Corn on the cob is easily one of my favorite veggies during the summer. 

But, turning on the stove and boiling water in the summer heat, with no A/C. I am going to take a hard pass at that. 

Enter, Instant Pot.

Brad devoured these which immediately tells me I have a winning recipe. Especially since it is a veggie! 

But, let’s be real. Is there a better combo than chili lime? No. The answer is no. 

I obviously want to pair these corn on the cobs with these mango mojito chicken foil packs all.summer.long.

Pressure cook. 

Pour melted chili lime butter on top. 

Eat.them.all

I make this as a dinner side, but, I have also been known to toss a few more into the pot, cut the corn off the cob and make a corn salad too! 

A few tips on Instant Pot corn cobs:

  • If I am stacking the pot right full, I will add 2 minutes to cook time. The cobs at the top are quite far from the bottom of the pot and the steam doesn’t reach them as well. I do find that the ones on the very top haven’t cooked as well as the ones right on the bottom.

 

  • Ultimately, cook time is influenced by how soft you like your corn. Start with 3 minutes and if you prefer it softer, check the corn and add another 2 minutes. 

 

  • I have made Instant Pot corn on the cob a ton of times now… and I find it is often the ripeness of the corn that determines how soft the kernels come out. I cook mine this same method every time, and sometimes, the corn is just not as tender.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 5 corn cobs, husks removed

Chili Lime Butter

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • 1/8 tsp paprika
  • 1/8 tsp chili powder

Instructions

  • In the base of the instant pot, add the water, lime juice, chili powder, and cumin. Stir to combine.
  • Add the corn cobs to the pot. I like to shake the liner (out of the pot), gently, to get the spices on all of the cobs.
  • Place the lid on your Instant Pot, set it to sealing and set on high pressure for 5 minutes.
  • Quick release the pressure when done. There is also no harm in letting in naturally depressurize.
  • Using tongs, remove cobs from Instant Pot and set aside.

Chili Lime Butter

  • Melt the butter in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted.
  • Stir in the lime juice, and spices.
  • Pour over corn cobs

Notes

Don't forget to cut the kernels off the leftover cobs and add them to salads!

  1. This sounds delicious! Unfortunately, I do not have a pressure cooker yet. How else would you recommend cooking if you don’t have a pressure cooker (eg air fryer, stove)? Thank you for your assistance!
