3-Minute Instant Pot Corn on the Cob

This 3-Minute Instant Pot Corn on the Cob recipe makes the most amazingly tender and perfect corn every time! It’s easy and fast. And you don’t need to worry about counting minutes, testing for doneness, or anything like that.  

As I’ve mentioned, summer is one of my favorite season of the year. And one of the things I love about it…is corn!!

Grilled, steamed, microwaved, in salads, as a side dish, as a topping for burgers and hot dogs, in short … you name it I like it.

What not to love? it’s juicy. It’s super sweet. It’s easy and fast to make. And when the corn kernels burst in your mouth with every bite, It’s like a party of yumminess. 

Since I make so much corn on the cob during the summer, of course, I needed to try to make it in the Instant Pot! I mean. I know that cooking corn on the stovetop is easy and quick too, but I found out that using the Instant Pot makes the process even easier and faster. And it makes the most amazingly tender and perfect Corn on the Cob every time.

Plus, you don’t need to worry about counting minutes, testing for doneness, or anything like that.  

How to make Corn on the Cob in the Instant Pot?

1. Add 1 cup water to the pressure cooking pot.
2. Place the steam rack that comes with the instant pot, or a steamer basket, inside the pot.
3. Lay corn on the rack. Secure the lid to the Instant Pot, close pressure valve and select “manual” or “high pressure” and cook for 3 minutes.
4. When the time is over, carefully turn the valve to “venting” to release the pressure. Then remove the lid. Press “Cancel”.
