Instant Pot Corn on the Cob

Two minutes is all it gets

Corn is the fastest thing I cook in this pot. Five minutes of prep, two minutes under pressure, and it lands on the table hot and sweet. A big pot of water on the stove takes longer than that just to come to a boil.

Husking is the only real job. Pull the husks and the silk off over the compost bin and you save yourself picking strands off the counter later. Future you says thanks.

Vent it right away

This cook uses a quick release, which just means you open the valve as soon as the timer ends and let the steam out yourself. Corn waits for nobody. Leave it sitting while the pressure drops on its own and it keeps cooking in the heat.

Two minutes gives you corn that still has some bite to it. If you like yours softer, give it one more minute next time and make a note of it, because you will forget by next week. I always do.
