This is the easiest way to make the perfect corn on the cob every time! Our must-try method is perfect for cookouts!
Unlike a lot of other slow cooker corn on the cob recipes, this one does not require you to wrap your corn individually in foil.

How to Make Corn on the Cob in a Slow Cooker
On the Cob or Off?
I just LOVE corn on the cob, don’t you? Well– actually, I love eating fresh corn cut off the cob but that is a debate I know a lot of others feel strongly about ๐ On or off the cob– that is the question.
Psst… my fellow off-cobbers should check out this cool little gizmo that makes cutting it off the cob a zip! Also for you on-the-cobbers, this Corn Zipper does make it super easy to cut the corn off the cob for salads or freezing corn.
Regardless of your preference– I think you are going to love this recipe.
But, if you find yourself with extra fresh corn and you want to freeze some for winter, check out our How to Freeze Corn recipe.

- We love our Corn Zipper to make getting corn off the cob so easy.
- We used a 6 quart slow cooker to cook up our corn. You can use a bigger or smaller crock pot depending on how many ears you want to cook.
