Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob

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!

Cast of Ingredients for Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob

For the “Fancy” method, the above ingredients are needed.

Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob

Pressure Cooker Corn on the Cob can be cooked on the trivet or right inside your Pressure Cooker cooking pot.

Add Water and a Trivet

You can use fresh or frozen corn or corn with the husk still on, whichever you prefer.

Remember, that frozen corn is already cooked, so your Pressure Cooker is just heating it up and infusing flavor.

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 2-3 minutes.

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