Want to pop the perfect popcorn in your Instant Pot? Seems easy enough, right? There’s a trick to it. You can’t just use any oil and or coconut oil. The kind of oil …
Since I hate microwave popcorn, I will give this a try when I get my Insta pot …
THANKS 😀😀😀
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 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. 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.
Yes you can make popcorn in the Instapot but not the best. The issue is two fold, the lid is not vented and too tight fitting. This will lead to slightly tough popcorn that never really popped to it's maximum potential. The second reason is you will have to be there to gently shake the pot to reduce the chances of scorching the kernels and popcorn. A better alternative is a thin walled, aluminum popcorn popper with split hinge lid and crank operated bottom stirrer, better known as a Whirl-Y-Pop popcorn popper. Amazingly for the price of a second 6 quart stainless steel liner for your Instapot you can buy a Whirl-Y-Pop. You are only going to do this in the Instapot if your kitchen is really, really puny like you find in a small motor home or you live in a shipping container apartment.
I tried to use butter the butter burned how do I prevent the buring of butter
Where did you get that instant pot lid I didn't get one with mine like that.
Nailed it! Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for the video, everything explained well… u mentioned u can also use canola oil yes? Great video
Explained everything about how to properly pop in an instant pot.
I love the tips on making popcorn my child's favorite snack thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing!
Can I make it without butter or it will burn?
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you
You can also use avocado oil. It also has a high smoke point.
When people still think coconut oil is low in saturated fat because Oprah said so..
I love this! The coconut oil is amazing for this. Also try avocado oil. It's so buttery in flavor, yet healthy like coconut oil. Both alternatives are addictively delicious, and the avocado oil is also a perfect popcorn topping instead of butter!
I can make perfect popcorn in my Duo plus but can't seem to in my Ultra mini. Seems like it cycles off and on in the saute mode. Any suggestions.
I just subbed to your channel 🙂 great video, i had no idea so many things could be made in an instant pot. Im gonna use avocado oil, it was a smoke point of 500 degrees 😱😱😱
I don't have coconut oil or ghee. Can I use cooking oil and butter? or Just butter?
That spoon is so cute
No canola oil no good for you but everything else is great I Love Popcorn
Yum – I'm going to make some this afternoon.
Thanks for the tip on smoke point of the oil you use. Maybe that could have been stated earlier in the video? Either way, your video helped me just cook my first batch of popcorn and I thank you for that! Peace.
Forget the popcorn, I want to know where you got that wooden spoon at 3:15 it’s damn cute 🙂😍
Having trouble hearing you. I liked your info on type of coconut oil etc but am missing what you are saying during middle part
GREAT DEMO!!!! I made mine with ghee and butter and it came out perfect. With the Ghee and butter you don't have to add butter once popped unless you're someone who likes extra butter like myself. And it yielded 6 cups.
Our oil popper with refined coconut oil will make 2/3-cup of "mushroom" popcorn kernels yield almost six quarts — not six cups— of fluffy popcorn.
Also another secret: get finely flaked salt (not normal crystalized) to bring out more flavor. We use a brand called Flavacol.
Looks great!! Will definitely try it next! Ruby loves popcorn!!!!
