Instant Pot Corn on the Cob
Description
This recipe uses an Instant Pot with a trivet rack and one cup of water to create steam under pressure. Corn ears are arranged in layers, either husked or partially husked, and pressure cooked on high for 3 minutes. A quick release of pressure follows to stop cooking promptly, preserving moisture and texture.
The cooked corn is removed carefully with tongs and served immediately with butter, salt, and pepper. Steaming under pressure reduces cooking time compared to boiling and helps retain the natural sweetness and nutrients of the corn.
For storage, corn kernels can be cut off the cob and frozen in airtight bags up to eight months. Whole cooked corn cobs can also be wrapped and frozen, then thawed before reheating in a microwave or eating cold.
Ingredients
- 5-6 ears corn
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Add trivet rack to the instant pot and add 1 cup water.
- Remove husks from your ears of corn (or you can keep them on if you want to trim them down and husk them after the corn is cooked) and place in the instant pot. Lay 2 or 3 corn ears down first, then 2-3 on top of them, facing the opposite direction.
- Secure the instant pot lid and set the valve to sealing. Cook on Manual (High pressure) for 3 minutes.
- When the timer beeps, quick release any remaining pressure and then remove the lid.
- Use tongs to carefully remove the hot ears of corn from the pot. Serve warm with butter, salt and pepper.
Notes
- To freeze kernels, cut them off the cob, pack in freezer-safe bags with air squeezed out, and freeze for up to eight months.
- Freeze whole cooked cobs wrapped individually in foil and placed in freezer bags; thaw in the fridge before reheating or eating.
