Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 4 cobs of corn
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Prepare the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from each corn cob, ensuring the corn is clean and ready for cooking.
- Add Corn and Water to Instant Pot: Place the corn cobs inside the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water. Optionally, place the corn on a trivet, but it is not necessary.
- Seal and Cook: Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the ‘sealing’ position. Program the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 2 minutes.
- Pressure Release: Allow approximately 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to reach pressure. Once cooking time completes, perform a quick pressure release by carefully shifting the valve to ‘venting’.
- Serve: Carefully remove the corn from the Instant Pot and serve immediately with your favorite toppings such as butter, sea salt, and garlic powder.
Notes
- Using the trivet is optional, as it does not affect the cooking result significantly.
- Quick pressure release prevents overcooking and keeps corn tender-crisp.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if using larger or smaller corn cobs.
- Add seasonings after cooking to customize flavor.
