Corn On The Cob Cooked In The Slow Cooker ~ Slides right out no need to shuck the corn before you cook it.

Two years ago I told you all how to  Shuck and Cook Corn Quickly in 3 easy steps, in this method you do not have to peel or shuck your corn and it is ready to eat in 3 minutes.  But this method does involve a microwave  and you can only cook one at a time.   That is what lead me to the idea to try the same method, but in the slow cooker or crock-pot.  Honestly I had no idea if it would even work. I searched pinterest  to see if there were any ideas or how to posts… NOPE. I could not find anything about cooking corn STILL in the husk in a slow cooker.Corn On The Cob slow cooker crock pot recipe , No need to shuck the corn you can cook it with the husk still on, Corn on the cob without husking the corn, summer bbq recipes

So I decided to try a little experiment, and see if I could shuck corn in a slow cooker.  I won’t leave you in suspense too long it turned out amazing and was super easy.  The corn was plump and juicy and evenly cooked, and slid right out of the husk with no silk left. Here is how I shucked corn in a slow cooker or crock pot.

Step one is to place the corn on a cutting board and use a sharp butchers knife to chop the bottom end off. You will want to cut the end off that does NOT have the silk on it which is the fat end. You will need a good sturdy knife to get thru the cob and the husk all at once. Watch your fingers and be careful.  Place the corn cob with the husks still on, inside a large slow cooker or crock pot.  I cooked 4 of them on high for 3 1/2 hours and they were perfectly cooked.   The crock pot could have fit several more inside. If I was to cook 6+ I would increase the cooking time to 4 hours on high.  If you wanted a low and slow option you could do low temp for 6-8 hours instead.

When you are ready to eat them, pick up the corn with a towel or dish cloth.  Watch out the corn will be HOT.  Hold the top of the corn (part with the silk or smaller pointy end) firmly with the towel and squeeze downward.  Give it a little shake, as you squeeze the corn will slide right out of the husk and all the silk will stay inside the husk.  You are left with a perfectly cooked cob of corn, ready to cover with butter and eat.

One of the ends of my corn was right up against the edge of the slow cooker. It did turn a little brown, this could have been avoided by wrapping the end with a little bit of foil. Not needed but an option if you want all your corn to  be perfectly golden.Corn On The Cob slow cooker crock pot recipe , No need to shuck the corn you can cook it with the husk still on, Corn on the cob without husking the corn, summer bbq recipes

    You can also wrap in a dampened paper towel and microwave for 4 minutes comes out delicious

  5. Julianna Zavala

    Wow. This is really neat I’m going to give this a try. I wasn’t really liking picking the silk of the corn with my fingers.

  7. Maria Iglesia Skelton

    I just started putting it in microwave for 5 min, husk must be moist and end cut off

  9. Barbara Petrey Bunch

    What if there is a worm? I seem to always find at least one when I shuck before boiling.

  11. David Rice

    Soak in water 20 minutes and cook on grill til the shucks dry out on outside. Then shuck

  13. Lana Royster

    What about worms in the other end?! That happens when you pick sweet corn…..

  16. Vicki Joyce Turner

    Another good way to cook corn….shuck, place in cooler and pour boiling water to cover……close lid….twenty minutes corn is perfect. Good thing about this way, you can cook many ears at a time.

  25. Christy Bishop

  26. Nancy London Gilbert

    I would put a little water in. Just sayin’ U0001f601U0001f601U0001f601

  27. Nancy London Gilbert

    I never make that much. Love using microwave bit don’t like microwaved food if that makes any sense.

  33. Cathy Marchetty Skay Blackmon

    Thanks for posting, we did it for our dinner tonight and it was awesome!!

    But without liquid… I think it’s awesome, I would have put some liquid because that’s what I always do. Would have been concerned about corn drying out.
    Really love your experimentation and am looking forward to trying it.
    I also have an electric pressure cooker…wonder how that would work?

  35. A Thrifty Mom

    I did the microwave version (link in blog post) and I thought a slowcooker would be nice since I dont like to use a microwave that much.. but i love my slow cooker..

