Corn on the Cob: the easy way!
How to cook Corn on the Cob in your slow cooker!
One of the foods I miss during the cooler months is corn on the cob, straight off the grill. Nothing screams summertime more than those bright yellow kernels.
Well, as I sit here, wearing gloves while I type (I’m not joking), counting down the days until I can once again be grilling in the sun, I thought I would share my easy solution for cooking corn on the cob indoors. The crockpot!
Not only is Crockpot Corn on the Cob a great way to cook corn in the cooler months (when your grill is covered in snow), but it’s also perfect for those uber hot days when you don’t want to heat up the house with the stove or sweat over the grill. Win-win baby!
NOTE: I have a 6 qt. oval crockpot and am able to fit 8 ears of corn. If you are using a small crockpot, your times might vary.
Crockpot Corn on the Cob
- 6-8 ears of corn, husked
- 4 TBSP butter, margarine or coconut oil
- seasoning to taste
- Place corn on foil. Place about 1/2 tablespoon of butter on corn cob.
- Sprinkle with salt or use one of your favorite seasonings. Here are a couple I love to use with making our Crockpot Corn on the Cob.
- Once seasoned to your liking, finish wrapping corn in foil and place in the crockpot. Continue the same steps with the rest of your corn.
- Cook on LOW 4 – 5 hours or on HIGH 2- 2.5 hours

Brilliant! This looks so good! I can’t wait until corn comes in to season here 😀
Cheryl says
I like to wrap the food in parchment first to keep the foil away from the food.
Lisa says
@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.
Lacey says
Is there no need to add water to the pot?
Gail says
Does the corn come out soggy after being in crockpot for so many hours
Laura says
Can you cook corn on the cob in a slow cooker without butter or without oil?
Corey says
Yes, you can leave those out.
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,.
Corey says
I love all things crockpot!
