Alright, I’m now a believer that the IP can really do popcorn! My first attempt failed – but once I tried it again I finally figured how to make Instant Pot Popcorn!

    Well, I LOVE my IP, but…..this was my first failure. I watched your video, and using your settings, I tried it 3 times – once with avocado oil & butter – second with just butter – third with less butter. The result was always the same. One or two kernals would pop, then nothing. The kernels would just sit in the oil slowly toasting to a dark golden brown, with no more pops. We thought perhaps we bought "old" popcorn, so we tested it on the stovetop – it worked. That's why we decided to try that third time with less oil. I'm disappointed and wondering if perhaps my model Instant Pot doesn't get hot enough to do the job. 🙁 I have a new IP DUO SV 9-in-1.

    TY for posting something I love. I do not have that type lid, wasn't thinking of buying one just yet, can I use the lid that came with the IP? Seems like I would, but would I lock it or just cover. Thank you.

    I've done this, but I used coconut oil. Its supposed to have a higher smoke point and can get hotter. Did you have any problems with the oil smoking due to the vegetable oil?
