It’s the end of the season for local corn here in Michigan and I have been wanting to try this recipe in one of my slow cookers. I cooked baked potatoes in the slow cooker and they turned out great so why not corn. Occasionally I will boil it but a preferred method is on the grill – that way it does not tie up my stove top or heat up the kitchen. Now, I have another method using a slow cooker and I like the results just as much as the grill.
So, when you are entertaining a crowd get out your slow cooker to help get your meal on the table. I have six slow cookers in different sizes so I am always ready to cook just about anything.
Corn on the Cob in the Slow Cooker
- fresh corn on the cob, you can break the corn cobs in half
- seasoned butter of your choice (I like pesto butter) or use unsalted butter and add your own spices or just use unsalted butter
Place each ear of corn on a sheet of aluminum foil. Spread the butter over the corn and roll up.
Cook on high for 2 hours. After 1 hour I turned the corn (5 ears) over, moved them around and cooked for another hour. Perfect…

Butter and sweet corn. I can almost whiff the amazing aroma 🙂
The pesto butter smelled and tasted wonderful on the corn Ana 🙂
What a grand idea Judi, I’ll bet they turned out just perfect with a bit of crunch to it? Love some of the unusual ways you present your dishes. Will definitely have to give this a try.
These are little tidbits for the family mainly and hopefully others will use the idea too. We use to do so much entertaining and big crowds too – I could have used some extra equipment 🙂 We do like our corn “crunchy” – just cook it to your taste, taking into consideration how many ears you have, the type of slow cooker.
Love the idea, Judy. Slow cooked foods have such a deeper taste to them, I feel….I hope I am making sense here:)
Mmmm pesto butter sounds delicious with it too.
With the pesto butter on the corn it just soaked up all that goodness in 2 hours of cooking Sandhya. I use to get your posts on a regular basis – I will have to see what happened!
I am going to try it, Judy. I know what you mean about missing posts. It happens to me too. I hope you find mine. i would miss you:(
I need to work on utilizing my slow cooker more for side dishes- I have to broaden my horizons if delicious things like this are waiting for me! If you’re interested, I’d love for you to share a post at my link up today. There’s more information on my main page under ‘Tell em Tuesdays’. It’s a great group of bloggers!

I love Michigan corn!
Aunt JuJu like comes through on my email! Cheryl
this sounds really delicious! Our corn is pretty much gone, but still need to try this!
Ours is too !
I love this idea Judi! It would be a great way to cook up a bunch for other recipes. Sadly our produce is coming to an end too.
Most definitely to use in a salad or as an off-the-cob veggie !
