Crock-pot Corn on the Cob
Have you ever cooked corn on the cob in the crock-pot? Maybe you were wondering if you could even cook corn on the cob in the slow cooker. Well the answer is YES!!
Slow Cooker Days
If you are looking for a potluck idea for Memorial Day, 4th of July, Summer Parties, or Labor Day, this might be the perfect recipe for you.
This is one of the easiest slow cooker recipes ever, like making “baked” potatoes in the crock-pot. So easy!!
Cooking corn on the cob in the slow cooker doesn’t even require water! The water already present in the corn helps cook the corn and helps the corn stay moist. I love that you don’t have to hang over a boiling pot of hot water or that you aren’t threaten to be scorched over a barbeque grill. I let my husband do that! I also love that you can just fix it, and forget it. And the slow cooker is so forgiving, give or take a few hours, and you are still good to go.
I got a great helper in my Abbie-girl.
Here is the corn before buttering with butter or coconut oil. I have made it both ways.
Any Cougars out there? Gotta love the cougar blanket! We were enjoying the sun working outside.
Crock-Pot Corn on the Cob
Ingredients
- 6 corn on the cob or more or less. 6 fit nicely, broken in half in my 5.5 quart crock pot
- 4 T butter olive oil, or coconut oil (or more if needed)
- 1 T minced garlic
- 1 t Italian seasonings
- foil use is optional (I am not using the foil anymore, and it still works great)
Instructions
-
Shuck the corn. I rinsed mine to try to remove more of the silk strands.
-
Mix last three ingredients in a small bowl.
-
Place corn on foil, if using foil.
-
Drizzle each cob with a spoonful of the buttery mixture.
-
If using foil, finish wrapping corn in foil, and place in slow cooker.
-
Cover, and cook on low 4 hours or 2 hours on high (if you plan to keep the corn in the crock-pot longer on warm, make sure you rotate the corn occasionally to avoid burning).
-
Enjoy!
The Verdict: I admit that I am not a big corn on the cob fan. But put it together with some buttery goodness, Italian seasonings, and garlic, and what a combination! And it’s so easy!!

This might sound crazy, but there is no water in the crockpot?
Sonja says
That’s not a crazy question at all. There is no water in the crock-pot. That is correct. Thanks for visiting!

Be careful about aluminum touching your food. Aluminum toxicity is not something you want to deal with later in life. It might not bother you now, but long term can be serious.
Sonja says
We hardly use aluminum foil in our cooking, maybe a handful of times a year, we don’t drink soda, and we make our own deodorant, so we aren’t exposed to it much. Thank you for your concern. Some may want to consider this. Thank you for sharing, Kathy.

Hi Mrs. Baker, It really is so simple! Thanks for visiting!
Ella says
Are the ears of corn suppose to all lay flat or can you pile them on top of each other?
Sonja says
Hi Ella, You can pile them. Hope that helps, and thanks for visiting!

camille says
totally trying this. making a stew but i figured i would throw in some corn….. i wonder would it be bad to place the foiled corn on top of the meat??? prob not. we shall see what i try.
Sonja says
Hi Camille, Yes, I have double cooked in the crock-pot before! I have put veggies in foil to “steam” them in the last hour of cooking on top of the main meal. I have also added garlic bulbs wrapped in foil in the last couple of hours of cooking. Corn would work as well.
