Mexican Street Corn

This is my favorite summer recipe for eating corn on the cob.  Instead of buttering the corn, a mixtures of sour cream, mayonnaise, and seasonings, with some lime juice is spread over the corn.  If you wish you can roll the corn in some Cotija cheese crumbles.  I recommend doing this.  It takes the flavor to a whole new level.

Instant Pot Corn On The Cob

Sweet Corn trucks are popping up everywhere here.  This makes me smile.  I love eating corn on the cob.  There are many ways to prepare it.  I found a quick and tasty method using my Instant Pot.  I am truly amazed at what you can do with an Instant Pot.
It is very easy.   You add about 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot liner, place a trivet in to hold the corn.  Put in your clean ears of corn, lock the lid, be sure to seal the vent and cook on high pressure for about 2 minutes.  Do a quick release and your corn is ready to enjoy.  I told you it was simple.

Crock Pot Corn On The Cob

I have discovered a wonderful way to cook corn on the cob.  In the crock pot. The corn comes out moist and tasty.  The family enjoyed the taste and texture of the corn.    I am constantly amazed  at what you can cook in this wonderful device.

This is a very easy recipe to make.  You place the ear o corn on a piece of foil and put a pat of butter on top.  Wrap the corn tightly in the foil and place in the crock pot. Once you have wrapped all the corn in foil place them in a crock pot.  Turn the crock pot on low and cook for 4 hours.  The corn is ready to serve.

Serve the corn with butter, salt, and pepper, if you wish.
