To me, almost nothing says SUMMER like a pile of corn on the cob–hot, buttered, and ready to eat. When I was growing up, my dad grew corn in his massive garden and then often bought corn on the cob by the trunkful to freeze in addition to his own crop. I spent a lot of hours each summer shucking corn. I never, ever thought it was fun, but these days all my kids love to shuck corn – even at grandpa’s house!
I’m super excited to share that Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is awesome and doesn’t require a huge pot of water that you have to wait on forever to start boiling. Pair our pressure cooker corn on the cob with our pressure cooker mussels or our fabulous Instant Pot Pulled Pork for a summer meal on the deck.
