Summer Season is Corn Season
If there is one thing that my family all agrees on, it’s that we love corn on the cob. Here in SE Pennsylvania, when mid-August hits we can get some of the juiciest, most flavorful sweet corn from Jersey or from the farms in Lancaster. This corn is bursting with flavor and the perfect compliment to just about any dinner! Corn on the cob is also a popular side dish for summer barbecues and picnics.
This Instant Pot corn on the cob recipe offers SUCH an easy, fast alternative to the traditional methods of cooking corn. Typically we cook our corn on the cob by boiling in on the stove. Another favorite cook method is to grill corn on the cob.
When we are short on time, you can find us making our corn on the cob in the Instant Pot. A pressure cooker is a great way to cook corn in just minutes without compromising taste!

How to Cook the Perfect Instant Pot Corn on the Cob
As I said above, making corn on the cob in the Instant Pot (or any pressure cooker) is super easy to do. I can tell you that the IP has really helped us to eat more vegetables that ever before because they are so darn easy to cook quickly and effortlessly. So let’s dig right into some pressure cooker corn!
Instant Pot Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn shucked, halved
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 4 tbsp butter
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place corn on the bottom of the Instant Pot stainless steel pot. (I did not use the wire cooking rack for this recipe).
- Combine water and milk in a measuring cup and pour over corn.
- Season corn with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place a pat of butter on each ear of corn.
- Place the lid on the Instant Pot and make sure the vent is set to "sealing." Turn on pressure cooker mode for 6 minutes.
- When timer goes off and cooking has finished, allow the Instant Pot to release pressure naturally.
- After the pressure has released, remove from corn and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.
