Corn on the Cob in the Instant Pot
Corn on the Cob in the Instant Pot
Today we are making corn on the cob in the Instant Pot—because boiling a giant pot of water for corn is just not the vibe when it’s hot, you’re busy, or you just want your food fast and easy. This method is quick, hands-off, and the corn comes out sweet, juicy, and totally perfect. Whether you’re feeding the whole family or just cooking for yourself and want something that tastes like sunshine—this one’s a win. Let’s go!
Ingredients:
4 ears of corn, husked and cleaned
1 cup water
How to Make It:
How to Make It:
Prep your corn:
Husk your corn and remove all the silks. Break the ears in half if you need them to fit better in the Instant Pot.Add to the Instant Pot:
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot. Place the trivet inside and lay the corn on top of it. You can stack them crisscross-style if needed.Pressure cook:
Close the lid and set the valve to Sealing.
Press Pressure Cook or Manual and set the timer for 2 minutes on High Pressure.
Quick release:
As soon as the timer beeps, carefully do a Quick Release by turning the valve to Venting.Serve:
Use tongs to remove the corn (it's hot!). Slather on your vegan butter, sprinkle on some salt, and maybe give it a little extra something—like a squeeze of lime or sprinkle of chili powder.
Tips:
Tips:
Cooking more than 4 ears? Stack 'em! The cooking time stays the same.
Add garlic salt, vegan parmesan, or everything bagel seasoning if you’re feeling fancy.
Leftover corn? Slice it off and toss it in salads, pasta, or a quick corn salsa!
And that’s it—corn on the cob made without turning on the stove or waiting forever for water to boil. Sweet, juicy, and ready in minutes. I love this for busy nights, BBQ sides, or honestly just as a snack straight off the cob.
The full written instructions are down in the description if you want to try it yourself.
