Remove the Husks
Firmly grasp several layers of husk and pull. You can pull each layer one at a time. I typically remove all of the husk with two or three pulls. Pull the silks (threads) with the husk. Snap off the bottom stem and the husk will come with it.
Add the Rack
Place the rack (trivet) in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water for 4 ears of corn. Add an additional 1/4 cup of water for each additional 2 ears of corn.
Add the corn to the Instant Pot
Up to six ears of corn will fit in the six quart Instant Pot.
Cooking Time
Pressure cook 4 ears of corn on High Pressure for 2 minutes. Use the quick release method to release the pressure. Add an additional 1 minute for each 2 additional ears of corn. For example: Pressure cook 6 ears of corn for 3 minutes.
Enjoy!!
