Freezing Instructions:
To Freeze Kernels: Hold the corn upright with one hand at the top end and use a sharp knife to cut the kernels off of the cob. Spoon corn into freezer-safe bags. Squeeze all of the air out, seal the bag, and label it with the date. Freeze for up to 8 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
To Freeze Whole Cob: Allow it to cool completely, then wrap each corn cob in tinfoil. Place in a freezer-safe bag. Allow the corn to thaw in the fridge before eating or re-warming in the microwave.

How much more time for frozen corn on the cob?
I’d add 1-2 minutes.
My frozen came out really mushy
Could not have been more easy and came out perfect.
Do I increase the time if I cook more than 6 ears?
No, the time stays the same, the instant pot will just take longer to come to pressure.
Thank you! So easy!
