Microwave corn on the cob - Keep cobs in the husk and put into microwave on high for about 4 minutes. It is best to have a rotating lazy susan inside machine to rotate, or turn over halfway thru if you don't. Peel back husk to check tenderness with a fork.
Boiled Corn On Stove - Boil salted water over medium high heat until it reaches a rolling boil that doesn't stop. Remove husks and submerge cobs for about 4-6 minutes or until kernels are as tender as you'd like.
Air fryer corn on the cob - Remove husks, preheat machine to 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Put cobs into basket without overlapping them. Spray with olive oil on top. Heat at 400 for 6-10 minutes flipping over halfway until as tender as you would like.
Pressure cooker corn on the cob - Pour 1 cup water into pot, lower down vegetable steamer basket or trivet. Set husked cobs inside. Close and seal lid and steam valve and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes with a 2 minute natural release.
When done dip or drizzle melted butter on top with a sprinkle of salt and enjoy.
