KETTLE CORN POPCORN IN AN INSTANT (Instant Pot Recipe)

My husband and I love kettle corn – trips to the county fair or local festivals ALWAYS ended with a bag of kettle corn to take home AND “rationed” so we could enjoy it for days…With the help of my instant pot I can now make kettle corn at home it is DELICIOUS and so ADDICTING!!!

NOTES: You will want to use a high heat/smoke cooking oil – I use Refined Coconut Oil Neutral flavor with a 425º smoke point.

If you use white sugar, it will taste like kettle corn and if you use brown sugar, it will taste like caramel corn.

2 Tbsp Coconut oil or (high heat cooking)
2 Tbsp Salted Butter
3/4 Cup Popcorn Kernels
1/4 Cup Sugar

Dash of Salt (for Seasoning when popcorn is popped)

Set Instant Pot to sauté, (more or high) setting. Add butter and coconut oil, allow to melt completely and start to sizzle. Add popcorn kernels and sugar, stir well so all kernels are coated with oil and sugar. Place glass lid on top, popcorn will begin popping in about 2-3 minutes – with oven mitts on, occasionally – gently shake the pot to stir the corn, when you notice the popping slowing down and 3/4 of kernels have popped turn off your instant pot – unpopped kernels will continue to pop, continue to shake so the popcorn doesn’t burn. When popping has stopped carefully remove lid – sprinkle with salt and mix. Pour the popcorn into a bowl – close your eyes and take a handful and you will feel like you are at the county fair SO DELICIOUS AND YUMMY – It even tastes good the next day – if it lasts that long!
