- Once butter and oil have melted, add in the popcorn kernels
- Stir the kernels to coat evenly with the mixture
- Spread kernels out over the bottom of the InstantPot
- Cover the InstantPot with a glass lid leaving a slight crack for ventilation-not too much or butter will fly out and could burn someone
- Once popping slows down to 1 pop per second, turn off the InstantPot

- Enjoy!
- Garnish with additional seasonings if you want such as parmesan, lime salt, white cheddar seasoning, etc
