Instant pot frozen mini corn on the cob prepared with milk, butter and sugar using frozen mini sweet corn ears (here I used 6 frozen mini corn ears) is so easy to make and very delicious. We just dump all ingredients to the instant pot and once its done, you get cooked corn on the cob which has the perfect texture, buttery, soft, sweet and delicious.
Though I used frozen mini corns in this recipe, you may also use fresh mini corns for the same recipe (the instant pot will come to pressure faster with fresh corn ears).
If you are using large sized corns ears instead of mini corn ears, you may use about 4 corn ears (instead of 6 mini corn ears) since we need to layer the corn ears in a single layer in the instant pot for best results.
