How To Make Instant Pot Corn on the Cob
- Add water and then the trivet to the bottom of the Instant Pot insert.
- Place the first 3 corn ears on top of the trivet, then stack the other 3 on top perpendicular to the bottom row (facing opposite direction).
- Place the Instant Pot lid on and turn the valve to the sealing position. Set to manual pressure / high pressure for 3 minutes. When done, perform a quick release of pressure.
- Carefully remove Instant Pot corn on the cob, top with the flavorings of your choice, and serve.
Tips For Success
- Make sure to perform a quick pressure release to avoid mushy, overcooked corn.
- Serving to the kids? Cut the cobs in half before cooking corn to fit those smaller hands better.
- Instead of trying to spread butter on your Instant Pot corn, try this hack: put dairy-free or regular butter inside a large zip top plastic bag and add the freshly cooked corn. Seal the bag and use your hands to roll the corn cobs around corn until they are evenly coated in butter.
- After cooking, pour out the water and melt a stick of dairy free butter (or regular) in the Instant Pot insert. Then drizzle or brush on top of the corn before serving.
Delicious Variations
- Leave on the Husks: Cut off the bottom of the ear of corn just above the stem and cook as directed. Once cool enough to handle safely, hold at the top, pinching the husk and silks, squeeze and push the ear of corn out of the bottom.
- Cook on Campfire or Grill: No Instant Pot? No problem. Light your campfire or grill to medium heat. Spray or lightly rub corn with olive oil, then grill about 4 minutes per side, making sure to turn it every few minutes.
- Add seasoning: Cook corn, then add some creole seasoning, Italian Seasoning, or homemade seasoned salt before serving.
- Try Different Toppings: top your cooked corn with Parmesan cheese, fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, or make Mexican street corn by topping with lime juice and zest, salt, and chili powder.
Meal Prep and Storage
Prep Ahead – a few days in advance, you can remove the husks and silks, then store corn in an airtight container, a freezer safe bag or wrap in foil, and then store it in the fridge until needed.
Storage – Cooked corn on the cob can be stored in an airtight container or wrapped in foil and refrigerated for up to 5 days.
FAQs
Yes, you can! Pick up a package of frozen corn on the cob from your local market and then cook according to this recipe. You will need to add an extra minute of cook time (4 minutes total) to make sure your frozen corn cooks thoroughly.
Mexican Corn on the Cob, also known as street corn, is corn on the cob that is topped with lime zest, chopped cilantro, salt, and chili powder. Sometimes it is served with the addition of crumbled Queso Fresco (Mexican cheese), which gives the Mexican style corn a delectable creaminess.
