Crock pot corn on the cob
Description
Crock pot corn on the cob is made by preparing fresh corn ears with olive oil, salt, and black pepper, then placing them in a crock pot containing water. Cooked on high for 3 to 4 hours, the corn softens fully and develops a vibrant yellow color. Brushing the cooked corn with butter enhances the flavor and texture. This slow cooking method is convenient for preparing corn without active stove-top attention and works well for cooking several ears at once.
The texture turns tender and juicy due to the moist heat environment created by the water in the crock pot. The olive oil aids in seasoning while the butter finish adds a creamy richness that complements the natural sweetness of the corn. The recipe suits casual meals and can be paired with grilled meats or salads.
To fit all the corn inside your crock pot, breaking the ears into smaller pieces is an option. Any size crock pot works as long as the corn fits comfortably without crowding.
Ingredients
- 8 corn on the cob
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- Husk and clean all the ears of the corn on the cob. Brush the olive oil on the corn and season with the salt and pepper.
- Add the 1 cup of water to the crock pot. Place the corn in the crock pot and cover.
- Cook on high for 3-4 hours. Once the corn is a bright yellow color and done. Rub the corn with the butter and serve warm.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- A 6-quart crock pot works well, but adjust the size to suit the number of corn ears and crock pot capacity.
- Breaking the corn into smaller pieces can help them fit if your crock pot is smaller.
