Crock Pot Corn on the Cob

For now, love yourself and enjoy this one ... 

Make tender corn on the cob any time of the year with this simple Crock Pot recipe.

Corn on the cob is a summer favorite in our home. When family and friends come over, it’s the perfect crowd-pleaser. Oh, it’s easy on the wallet, too. I don’t like to skimp on quality produce, but I’m also a penny pincher. I’m what you call a dichotomy. My preferred method for making corn on the cob is on the grill, but that can be a hassle, especially for weeknights and parties. That’s where my Crock Pot comes in. But even if you don’t own a Crock Pot, any slow cooker will do nicely.

Sure, grilled corn in the husk is my fave, but one thing I like about Crock Pot corn on the cob is that it’s pretty hard to botch this recipe. The corn seems to always come out moist and tender. All you need is a bit of salt and butter, and you have a deliciously simple side dish

Is Crock Pot Corn on the Cob Healthy?

Corn is an excellent source of vitamins A, B, and E and contains many trace minerals. It’s also a low-glycemic food with insoluble fiber. The only “unhealthy” aspect of this recipe is the butter, except how much you use is really up to you. As long as you don’t drench your corn in butter, I’d say that this recipe is pretty darn healthy. However, if you want to keep your saturated fats to a minimum, swap the butter with a vegan alternative.

A little [TAG31] goes a long way

My recipe keeps the flavor simple, but don’t be afraid to add a little zest to this dish. Instead of the typical brush of butter, try a zesty herb drizzle. You can use butter (vegan or dairy) or olive oil for this drizzle, I’m partial to a mix of parsley, chives, and minced garlic. These simple herbs add a pop of flavor sure to please your guests and your tastebuds. If you’re feeling adventurous, create your own mix. Anything goes! I’d love to hear what you picked!

FAQs & Tips

Serving Suggestions

Corn on the cob was made to be eaten with grilled food. Burgers, hot dogs, and really any sort of charred meat are worthy pairings. But not all burgers are created equal, and I, for one, like to add a flavorful twist to my meals. Check out my cajun burgers with sweet potato buns. Or do you wanna keep it vegetarian? This black bean burger recipe is hard to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is eating raw basil good for you?

I'm sure everyone knows that fresh herbs are great for cooking but did you know that you could eat them too? Raw, uncooked herbs are packed full of nutrients and vitamins that we normally have to cook.

They contain more antioxidants than any fruit or vegetable. And they also help our immune systems stay strong and healthy.

The best way to enjoy these delicious little green gems is to eat them raw from the garden. But there's nothing wrong with enjoying them cooked, either. They taste even better when sautéed in olive oil and served alongside pasta or rice.

There are lots of ways to incorporate raw herbs into recipes. Add them to salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, omelets, stir-fries, and pesto.

Just make sure you wash them well first!

What are the disadvantages of using herbs?

Herbs are a great way to keep your body healthy because they contain vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, enzymes, amino acids, phytonutrients, polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenes, essential oils, carotenoids, sterols, and sterolins. Some even contain cannabinoids.

But there are also lots of side effects associated with herbal remedies. For example, taking too much herb could cause liver damage or even death. Herbal supplements may interact with prescription drugs, which means that they might affect how well the drug works.

Some herbs can interfere with blood clotting, while others may increase bleeding when taken with anticoagulants (blood thinners).

There are also safety concerns for pregnant women and children.

The bottom line is that herbs aren't safe for everyone. If you're considering trying them out, do your homework. Look up each product's side effects and warnings and read reviews online.

How do you make medicinal herbs?

There are many different methods to make herbs into medicinal products. The most common method is to dry the herbs in a warm, dark location before grinding them into a powder or extracting their essential oils. This can be accomplished by hanging herbs upside down in bunches, laying herbs on a drying screen, or using a food dehydrator.

Once dried and ground, herbs can be stored in airtight containers for future use. Other herbs may require special preparation, such as infusing herbs into oil or vinegar, making tinctures with alcohol, or distilling herbs to create essential oils.

Learning the correct techniques for preparing herbs can help ensure that they retain their medicinal properties and potency for optimal health benefits. Using fresh herbs is usually best, but herbs can also be grown in a pot or garden and harvested when they are mature. Herbs can be purchased at health food stores, online retailers, and specialty shops.

No matter where herbs come from, the preparation techniques remain the same; drying herbs in a warm location followed by grinding or extracting the essential oils. You can make your medicinal herbs with the right herbs and preparation techniques.

When making herbal preparations, it is essential to remember that herbs can vary in potency, so always dilute herbs before use or follow the directions on any product label. Additionally, herbs are best used fresh, as many of their beneficial components degrade over time.

Following safety guidelines and paying attention to the potency of herbs can help ensure that you get the most benefit from your herbs. With a bit of practice and preparation, anyone can make therapeutic herbs with medicinal properties. Remember that herbs should never replace any medical advice or treatments prescribed by a doctor. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional before using herbs medicinally.

How To

How do I know if my herbs have been treated with pesticides?

If you see a pesticide label on your herbs, the plants were sprayed with chemicals before being sold to you.

These chemicals harm human health and could cause cancer or other serious illnesses.

Unfortunately, this practice has become common around the globe. Many countries allow farmers to spray their crops with pesticides without proper regulation.

In order not to harm themselves, consumers should always ask about the source of their produce. If it comes from a farmer near you, it’s safe to assume it was not treated with pesticides.

However, there are still ways to ensure that your herbs are free from harmful chemicals.

However, if you want to ensure that your herbs aren’t contaminated, you can purchase organic herbs directly from the farm.

This way, you won’t need to worry about the safety of your herbs. You can trust that they weren’t exposed to harmful chemicals.
