Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob: Tender, Juicy Corn Every Time

WW Recipe of the Day: Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob

Make perfect corn on the cob without boiling water or firing up the grill—use your slow cooker for an easy, hands-off method.

The ears steam in their own juices for moist, tender, flavorful corn every time.

Shuck and clean the corn, wrap each ear in foil, place them in the slow cooker, and cook on HIGH for 2 to 3 hours. No water needed.

How easy is that?

Recipe Notes

You can season the corn before wrapping it in foil or add spices after cooking—either works. For a simple finish, sprinkle with salt and pepper.

For bolder flavors try chili powder and lime, curry powder, garlic pepper, pesto, grated Parmesan, or Cajun seasoning. Or let everyone season their own ear at the table.

This method yields corn so moist and sweet you may not even need butter.
