Notes
- You can also make this recipe with frozen corn. Just add the water, pile in the corn and cook in the instant pot for 5 minutes on high pressure.
- Corn on the cob with husks can be cooked in the Instant Pot for the same amount of time and then peeled afterwards.
- If you want a classic buttered corn instead of garlic butter, just butter the corn after it is done and season to taste with salt and pepper.
