating while covered, you will start to hear the popcorn kernels popping. To get a more even pop, afterevery minute of popping, stir the popcorn or shake your instant pot to movearound the popcorn. Unpopped kernels like to sometimes rest on already poppedpopcorn, which results in them not getting enough heat to pop. Moving thepopcorn around helps these unpopped kernels get better heat.
- Let it pop for about 5 minutes or until most of the kernels have popped. Serve and enjoy!
