Instructions
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).

Jeffrey's Tips
If you’re allergic to coconut oil, many say that Ghee (clarified butter) also works – but it MUST be clarified butter and not regular. Use 2 tablespoons.If some kernels didn’t pop, that’s fine! They just weren’t meant to be and this is a common issue no matter the method of making popcorn.You must use coconut oil (preferably refined) to achieve successful popcorn in your Instant Pot. This is because refined coconut oil has a very high heat tolerance and won’t burn where as canola, vegetable corn and olive oil won’t be quite as tolerant if heating for this long.
