    🔪 How To Make Crockpot Corn On The Cob

    As with most Crockpot recipes, this corn on the cob is essentially effortless to make! All you need is your favorite slow cooker, a basting brush, tongs, and some aluminum foil if desired.

    1. Prepare. Shuck 4-8 ears of corn, then brush with them 1-2 tablespoons (14 milliliters) of olive oil, coating all sides of the corn. *You can season the corn on the cob and wrap them with aluminum foil if desired.
    2. Pour. Pour ½ cup (118 milliliters) of water into the slow cooker's bottom. Add the EVOO-coated corn (in aluminum foil or not), then cover and set on high heat.
    3. Cook. Cook for 2-3 hours on high or until the corn is bright yellow in color and has reached your desired level of tenderness.
    4. Serve. Remove the corn and coat with butter (if desired), then season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve immediately or leave in the crockpot on the warm setting until ready to butter, season, and serve.

    💭 Angela's Tips & Recipe Notes

    • I used a standard 6-quart slow cooker for making my corn. However, you can use a larger or smaller crockpot, depending on how much corn you need to cook. 
    • You can adjust the flavors of your corn by trying out a variety of different seasonings! Add a dash of cayenne pepper, smoked paprika, Cajun seasoning, or garlic powder.
    • There's no need to worry about overcrowding your crockpot. Go ahead and add as much corn as you can fit! Just make sure the lid of the slow cooker still closes properly. 

    🥡 Storing & Reheating

    Leftover corn on the cob can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    Reheating Corn On The Cob

    You can reheat corn on the cob in the microwave for 1-2 minutes or in a steamer on the stovetop.

    ❓ FAQ

    Can I Cook Frozen Corn In The Crockpot?

    Sure! This recipe can be used for either fresh or frozen corn, and is perfect for when corn is not in season! Keep in mind that frozen corn on the cob may take a little longer to cook.

    How Long Does It Take To Cook Corn On The Cob In A Slow Cooker?

    On high heat, it will about 2-3 hours to cook your corn. Alternatively, you can use low heat for 4-6 hours.

    Do I Need To Rotate The Corn While It Is Cooking?

    Nope! This is a completely hands-off recipe. Once the corn is in the crockpot, just close the lid and let it do all of the work! There is no need to turn the corn during cooking.
