Turn on the instant pot and select ‘sauté’, press temperature to show ‘more’ or ‘high’.
When the instant pot shows that it’s hot, 3-5 minutes, add the coconut oil and stir until melted.
Add the corn and ½ tsp salt, stir until corn is well coated in oil.
Continue to heat for another 30 seconds, the corn kernels will begin to sizzle.
Cover with a glass lid and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the instant pot and allow the popcorn to sit until there are no more kernels popping.
Transfer to a large bowl and pour over the melted butter.
Toss and adjust seasoning to taste.
Store leftover popcorn in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- Use a glass lid from any pot large enough to cover the instant pot.
