    Ingredients for slow cooker corn on the cob.
    • Corn on the Cob - 4 -6 ears of corn on the cob (husks and silks removed). You could also use smaller cobettes of corn, but you will need to reduce the cooking time accordingly.
    • Olive Oil - a light mild olive oil for brushing on the corn.
    • Salt and Pepper - for seasoning.
    • Water - 300ml of water is poured into the bottom of the slow cooker basin to create steam and to stop the corn from burning.

    🥡 Storage

    Store - The crock pot corn is best eaten fresh but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

    Reheat - In a hot oven or air fryer.

    Freeze - The corn isn't suitable for freezing once slow-cooked, but uncooked corn ears can be blanched and frozen for future use.

    ❓ Frequently asked questions

    Do I have to wrap the corn in foil before slow cooking?

    You can wrap the corn in foil but it is not necessary when slow cooking it. The slow cooker basin creates the steam and heat necessary to cook the corn.
