How to cook corn in husk

This recipe is so easy guys, there is no preparation required. I dont touch the corn with knife at all. All i do is remove any dry leaves if i see them.

I am using a trivet each time i make this recipe. It helps corn to stay away from the water and we end up with steamed corn instead of boiled. Thats how we like it.

Cooking time varies. I usually set my pressure cooker to 4 minutes on high pressure to make sure the corn is cooked all the way through. If you are using small ears, i would go with 3 minutes.

Tips and tricks for juicy corn

• Always try to get the freshest corn possible. Its not a problem if its summer and you have farmers markets nearby. In our area when in season they go for 25 cents each. Good deal!
• You can cook many ears of corn at the same time. 8 probably will be maximum for a 8 qt Instant Pot and 6 for a 6.5 qt Ninja Foodi. Stack them together and add a cup of water more for each group of three.
• Instead of water try to use milk (adds extra flavor). It will foam and leave a film on your corn but it doesn’t matter. The husk will collect all the white film.
