Prep Time 5 minutes

Cook Time 4 minutes

Additional Time 10 minutes

Total Time 19 minutes

Ingredients

4 corn cobs
1 cup water
1 teaspoon sea salt
4 tablespoons vegan butter (such as Miyoko's)
freshly cracked pepper, to taste

Instructions

Shuck the corn cobs so that they are clean of outer husks and silks. Cut in half crosswise.
Fill the Instant Pot liner with 1 cup water and salt and fit with a steam rack or trivet. Place corn cobs on top. Overlapping is okay. You can also stand them up on their cut ends to fit more in.
Lock the lid and set the valve to sealing. Set to pressure cook (high) for 3-4 minutes. It will take approximately 10 minutes for the pot to come to pressure before the cook time starts counting down.
When the cook time ends, immediately quick release the pressure. Carefully remove the lid, then remove the corn with tongs and set on a serving platter.
Serve warm with pats of butter and pepper.

Notes

If using frozen corn cobs, pressure cook for 5 minutes, then quick release.
You can double this Instant Pot corn on the cob recipe without changing the cook time or liquid.
Refrigerate leftover corn on the cob in shallow airtight containers for up to 3-5 days. Or, cut kernels off and freeze in a freezer bag for 10-12 months.
If you don't have a steam rack, increase the water to 1 1/2 cups and cook directly in the water.
