This easy Instant Pot corn on the cob recipe will make cooking corn so on the cob quick and easy. Corn is a great side dish in the summer since it’s fresh. You can even cook ahead and eat later.
Instant Pot Corn on the Cob
This corn on the cob recipe uses milk which makes the corn extra sweet. If you haven’t cooked corn on the cob with milk before it may seem unusual, but trust me, it makes the corn tender and sweet.
The addition of milk produces a very tender and sweet corn.
Some people like to add sugar to their corn, but I don’t think it’s necessary. For one, I’m not a proponent of adding sugar unless you need to contradict another flavor (like something too salty). Second, it’s just not necessary in corn if you get good, fresh corn. But add if you usually do.
How to Make Corn on the Cob in the Instant Pot
Husk and clean fresh corn. Remove all the strings and break the corn in half. You can just hold the corn in two hands and break — this is very therapeutic. Or, you can be more civilized and cut with a kitchen knife.
Salt and pepper each corn on the cob piece. I like to rub the salt and pepper into the corn a bit using my hands.
Set up your Instant Pot and place corn on bottom.
Mix the milk and water in a small bowl and pour into the Instant Pot, covering the corn.
Top each piece of corn with a pat of butter.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and secure. Set the vent to seal. Then set the time for 6 minutes.
Release the pressure and take the lid off. Remove the corn.
