Instant Pot Flavor Bomb Corn on the Cob [Recipe + Video] (2024)

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob with a flavor bomb! Best corn for 4th of July. The longer it sits in the buttery, milky, yummy goodness, the better!

Corn on the cob cannot be simpler than cooking it in a Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker and it only takes a few minutes.

No longer do you have to stand over a stove, waiting for water to boil.

Just pop these babies into your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker and in a few minutes, you have nice and hot buttery Corn on the Cob.

After one bite of my Pressure Cooker Corn on the cob, you will never go back to plain corn on the cob again!

Cast of Ingredients for Instant Pot Corn on the Cob

• Corn
• Butter
• Heavy Cream, Half & Half or Milk
• Sugar
• Salt

The corn will bathe in the flavored liquid and the longer you let it sit in all the deliciousness, the better!

For an incredible treat to your mouth, you have got to try my Mexican Corn on the Cob Street Food (Elote) recipe which is made on the charcoal grill. Additionally, if you want to use your air fryer, oven or Mealthy Crisplid (this accessory turns your Instant Pot into an air fryer!!!!!), try this Elote, Corn on the Cob recipe instead.

Since we are using Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker, the corn will only cook for a very short amount of time.

Will Milk Curdle for Instant Pot Corn on the Cob?

• No, not really.
• Try using whole milk or heavy cream for a richer flavor.
• The gunk you may see is the mil fat separating. It is not curdled!

Summer is the best time of the year for corn. Try my Fresh and Simple Corn Salsa Recipe and bring it to your next gathering.

During the winter,Pressure Cooker Vegetarian Corn Chowder Soup is delicious and can be made with fresh or frozen ears of corn.

Can the Recipe be Doubled?

• Yes, You can add as much or as little corn as you like.
• The corn does not necessarily need to sit in the liquid.
• After cooking, just rotate the corn around, so that all the corn gets to soak in the liquid gold.

You can add as much corn that will comfortably fit in the pot. Standing them up may help if you want to cook a lot.

There is a way to avoid the gunk/milkfat from sticking to the corn.

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob on a Trivet

• If you are concerned about the milkfat separating, you can put the corn on top of a trivet rather then in the liquid.
• After cooking, remove the trivet and then just strain the pieces of milkfat from the liquid and pour it back into the pot with the corn.

Those who want to enjoy the corn soaked in the flavor bomb liquid can. Those who want plain corn can grab their piece before the corn goes into the liquid.

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob made in this delicious liquid is a thing of beauty.

Let the corn stay warm in the pot until you are ready to serve. Rotate the corn or give the pot a shake every once in a while. You want to make sure all the ears get a nice liquid gold bath.

Be prepared for some juicy corn with this flavor infusion!!!!!

Of course, you can always just cook plain corn on the cob with just water.

But, that would be boring.

Can Frozen Corn Be Used for Instant Pot Corn on the Cob.

Yes, you can have corn on the cob with my flavor bomb all year long.

When using frozen corn on the cob, you won’t need to add any water to the cooking pot.

The ice that melts from the frozen corn is enough.

Serve with Pressure Cooker BBQ Pork Spare Ribs, Pressure Cooker Holiday Baked Beans and Pressure Cooker Summer Picnic Potato Salad.
