Making popcorn from scratch is a breeze now. I was super excited to make the popcorn in the Instant pot. All I had to do was melt the coconut oil and butter, saute the corn kernels for a minute, cover the pot with a glass lid and then watch the popping magic.<\/p>\n<p>It was amazing and in 5 minutes the popping slowed down and I turned off the IP. Hands down, the popcorn was crispy and tasted better than the microwaved or store bought ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>I didn&#8217;t use the Instant Pot glass lid, one of the glass lids of my cooking pan fitted well on the Instant pot hence I used that. Make sure to use a lid that fits well.<\/li>\n<li>Popcorn is made in the Saute mode in\u00a0<strong>more temperature setting<\/strong>, moisture will build up under the glass lid and there will be slight dripping through the lid, just wipe it off using a kitchen towel and be careful while opening the lid- <strong>wear an oven mitt.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>I used organic refined coconut oil that can be used for medium high heat.<\/li>\n<li>Since, the temperature is kept at more or high, you have to use an oil with high smoke point (<strong>Smoke<\/strong><b> point<\/b>\u00a0refers to the temperature at which an oil starts to burn and\u00a0<b>smoke)<\/b>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid using<\/strong> extra virgin coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil- these have low smoke points.<\/li>\n<li>Pop 1\/2 to 3\/4 cup of corn kernels at a time. Do not use more that this as there will be a lot of unpopped kernels left in the pot.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>How to make Instant Pot Popcorn- Cooking video<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to make Instant Pot Popcorn the easy way\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GRfWYlWRD_0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24630\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Instant-Pot-Popcorn-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Instant-Pot-Popcorn-1.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Instant-Pot-Popcorn-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Instant-Pot-Popcorn-1-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Instant-Pot-Popcorn.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Instant Pot Popcorn-Easiest Way<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\"><span class=\"xlate\">Recipe Type<\/span>: <span class=\"type\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Thasneen<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <time itemprop=\"cookTime\" datetime=\"PT7M\">7 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <time itemprop=\"totalTime\" datetime=\"PT7M\">7 mins<\/time><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Organic refined coconut oil- 2 to 3 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Butter, unsalted- 1 to 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">Corn kernels- \u00bd to \u00be cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Turn on the Instant Pot.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Click the Saute button.
