Tips for perfect pressure cooker corn

  • When buying corn, look for husks that are bright green in color with kernels that are plump and brightly colored. The silk should be soft and moist, not brown. Never buy corn that is brown or looks dried out.

  • Remove the ends of the corn so you can fit more ears in your Instant Pot. 

  • If they are too long, you can cut them in half so they fit inside more easily.

  • You can place fresh green beans or another vegetable underneath the rack and cook them at the same time.

  • Using a trivet will allow you to put more ears of corn in your Instant Pot than if you use a steamer basket.

Frequently asked questions

How long do you steam corn in an Instant Pot?

To make pressure cooker corn, you will need a total of 25 minutes. That includes the cooking time and the release time.

The corn cooks for 2 minutes on HIGH. If you are cooking your corn on the cob with the husks on, you will need to add 1 more minute to the cooking time.

How many ears of corn fit into a 6-quart pressure cooker?

A lot will depend on the size of the ears of corn. But, you should be able to easily fit 5 to 6 ears of corn. You can cut off the ends if you need to.

If you want to fit more than that, you can try standing the ears on their end rather than layering them. Or, an 8 quart Instant Pot will allow you to cook even more.

Do I need to wrap the corn in foil?

No, you don't need to wrap the ears of corn in foil when you use the Instant Pot. Foil is used on the grill to prevent the corn from getting too dark.

But, you don't need it when you make pressure cooker corn. The corn comes out perfectly every time.

Can I cook frozen corn in the Instant Pot?

Fresh corn on the cob is so much better than frozen. But, you can cook frozen corn using this method as well. Just follow the same method.

Place the frozen corn cobs on the trivet. And, cook for 4 minutes on HIGH. Let the pressure release naturally for 5 minutes. Then, follow up with a quick release.
