Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6-8 ears corn husked
  • ½ stick butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • cups water

Instructions
 

  • Husk the ears of corn and trim the ends of each.
  • Holding the ½ stick of room temperature butter, rub it on the ears of corn.
  • Season them with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the ⅔ cups of water into the Crock Pot and place all of the ears of corn in.
  • Cover and cook the corn on high for 3 hours until they are tender and bright yellow.

Notes

  • Room temperature butter is much easier to use to spread on the corn.
  • Don't add any extra water. The 2/3 cup measurement may seem little, but it helps the corn just steam instead of being submerged in water.
  • Keep the lid on the whole time for the best results.
  • Use tongs to remove the corn from the crock since the corn will be super hot.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
