Notes

Tips

The First & foremost tip is to avoid using butter. Butter gets burnt at the bottom of an instant pot. Use it after popping up and mix nicely.
Once you see HOT on the display screen then add coconut oil. Let the oil heat for 2 minutes before adding kernels. This step is actually very important.
Do not stuff instant pot with popcorn kernels. Ideally, ⅓ quantity is good enough to cover the bottom of the 6qt instant pot evenly.
Close the pot with a glass lid. While it helps to maintain the temperature of the inside pot, it also helps to avoid spluttering oil. Be careful.
Once popping sounds go down, CANCEL the SAUTE mode, and take out the insert pan.
Don't let stay popcorns in instapot for longer, transfer to a bowl asap
