Jump to Recipe

For an easy vegetable side dish, make Instant Pot Corn on the Cob! Seriously, it is so easy! I will NEVER boil corn on the stove again! Pressure cooker corn on the cob is where it’s at!

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob

Every year we go to Bob’s Corn Maze & Pumpkin Farm in Snohomish, WA. It’s a tradition! We eat apple cider donuts, go through the corn maze, which is a different design every year. Then we buy a load of corn to take home!

We use the corn for salads, in soups, and of course, corn on the cob! Sometimes we make Mexican Street Corn, and it is so delicious!

Enjoy Instant Pot Corn on the Cob any time. You can even cut the cooked kernels off of the cob and use in a soup or salad.

Some tasty ways to enjoy your Instant Pot Corn on the cob are:

  • Just butter and salt
  • Lime, butter, chile powder
  • Garlic butter
  • Butter, parmesan, garlic
  • Chipotle butter
  • The possibilities are endless! Have fun with it!

Ingredients
  • 1-10 ears Corn on the Cob (you can cook just 1, or as many as you can fit in the pot)
Instructions
  1. Cut the ends off of the ears of corn (you can fit more in this way). Shuck it if you want to.

  2. Place the trivet in the pot, and pour in 1 1/2 cups of water (2 cups for the 8 qt)

  3. Stack the ears of corn in the pot. Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the sealing position.

  4. Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the + or - button or dial to select 2 minutes (3 to 4 minutes for unshucked corn). 

  5. When the cooking cycle is finished, turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to do a Quick Release of the pressure.

  6. When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and carefully remove the corn. Slather with butter and sprinkle with salt, and enjoy!

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is crisp and done perfectly, without boiling a big pot of water. You can cook several ears of corn at one time.

    This rather simple recipe will help us to get a delicious gluten-free dish. The fragrant corn on the cob will certainly delight with its juicy consistency.

    I wish I had an Instant Pot for this recipe alone! Waiting for a huge pot of water to boil is annoying when all you want is juicy corn on the cob!

    Thought at first this was a silly idea because it’s easy enough to just boil corn in water on the stovetop, however I was out of space on the stove to put a large pot of water so I tried this instead. Turned out perfect! Actually I think the corn tasted even better than my regular boiling in water.

    With corn season right around the corner, this is perfect timing. We love corn on the cobb. My grandchildren always ask for corn on the cobb. Always a hit at bbq parties during the summer months too.

    Should this be done on high pressure or low?

    I made this tonight, and it was excellent! You are right; I’ll never boil on the stove again. This tastes so much better.

    What would be the cooking time and release method for frozen mini cobs in an IP MINI?

      I haven’t tried those, however, since they are smaller I would try the time I gave in the recipe. If they need a little more time, just put the lid on and let them steam a little while longer in the residual heat.

    Turned out absolutely fabulous!! Glad I followed your timing, which said two minutes, rather than the others that only said one.

    I love cookingthe corn in the shucks but if they are too long, can I cut each ear in half?

      Yes, and if you are keeping the husks on, you may want to add a minute to the cook time.
