Hey Joyce, I simply take the whole pot by the handles and give it a shake. Use oven mitts of course so you don't burn yourself.

How do you shake the pot? The whole instant pot?

Great tip Matt! It's something even I missed!

Make sure your readers use a glass lid without the little hole in it as the hole let's out too much heat. Led to unpopped kernels. Switched to a lid without a hole and it was perfect. Also to prevent burning if using vegetable oils, double the tbls spoons from 2 to 4.

Hey Christine! I hope it worked out for you, I have never heard of mixing the soy with butter as a topping, but it's salty..so I can see the appeal! I'll have to try it!
