Instant Pot corn on the cob makes juicy, tender, perfect corn on the cob with zero effort every time! Once you pressure cook corn on the cob, you’ll be in it for good!
If you haven’t tried pressure cooker corn on the cob, you are missing out!!! I totally get the hype after doing it myself! It’s as easy as shucking the corn (or not!), adding liquid, setting the cook time, and walking away. When it’s done, you have super juicy, tender, perfect corn on the cob that you barely worked for. It’s truly…magical!
Instant Pot corn on the cob ingredients
You need 2 ingredients to make Instant Pot corn on the cob:
- corn on the cob – as few as 1 ear or as many as will fit
- liquid – water or broth
Can I leave husks on corn on the cob in the Instant Pot?
Yes! In fact, it’s more efficient to shuck corn after it has pressure cooked. The silks and husks are much easier to remove and are less likely to make a mess in your kitchen than when you shuck them raw.
