Sam's Place: corn on the cob

It is certainly corn on the cob season. We just love local fresh corn on the cob. This Instant Pot Corn on the Cob is just so easy to make.

There is no need to boil a huge pot of water and wait. Then boil it for 7 to 10 minutes. This Instant pot method is really easy. But you'll need an Instant Pot to do it.

We will never boil water again to make our corn on the cob. This is so tasty, your whole family is going to love it.

Instant Pot Corn on the Cob:

This is all you have to do if you have an Instant Pot:

Remove the husks and silk. from the corn
Place your vegetable steamer tray in the bottom of the pot.
Add 2 cups of water
Add 2 tablespoons of butter.
Place as much corn in as you can fit in the pot.
Set the pot to 3 minutes and press the steam button.
Release the Steam when the cycle is complete, and that's it.

Enjoy your hot buttery corn on the cob.

We live in a small village in Western New York, and every year the village shuts down for its Independence Day Celebration. The main street is lined with food and craft vendors, the tennis court is turned into a fun zone for the kids with bouncy houses and slides, and in the gazebo, a live band plays all day.

In the morning, there is a 5K walk/run for those in shape, and later in the day, a parade for the kids. Of course, the evening finishes off with a fantastic fireworks display.

Since we live only two blocks from the park in the village, our house is a hub of activity on the 4th of July. This year, we kept it simple with hot dogs, hamburgers, fruit, desserts, and one more thing, corn on the cob cooked on a campfire.

It sure was a fun day, and this was the first time I ever cooked corn over a campfire, so I thought I would explain how I mastered it.

How to cook corn on a campfire:

First, I soaked the corn with the husks on for 5 hours in my large stock pot. Two hours before we wanted to eat, I started a fire in my Firepit. I needed to let it burn down so there were almost no flames, just hot wood.

My fire pit came with a grill top, so this made it easy for me. I set the ears of corn on the grill top and turned them every 10 minutes for 30 minutes. I used my Grilling Gloves to turn the corn. Then I peeled the husks off some hot, juicy, delicious corn.

This method will also work very well on a gas or charcoal grill. I think the key is to keep turning them every 10 minutes.
