Skip the store-bought microwave popcorn and make Homemade Instant Pot Popcorn with just two simple ingredients. It’s easy, creates less mess and in a matter of minutes you'll have delicious popcorn that turns out perfect every single time.
Set the temperature setting on your Instant Pot to the saute mode 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 a single layer, into the melted oil in the inner pot.
Stir for about 1 minute before putting a clear glass lid on the top you can see through.
In about 2-3 minutes of heating while covered, you will start to hear the popcorn kernels pop.
Let it pop for about 5 minutes or until most of the remaining kernels have popped. Carefully remove the popcorn from the pot and serve!
