Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 ears of corn, husked
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened 1 stick
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced use up to 4 cloves
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh Italian parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Aluminum foil

Method
 

  1. Tear off large sheets of aluminum foil and place one husked ear of corn in the center of each.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and fresh parsley until smooth.
  3. Spread the garlic herb butter evenly over all sides of the corn.
  4. Season each buttered ear generously with salt and black pepper.
  5. Wrap the foil tightly around the corn, pinching the ends to seal in the steam.
  6. Place the wrapped ears into your slow cooker, overlapping if necessary.
  7. Add enough water to come one fourth of the way up each ear of corn.
  8. Cover and cook on LOW for 4 to 5 hours or on HIGH for 2 to 2 1/2 hours until tender.

Notes

Make sure to seal the foil tightly so the garlic herb butter melts directly into the corn and does not escape into the cooking water.
