Ingredients:
8 ears corn
1 cup water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
Salt, as needed
Directions:
Preparing the corn for the Instant Pot. Remove the corns husks and silks. Cut or break each ear in half. Place a heatproof trivet or small wire rack in a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot. Add the corn, standing them up side-by-side on the trivet.
Add 1 cup of water and cook for 5 minutes under HIGH pressure. Add the water. Close the pressure cooker, make sure the valve is sealed, and set to 5 minutes of HIGH manual pressure.
Quick release the pressure. When the 5 minutes is up, quick release the pressure. Using tongs, transfer the corn to a serving platter. Pour out any remaining water in the cooker.
Use the warm insert to melt the butter. Return the insert to the pressure cooker. Add the butter and use the residual heat to melt the butter.
Pour the butter over the steamed corn and serve immediately. Pour the melted butter over the corn and serve immediately with salt.
