Crockpot Corn On The Cob Recipe
Making corn on the cob in the crockpot slow cooker is a fantastic way to cook a WHOLE bunch while not needing to keep an eye on the stove to barbecue.
This is a great technique for cooking for a pot luck, or church event. Enjoy!!

Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Here are my recommended crockpot slow cookers.
PS: If you don't want to use Aluminum Foil, you don't have to.
You can even leave the corn in the husks if you'd like (but I think those little stringy things are weird ...)
Anyway, if you're not into the foil you can simply plop the washed and clean corn in the pot. If you are fancy you can add a bit of butter and herbs and some Parmesan cheese -- or you can just let them steam in their own juice.
There is truly no need to add water if you have a good sealing crockpot.

Remember how good and how easy the crockpot baked potatoes were? CrockPot corn on the cob is just as easy, and doesn't take as long to cook.
The corn steams in it's own juices and is cooked to absolute perfection.

I like my corn to have a crunch--two hours was perfect for us, but check and taste for your family's preference.
