Instant Pot Corn On the Cob

RV kitchens are small and you may feel restricted on what you can cook while camping. But you don’t need to! An Instant Pot is the perfect answer to cooking foods that you love without having to worry about where to store lots of pots and pans.

Usually you would need a large pot to boil corn on the cob, but you can easily cook corn on a cob in an Instant Pot!

If you have an Instant Pot steamer basket or insert, you can make corn on the cob.

Happily your Instant Pot can also cook other foods, such as:

How to Cook Corn in an Instant Pot

Yields: 4 servings
Prep Time: 1 Minute
Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Corn On the Cob, shucked
  • 1 ½ Cups Water

Items Needed:

  • 6-Quart or Larger Instant Pot
  • Instant Pot Steaming Basket or Insert

Directions

Step 1

Place your insert inside your Instant Pot and place the corn on the cob on top of it.
Add the water and secure the lid.

Step 2

Place the pot on high pressure/manual and set the cooking time to 2 minutes.

It will take about 5-10 minutes for the pot to pressurize and then the 2 minutes will start counting down.

Step 3

Let the pot naturally release for 5 minutes and then manually release it afterwards.

Remove the corn and enjoy.

Helpful Tips

  • Corn on the cob can be big, so if you are wanting to do full pieces, you will want a larger Instant Pot to work with. The one pictured is 6 quarts.
  • For smaller Instant Pots, you can slice your cobs into smaller chunks and cook it that way instead. Do not change the process or cooking time.
  • I used a steamer basket, but the insert the Instant Pot comes with is just fine. You just don’t want the corn touching the bottom of the pot.
