So the other day I posted the greatness that is the Chicken BBQ sliders, but I also had some amazing corn on the cob on the plate that day, and I wanted to take a second to talk about it. =)
My hubby LOVES corn on the cob. In fact, every time I send him to Walmart on his own he comes back with a bag of 25 cent per cob corn that I have to find a way to work into almost every single dinner that week. But for a lot of ways that it’s cooked, corn on the cob is a royal pain. You grill it (which I love) but requires constant supervision. You boil it (also constant supervision). You do whatever to it, but what I do? I Instant Pot it.
Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 Multi-Use Pressure Cooker, 6 Qt | Stainless Steel
This baby is my GO TO kitchen appliance. I love it SO MUCH I have two. Two. Yes, I said two. If I could justify it I’d probably own three, but I can’t.
It’s like a crockpot hyped up on steroids. I make ALL KINDS of meals in here, but one of the easiest things is perfectly cooked corn on the cob.
INSTANT POT CORN ON THE COB:
-Remove the husks and silk from the corn and rinse.
-Place 1/2 cup water in the stainless steel insert inside the pot.
-Place your corn directly in the pot in the water.
-Salt your corn and I also place about 2 tbsp butter on top.
-Put on the lid and turn the knob to sealed.
-Hit Manual button and set for 3 minutes.
-I usually do a manual release of pressure, but that’s just pure laziness on my part because I’m generally fixing something else at the moment. You can do a quick release if you like too.
Done. Perfect, fabulous tasting corn.