  36. Kat Gray

    Very interesting!!What made you think to put them into a slow cooker without liquid to cook?

    Good idea for our Fresh Market corn.

  43. Julie Rodriguez-Ramos

    You need a Tupperware smart steamer only 12mins and you have yummy corn

  45. Laurie Wehner

    Always someone in the crowd that’s not happy. Just leave if you aren’t interested

  51. Antoinette Rondon

    Does it overcook the corn because it’s in 4 hours? Hi from Charlotte BTW!

  66. Deb Swearengin DeLucia

    I understand that about the crock pot method. I’m just talking about the basic boil method. Most people will let it cook way too long after the second boil.

  67. Jennifer Malone Turney

    4 hours seems like an awful long time just to save a couple minutes Husking

  80. A Thrifty Mom

    Deb Swearengin DeLucia no water with this method.. the corn doesnt get watered down and the water turn yellow cause the nutrients and flavor wash out of it..

  81. A Thrifty Mom

    Brenda Bisbee Kardohely I did mine for 4 hrs.. it was so nice to just shove them in and forget about it..

  92. Sandy Gonzales-Silva

    Hello from North Fontana, CA! Cool! I’m going to try it for the Fourth of July!

  98. Juanita Daniel-Gilyard

    It is not rocket science. 4 hours on high. Butter when you remove it.

  103. Juanita Daniel-Gilyard

    It looks like it will be delicious! Thank you sharing! Happy 4th of July!

    Do it early and don’t have to worry about that part of dinner the rest of the day!!

  113. Elizabeth Saxton Fletcher

    I don’t think I want to wait 4 hours for my corn to cook.

  115. Patrick Gordon

  135. Waynette Lamb Payne

    I’ll be trying this neat trick this weekend!! Thanks U0001f60d

  136. Waynette Lamb Payne

    My concern is, what if there is a silkworm in one of them?? Lol

  137. Deb Swearengin DeLucia

    My experience is bring water to a boil. Add corn and it is done when water returns to a boil.

  140. Chris Carnavale

    No water. No seasoning. Is corn tender? Not tough from 4 hours on high?

  142. Erika Horton

    Awesome thanks bc my boys r obsessed with corn on the cob so i have to cook it ALL the time so this will b a great easy way to do it

  146. Donna Lau-Apiag

    We got it from the HSN on TV an 8 quart it work wonders, never had one or how to use one till now , it is very easy to cook with

  152. Cierra Fuentes

    So they’re not previously buttered? Couldn’t you cook them with butter

  155. Kari Gonzales-Quintana

    We grew up slathering mayo on corn on the cob. It’s delicious!! Also, I found a recipe of the “Elote” they sell around here from street carts or fairs. I will post it..soooo good!

  163. Jeanne Martz

    Yes it does! Lol. But thank you for this wonderful tip. I love my crockpot and this is what I will be cooking tomorrow.

  174. A Thrifty Mom

    yes that works too.. I just prefer to not microwave my food if I can help it

  179. Traci Giesy

    Lol ok…maybe i will do that…to just see how long…i like it still crunchy. Hahaha

  216. Michele Torres Konnecker

    Hello from New Orleans, LA! Looking forward to trying this on Monday

  220. Debbie Rodriquez Krajkiewicz

    I just got home I will be trying this tomorrow thanks..☺

  225. Laura Swaffer West

    So does this fully cook the corn? Is it ready to eat? This would be awesome for when you’re freezing corn. Except I’d need a bigger crockpot!

  229. Donna Lau-Apiag

    I just did my corn in my pressure cooker for 5 mim, and wala all done!!

  239. Sue Baker

    OR ……Microwave for 3 to 5 minutes: For just 1 or 2 ears of corn, microwave for 3 minutes. For 3 or 4 ears, microwave for 4 minutes. If you like softer corn or if your ears are particularly large, microwave for an additional minute.

  254. Katie Smith Mathis

    I’m going to try it. Just got 20 ears from walmart for 20 cents each thanks bunches

  259. A Thrifty Mom
