INGREDIENTS
  • 4 ears corn on the cob (husks and silks removed (see note))
  • 1 cup water (use 1.5 cup for 8 quart Instant Pot)

    • INSTRUCTIONS
  • 1. Place 1 cup water in the Instant Pot inner pot (use 1 ½ cups water if using an 8 quart instant pot). Put the metal trivet in the bottom of the pot.
  • 2. Set the ears of corn on the trivet, alternating the direction of the corn ears in each layer of corn.
  • 3. Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position. Press the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" button and set the cook time to 2 minutes. The Instant Pot will take some time to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.
  • 4. When the cook time ends, quick release the pressure by carefully turning the steam release valve to the venting position (I do this using the handle of a long spoon). When all of the steam has escaped and the pin drops down, open the Instant Pot lid.
  • 5. Serve corn with butter, salt and pepper, or as desired.
