While we love corn on the cob and try to get as much of it as possible while it’s in season, we hate boiling it (since it never seems to taste as good that way). What we didn’t know is that there’s another way to cook it that is easier and results in better flavor…in the slow cooker!
By placing the corn and water in the slow cooker, the corn steams deliciously without losing any of its sweet flavor. Then, you’re free to spruce it up with all the butter and salt and pepper you want and enjoy it to its fullest!
Ingredients
8-10 ears of corn
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
unsalted butter, to taste
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
fresh herbs or green onion, to taste
Preparation
Place corn in slow cooker and pour in 1/3 cup water.
Cook on HIGH for 2 1/2-3 hours, or until corn is bright yellow and tender.
Use tongs to remove corn and season with salt and pepper, and your choice of butter, lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
