Corn on the cob cannot be simpler than cooking it in a 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 Pressure Cooker and in a few minutes, you have nice and hot Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob.

If you want an even better and fantastic way to make corn on the cob, check out my Mexican Corn on the Cob Street Food (Elote) recipe that cooks quickly on a Charcoal Grill, or my Elote, Mexican Corn on the Cob (Oven Version) that cooks easily under the broiler in your oven.

You will never go back to plain corn on the cob again!

For the “Fancy” method, the above ingredients are needed.   If you want the butter to cook into your Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob, cook the corn in the Pressure Cooker cooking pot, otherwise, place your corn on the trivet.  Instructions follow the Fancy method.

You can use fresh or frozen corn or corn with the husk still on, whichever you prefer, just remember, that frozen corn is already cooked, so you just need to set your Pressure Cooker for a “1” minute cook time.
If you want to seriously kick up plain corn on the cob a ton of notches, try this Elote – Mexican Corn on the Cob recipe and be prepared to fall in love.

Place some water in the bottom and insert a trivet and place the corn on top.  That’s it folks.  If you are using corn with the husk still on, cook it for 3 minutes.

  1. Hi,
    I used my new Go Wise 6qt EPC to cook 3 small ears of corn tonight following the instructions above (and on many other sites). I put 1 1/2 C of water in the cooker, placed the rack in the bottom, placed the 3 small ears (not big because co-worker grew them in his garden) on the rack. I closed the cooker, made sure pressure valve was on “Steam,” plugged it in, pressed the “Steam” function button and reduced time to 2 minutes. I felt it was taking too long, but wasn’t sure. Eventually, I got an “E3” code. The unit had over-heated. Unplugged and carefully opened the lid. The corn was edible — barely. Kind of mushy. But the pot had boiled (?) dry and was all scorched. Hoping I didn’t ruin it. I’ve only cooked 4 things in it since I just got it last week! What did I do wrong?? So disappointed.

    • Hi Deanna~

      1-1/2 cups of water should not have left you with no water in the pot. I would call the company and ask about that, so they can guide you on why you got an E3 error code. I sure am sorry that happened.

  2. Hello
    I used my 8 qt. Power Pressure XL
    today for corn on the cob. I did Jill’s recipe with the butter, water, sugar, milk and salt. I cooked 8 cobs with the same amount of ingredients and it turned out so good! Everyone loved it!

  4. Hi Jill, wondering if this would work for blanching corn to freeze for later use? I think the time should be reduced but not sure. Your thoughts?

  7. I’m confused on the directions. The ingredients for inside the pot call for 1/2 cup each of water and milk but then later when you say to add everything, you don’t mention milk. If you don’t do the milk, that’s only 1/2 c. total liquid which doesn’t sound like enough but if you add the milk, I thought you weren’t supposed to add milk or it would curdle. Thanks

  9. Jill, I made the “in pot for butter flavor” version tonight for dinner. I was out of milk so I subbed low fat half & half. The corn was a big hit. So tender and sweet! Thank you for sharing all your great recipes. I make your yogurt weekly. THE BEST!!!

  10. I’m new to the pressure cooker and the milk curdled in the bottom. I’m positive it’s user error what did I do wrong? In the end we just rinsed it off the flavor was still there and really good. I loved how easy this was. Thanks

    • Hi Nicole~

      I am not sure what happened. I have heard this happening every once in a while and I have no idea why. I am so sorry. Please try again and let me know. 🙁
