Ingredients

  • 6 ears of fresh or frozen corn on the cob (or however many you want to make and can fit in the Instant Pot)
  • 1 cup water
  • butter, salt, pepper, seasoning to taste, if desired

Instructions

  • Add one cup of water to the Instant Pot.
  • Place the metal trivet or rack in the pot.
  • Stack the corn so they fit in the pot best, or place them pointing up (if the lid can still fit.)
  • Alternatively, stack the corn on the cob in a steamer basket.
  • Lock the lid, turn the knob to Sealing.
  • Cook on manual high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • When the Instant Pot has completed pressure cooking and the display shows "L0:00", perform a quick release by turning the sealing knob to Venting.
  • Remove the lid, and remove the corn cobs to a serving platter or corn on the cob dishes.

Notes

  • If you leave corn on the cob in the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for too long, it can overcook and have the flavor and texture of canned corn. Avoid this by doing a quick release, then turning off the "keep warm" mode on the Instant Pot. You can return the lid, and the residual heat will keep the corn warm without overcooking it.
