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.
