Using a pressure cooker is one of the easy ways to cook sweet summer corn. It is a hands-off approach using steam to cook ears of corn. It is also an easy way to make sweet corn while on the go.
Husk the sweet corn. Rinse off as much corn silk as you can with room temperature water.
Take out your electric pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot. This method was tested on a 6-quart Instant Pot. To the inner pot, add one cup of water. Place the trivet that came with your pressure cooker inside the inner pot. Or if you want to use a steamer basket, that will work too.
Place two cobs of sweet corn on the bottom of the trivet. If the cobs of corn are too large to fit, you may have to snap them in half. Use those muscles! Going in the crosswise direction, place two more cobs of corn. Cooking four cobs of corn at a time.
Add the sealing ring to the cover and place the cover on the Instant Pot. Set it to the sealing position. Cook on high pressure for two minutes. Once the Instant Pot beeps, do a quick release of the pressure by moving the pressure value to the venting position. Remove the cover and set aside.
With tongs, remove the corn and place it on a platter. Serve it immediately with lots of butter, salt, and ground pepper.
