I’m trying to build a bit of a “database” of recipes for beginners and this Instant Pot Corn on the Cob with video had to be part of it.

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob recipe for beginners by Feisty Tapas

Corn on the cob smothered in butter, sprinkled with salt and pepper… doesn’t it feel like a huge treat?

Timings for Instant Pot Corn on the Cob (oh and watch the video!)

My magic time for Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is 5 minutes.

You might prefer more or less time.

We all have different tastes.

Follow this method and, if it’s overcooked for your taste, put the lid back on and take note to cook longer next time.

If you like it crunchier, make a note to cook it less time next time.

Parcook and then pop on to the BBQ

Oh yes you can do this, char it on the BBQ.

Am I the only one to eat corn on the cob as a snack?

Notes

*Terminology

Quick pressure release (QPR, also called quick release or QR) means venting the steam as soon as the pressure cooking process finishes, i.e. moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.

Natural pressure release (NPR, also called natural release or NR) means letting the float valve pop back down of its own accord, so basically you don’t need to do anything at the end and can keep your feet up. If it takes over 15 minutes, you’re ok to release the rest of the steam (by turning the steam release handle to Venting) that may be left in order to unlock and open the lid.

Sometimes you’ll see me talk of a combination of NPR followed by a QPR. For example a recipe may have a 4 minute NPR followed by a QPR. You wait for 4 minutes at the end of the pressure cooking time and then do a QPR by moving the steam release handle from Sealing to Venting.
