Juicy Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob

Effortless, Flavor-Packed Corn

Imagine biting into tender, buttery corn on the cob without standing over a hot stove. The crockpot makes it easy. It transforms fresh corn into a juicy, flavorful dish while saving time and effort. Perfect for weeknight dinners, backyard barbecues, or feeding a crowd, this slow cooker method delivers consistent results with minimal work.

Prep Your Corn

Start by husking and cleaning 6–8 fresh corn cobs, ensuring they fit snugly inside your crockpot. In a bowl, melt ½ cup of butter and stir in your favorite seasonings. Classic choices include garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. For a twist, try chili powder for heat or Italian herbs for a savory flavor.

Cook with Care

Drizzle the butter mixture over the corn. Add ½ cup of water or broth to keep it moist and help the flavors penetrate each kernel. Set the crockpot to high for 2–3 hours or low for 4–5 hours. Rotate the cobs halfway through cooking so the buttery seasoning coats them evenly.

Avoid lifting the lid frequently—trapped steam ensures tender, juicy corn.

Serve and Garnish

When done, carefully remove the corn with tongs and place it on a serving platter. Add a final drizzle of melted butter and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro, or sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

The result? Golden, juicy corn on the cob bursting with flavor—a simple, irresistible side dish everyone will love.
