  1. Brilliant! This looks so good! I can’t wait until corn comes in to season here 😀

  2. I like to wrap the food in parchment first to keep the foil away from the food.

    1. @Cheryl, please enlighten me as to why you don’t want foil touching your food? Does it give it a metalic taste? Is there a health reason, like why some don’t want to cook with Aluminum pans? I know that plastic wrap and microwaves shouldn’t be combined but I hadn’t heard about foil yet….although I’ve not be keeping up with this stuff, honestly.

  3. Is there no need to add water to the pot?

  4. Does the corn come out soggy after being in crockpot for so many hours

  5. Can you cook corn on the cob in a slow cooker without butter or without oil?

    1. Yes, you can leave those out.

  6. DONNA SEGRAVES says:

    Tasted great and the corn was tender. Using the crockpot is a lifesaver in that you just turn on the pot and away you go,.

    1. I love all things crockpot!

  7. Can I cook this the day before and warm/nuke it the next day?

    1. Yes, you can. I hope you love the corn!
