4-8 ears of fresh corn on the cob
Pour 1 cup of water into the bottom of the pot, put the trivet in the pot. Place your cleaned fresh corn on the cob in the pot.You can lay it down, stand it up, or if you have large ears of corn you can break them in half before placing them in the pot.
1 cup water
Put the lid on the pot and lock the pressure valve to "seal".Set the pot to cook on high pressure for 2 minutes. (cook time will be the same whether you have 4 ears or 8 ears of corn in the Instant Pot)
Do a quick release of pressure.
Remove the corn from the Instant Pot and serve with butter and salt.If you have a lot of corn to butter and salt, drain the water out of the Instant Pot. Add a couple tablespoons of butter and pinches of kosher salt to the pot. Put the lid on and shake the corn in the Instant Pot. It will get a nice coating of butter!
