Ingredients
  

  • 4 Cobs Corn I cut in half, remove husks and silk.
  • 1 Trivet
  • 1 Cup Water
  • Butter
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Remove the husks and silk from the corn. Cut off either side if it's buggy or bad. Remove excess cob edge if necessary.
  • Depending on the size of your Instant Pot (pressure cooker) you may cut the cobs in half or keep them one size. They should all be similar size.
  • Place Trivet in the Instant Pot, add the ears of corn, standing up, next to each other. Add the cup of water.
  • Carefully seal the lid of the Instant Pot, make sure the valve is closed (the knob in the back should be in the middle instead of the side) and set the timer for 5 minutes on manual (if yours has an option to put it on high, choose this/mine doesn't). Remember it will take a few minutes to reach pressure. Once it reaches pressure it will count down from 5 minutes.
  • Once it's hit 5 minutes, carefully use tongs or a spatula to move the valve over so you can quick release. This helps the pressure cooker lower pressure quickly. If anything but steams come out of this, flip it back (with the spatula) and allow the pressure to release slowly (should not happen with this recipe).
  • Once all steam has left, you can carefully remove the lid and your corn is ready! Carefully remove with tongs or remove the trivet with tongs/oven mitts and pour the corn into a casserole dish, slather with butter and serve with salt.
