How to Make Corn on the Cob in a Slow Cooker

Updated with a video from Mikey!

I just love this recipe for making corn on the cob in my crockpot or slow cooker.

I was so excited to head back to my friend Leah’s farm to literally pick my own corn this year! (Confession– okay I have been back twice!) I had the fun opportunity to actually pick the same corn we saw planted earlier in the seasona few weeks ago. And then this last time we headed toLeah’s farm with Indiana’s Family of Farmers to have the treat of learning Miss Leah’s No-Cook Method of Freezing Corn and taking home tons of corn for the freezer.

Fun Farm Fact

Did you know that most of the corn you see in the fields of Indiana are NOT sweet corn? Actually only about 1% of the corn grown in the U.S. is sweet corn. The rest is mainly field corn (for animal feed, ethanol, etc.). So don’t go hopping out of your car and picking an ear or two in some random field… you might not get what think you’re getting…

On the Cob or Off?

So now that my freezer is full for the winter, I had to get down to the business of fixing up a batch of Crock Pot Corn on the Cob in my slow cooker. I just LOVE corn on the cob, don’t you? Well– actually, I love eating fresh corn cut off the cob but that is a debate I know a lot of others feel strongly about 😉 On or off the cob– that is the question.

Psst… my fellow off-cobbers should check out this cool little gizmo that makes cutting it off the cob a zip! Also for you on-the-cobbers, this Corn Zipper does make it super easy to cut the corn off the cob for salads or freezing corn. I used one at Leah’s to help with the task of cutting corn off hundreds of ears.

Crock Pot Corn on the Cob

Regardless of your preference– I think you are going to love this recipe. Unlike a lot of other slow cooker corn on the cob recipes, this one does not require you to wrap your corn individually in foil. Instead, it is a super-time saver. You just dump your cobs in with a little water to steam them for a couple hours and then drain and toss in the delicious herb butter…. Mmmm….mmm!
