One of the best traditions of summer are tender juicy ears of corn on the cob hot out of the pot, and dripping with butter with a sprinkling of salt! This is a quick and easy way to make this simple classic BBQ side dish.
Add rack to the Instant Pot and water to the inner liner of the Instant Pot. Stack corn inside.
Close lid, and cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. If husks are left on then add one minute. Follow with a quick release.
Remove water from inner liner, and add butter to pot. Turn on saute, and then turn off once melted. Add corn back in, and coat with butter.
Notes
To prepare from frozen, cook for 6 minutes on high pressure followed with a quick release. Use 1-2 cups of water in the inner liner for cooking.
Steamer basket - use a steamer basket for easy removal or the rack the came with your pot.
Multiple batches - if you are cooking multiple batches in the same pot be sure to refill with the minimum amount of water for your model each time.
Breaking in half - if you want or need to break the cobs into smaller pieces then once they are shucked grab each side firmly with both hands then bend until it breaks naturally.
Removing corn silk - if you have trouble removing the silk then use a damp paper towel and gently rub the corn to remove.
