Once your pressure cooker comes up to pressure, it only takes minutes for the corn to cook.
Corn on the Cob in a Pressure Cooker
Using a pressure cooker to cook your corn on the cob is so easy…
- dump in your water
- add your trivet or aluminum foil balls
- place in your shucked corn on the cob
- secure lid and make sure valve is close
- set time for 3 minutes
- quick release after cooking has finished

I love that the corn on the cob is steamed, not boiled in a pot of water.
Corn on the Cob Compound Butter
Now I’m a huge fan of just butter and salt and pepper on my corn, but this compound butter is also a delicious option.

Compound Butter Ingredients
- softened butter
- minced garlic
- paprika
- parsley
This compound butter is super easy to assemble, but you will need at least 1 hour in the freezer to let it firm up.

I find using a hand mixer to cream it all together is the easiest way. Then you just need to place it in wax paper or parchment paper, creating a log and freeze until you’re ready to serve.

Doesn’t that look amazing!
