School will be out soon. I’m so happy! While I really love the structure of the school year, I am looking forward to being able to maybe (fingers crossed) sleep in occasionally, and not be quite so busy. I realize life will never slow down. But having some time when I am not running kids to school would be nice. And summer also means two other things: Corn and Watermelon!
Corn is my favorite! You guys, this is a ridiculously easy to make corn recipe, but since many of you like to see rather than be told how to do something, I figured it was time for another video. Aren’t you so excited? If you aren’t already following me on YouTube you should be. I only have 90 followers, so chances are you aren’t haha, help a girl out!
Look how easy this method of cooking corn is? Seal that corn up in a nice foil packet for a little steam bath, and forget about it until it is time to eat. No need to heat your house with a boiling pot of water. No need to try and grill your corn without burning it. Basically, it is an awesome method whether you are using frozen corn (like I did), or fresh from the garden.
We love corn on the cob at our house. Love it. I can’t get enough of it. All summer I find myself stopping at those road side stands buying it by the dozen. But when I can’t get it fresh, I buy the frozen sweet corn. It is never as good, so I have been trying to find the right way to cook it to make it just as yummy, and this is it!
Just brush on some olive oil or butter, season as you like, I squeezed on lime, then sprinkled on spices, seal it in foil, and cook in your slow cooker.
Did I mention you can make this corn in advance? I love this for a BBQ or summer garden party because I can do all the prep work in advance instead of the day of when all is chaos. Then a couple hours before the party, dinner, event, or whatever, I pop it in the slow cooker and turn it on high.
Wait a couple of hours. Then turn the slow cooker off, open the foil, and wah-la! Perfection!
Mind blown, right?

What a great idea for a party. We usually grill our corn but I love that I can put this together before everyone arrives. What a time saver.

Thank you!

Rachel, looks like a tasty recipe. However, it doesn’t indicate lenth of time. High or Low.
Christine ?
Rachael says
High, and cook until it is fragrant. Usually an hour or so.
