Step-by-Step Instructions

Tips and Tricks
Here are a few additional tips and tricks to ensure your corn on the cob turns out perfectly:
- If your pressure cooker has a steaming basket, you can use that instead of putting the corn directly in the water.
- If you want to add flavor to your corn, consider using different spices or herbs instead of just salt and butter. For example, you could try adding garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- If you're cooking a lot of corn at once, you may need to adjust the cooking time slightly. As a general rule, add an extra minute of cooking time for every extra cob of corn you add to the pressure cooker.
- If you're in a hurry, you can use the quick release method to release the pressure. However, be very careful when doing this, as the steam can be very hot and can cause burns.
