Ingredients
- 5 corn on the cob (3.34 pounds)
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon butter (You can add more if you like butter!)
Instructions
Instant Pot Method:
- Remove 5 corn on the cobs (3.34 pounds), husks and silk. Then, wash or rinse it.
- Break the corn into half.
- Put the corn into the instant pot and pour 1 cup of water. Close the lid and vent. Push the manual button to adjust time “0” minute at high pressure and naturally release pressure. (From start to building up the pressure, it takes around 13 minutes. Then, naturally releasing pressure takes about 8 minutes.)
- When the corn is done, open the lid and take the corn out.
- Put 1 tablespoon of butter into a small container and melt it in the microwave for 15 seconds. (You can use more butter if you like more butter!)
- Bush the melted butter on the cooked corn.
Top Stove Method:
- Remove 5 corn on the cobs (3.34 pounds), husks and silk. Then, wash or rinse it.
- Break the corn into half.
- Put the corn into the pot and pour 6 cups of water (enough water to fully submerge the corn). Cover the lid and turn on medium high fire. Let it cook until water boils. Once water starts boiling, turn the fire to medium small and set a timer for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to check the doneness or taste test method.
- When the corn is done, take the corn out.
- Put 1 tablespoon of butter into a small container and melt it in the microwave for 15 seconds. (You can use more butter if you like more butter!)
- Bush the melted butter on the cooked corn.
Notes
- Choose fresh and ripe corn. Look for cobs with bright green husks and plump, well-formed kernels. The silk should be slightly moist, not dry or wilted.
- Remove the husks and silk from the corn cobs just before cooking. You can pull back the husks and remove the silk by hand. This will allow the corn to cook evenly and absorb flavor better.
- If you choose to boil it, break the corn into half and put the corn into a large pot with enough water to fully submerge the corn. Turn on the fire to medium high. When the water boils, set a timer for 5 minutes. Check for doneness by using the fork or taste test method.
- If you like the instant pot method, break the corn on the cob into half. Then, put them into the instant pot. Pour 1 cup of water. Close the lid and vent, push the manual button, adjust time “0” minute at high pressure and naturally release pressure (It normally takes about 8 minutes).
- Melt the butter in the microwave for 15 seconds.
- When the corn is done, take them out and brush with melted butter.
