Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
4 ears corn, husked
1/2 cup butter
Salt to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Corn: Husk the ears of corn, removing all the outer leaves and silk, then rinse under cold water to clean.
Place Corn in Crockpot: Arrange the husked ears of corn evenly inside the crockpot to ensure even cooking.
Add Butter and Salt: Distribute 1/2 cup butter over the corn and sprinkle salt to taste for seasoning.
Cook on Low: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook the corn for 4 hours, allowing the butter to melt and infuse the corn with flavor while gently steaming it.
Serve Warm: Carefully remove the corn from the crockpot using tongs, and serve immediately while warm for the best taste and texture.
Notes
You can substitute salted butter with unsalted butter and add salt to taste if preferred.
Cooking time may vary slightly depending on crockpot model, ensure corn is tender before serving.
For extra flavor, try adding herbs like thyme or garlic powder along with the butter.
If you prefer crispier corn, reduce cooking time by 30 minutes.
Leftover corn can be refrigerated and reheated gently in a microwave or on stovetop.
