Recipe: Slow Cooker Corn on the Cob

slow cooker. I have 2 models. My favorite is an oval-shaped 6.5 qt. programmable Crock Pot.

Aluminum foil for wrapping individual ears of corn. Pre-cut aluminum foil sheets are convenient and can be found at many grocery stores, in big boxes at Costco and Sams, and on Amazon.

Ears of corn, husked and silk removed; how many you cook depends on the size of your slow cooker. I can fit 8 to 10 ears in my crock pot. The ears can be cut in half to make them fit better or for smaller portions.

Olive oil

Salt (I use sea salt)

Pepper, freshly ground preferred

Seasonings for added flavors (explained in detail below): fresh herbs, chili powder, ground cumin, lime juice, Sriracha, pesto, curry powder, coconut milk

Holders for cobs of corn. These make it much tidier to eat corn on the cob. They also keep your fingers from burning from the spiciness of Sriracha corn ears and prevent yellow fingers from the Curry corn ears.
