While corn on the cob couldn’t be simpler to prep, there are plenty of different ways to cook it!
You should try my perfect stove top version too. Trust me, both of these corn recipes are so simple, you’ll be making them all year long!
Or, maybe you want to use the crockpot, Instant Pot, or an air fryer.
These cooking methods allow you to enjoy the same flavor as oven roasted corn on the cob without heating up your whole kitchen. That’s a win-win!

Tips for Cooking Corn on the Cob
Use unsalted butter.
You won’t need the extra salt since you’ll be adding it along with freshly ground black pepper.
Need a butter substitute?
Olive, vegetable, or even coconut oil can be used in place of the butter. You just need some kind of coating when cooking corn on the cob so it doesn’t dry out.
Add some heat.
We love to add a dash of cayenne pepper when we make baked corn on the cob.
Stir it into the softened butter before smearing over the kernels so you don’t accidentally add too much.
Try different corn on the cob toppings!
Instead of flavored butter, add some smoked paprika, your favorite herbs from the garden, or even a citrus compound butter.
Mess Free Buttering Tip!
Leave the wrapper on the stick of butter and rub the end over the surface of the kernels. You’ll get even coverage and keep your fingers clean in the process!
