Ingredients

  • 1½ cups water
  • 6-8 ears of corn shucked and cut in half

Instructions

  • Prep and cook the corn: Add the water to the Instant Pot then place the trivet at the bottom. Place the corn on the trivet, cut ends down, the corn should fit snugly. Close the lid, set valve to sealing and set to pressure cook on high for 4 minutes.
  • Quick release the pressure: After the cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer’s guide for quick release. Carefully unlock and remove the lid from the instant pot.
  • Ready to serve: Transfer the corn to a plate and serve with butter and salt.

Notes

  1. If you wish to cook your corn in husks, make sure to add an extra minute to your cooking time so the corn cooks all the way through.
  2. Buy the freshest corn possible, see above question on "How to purchase corn on the cob?" for best tips on what to look for.
  3. Once you buy the corn, if you're not cooking it the same day, keep it fresh by storing it in the fridge with the husks on and tightly wrapped in a plastic bag.
  4. If you do end up having leftover corn on the cob, make sure to add them to an airtight container after they cool down and store them in the fridge. They will be good to eat for up to 3-4 days.
  5. You can also freeze your cooked corn on the cob, just make sure you freeze it in airtight containers or freezer bags.
  6. You can also freeze uncooked corn, by flash freezing it first. Simply place the corn on the cob in a pan or baking sheet, husks removed, place the pan in the freezer for a couple hours until corn is frozen. Remove the corn on the cob from the freezer, and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, freezer bags or airtight containers and freeze.
