Instant Pot Corn On The Cob 🌽
Unlock the secret to perfectly cooked corn on the cob with your Instant Pot! This recipe delivers juicy, tender corn in minutes, making it a healthy and effortless side dish.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Trivet
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 4 ears sweet corn (fresh, husked, and silks removed)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or a dairy-free alternative like ghee for a healthier option)
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (to taste)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Get your Instant Pot ready by placing the trivet inside, then pour in 1 cup of water. This keeps your corn perfectly steamed!
- Carefully arrange the shucked corn on the cob ears on top of the trivet in the Instant Pot. You can stack them if needed, making sure they fit comfortably.
- Secure the lid, make sure the pressure valve is set to the "sealing" position, and set your Instant Pot to Manual (or Pressure Cook) on High Pressure for just 3 minutes. Don't worry, it'll take about 10 minutes for it to come to pressure before the 3-minute countdown begins.
- Once the cooking time is up, immediately switch the pressure valve to the "venting" position for a quick pressure release. Be cautious of the steam!
- When the pressure has fully released and the float valve drops, carefully open the lid. Use tongs to gently remove the perfectly cooked, juicy corn from the pot.
- Serve hot! Spread a bit of butter on each ear, and sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper to your liking for that extra pop of flavor. Enjoy this naturally sweet and healthy side dish!
