If you have some frozen corn on hand go right ahead and reach for that. No need to thaw just toss your corn right in. 

When you work with frozen foods, no need to adjust the cooking time to more. It will just take your Instant Pot a little bit of time to reach pressure before it begins cooking.

  1. Hello, I tried a similar recipe like this but the milk kind of curdled which didn’t look very appetizing. Tasted good but… Your recipe has more liquid so maybe doesn’t curdle? Also is you cooking time of 5 minutes correct? The recipe I tried cooked for 1 minute. Just don’t want mushy corn! Thanks so much! I love your site!

    1. You can reduce the cook time down to 3 minutes if you prefer a crisper cooked corn. And yes the extra liquid should help prevent any curdling. I hope you love it. 🙂

  2. I just made this for the second time. Tomorrow I’ll make your corn chowder recipe for the first time — I’m saving some of the milky corn water for it.

    BUT. But, I kept thinking about how you said the milky corn water is good to sip on. I gave it a sip on its own, but I wasn’t tempted to drink it straight.

    Then I did a “what if I…?” And it might sound crazy, but I took a cup of the milky, buttery water, put a bag of chai tea in it, steeped it, added a little sugar, and it’s AMAZING. 😀 Hot buttered chai latte. Perfect dessert after salty sweet corn.
