🌽 What Makes This Recipe So Good

I love corn on the cob. Air fryer corn, boiled corn, Instant Pot corn – you name it, I’ll eat it. It just screams summer to me, and it’s a must anytime we grill out or have a barbecue. It’s ridiculously versatile and works with a number of different flavors and toppings, plus you can serve it with anything. Burgers, chicken, shrimp, hot dogs, ribs, pulled pork, salads, baked beans, coleslaw… You get the idea. Instant Pot corn on the cob is so unbelievably fast and easy. The corn pressure cooks for literally 60 seconds, and the honey butter glaze only takes a couple of minutes to whip up. It only takes 5, maybe 10, minutes to throw together a rich, buttery, sweet summer side dish that absolutely everyone will love. This is a great way to use up any fresh corn you’ve grown yourself or picked up at the farmers’ market or grocery store. If you don’t have easy access to fresh corn, though, you can absolutely use packaged frozen corn on the cob. Just defrost it in the fridge overnight first!

👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips

One of my favorite ways to switch this up without any real effort is to use hot honey instead of regular honey. The hot honey adds an incredible kick to the honey butter glaze that any spice-lover will definitely appreciate. You can dust your corn with a little cayenne, too, to really put it over the top. The 1-minute pressure cook time gives you corn that’s plump, juicy, and perfectly tender-crisp. If you prefer softer corn, set the Instant Pot cook time to 2 minutes instead of 1. Be careful not to overcook it or the corn will end up mushy instead of just softened. Corn is sweetest right after it’s picked. As soon as it is, though, its sweetness starts to fade. If you’re using exceptionally fresh corn, you may consider using a little less honey in the butter to account for the natural sweetness from the corn.
