So this is my first slow-cooker recipe because I finally got a slow cooker y’all. I mean what kind of food blogger doesn’t have a croc-pot? Me, that’s who!! My mom gave me a early mother’s day gift, one of those fancy slow-cookers that comes with a digital timers.  I am officially in love.

My husbands makes the best corn on the cob. He slow braises them in coconut milk. So when I started to experiment with the slow cooker- I wondered if I could make his corn on the cob in the crock pot…. and the answer is yes. And I dare say it is even better because of the slow braising process.

    Oooooh baby! Cooking maniac indeed! This was the absolute, most delicious corn on the cob I have EVER eaten. The only substitution I made was using Basil because I didn’t have Thyme. My daughter, who is at times, a picky eater, enjoyed this as well. Thank you ever so much for this beautiful and delicious recipe! And yes, coconut milk makes everything better. Again, thank you for sharing this recipe.

      Hey there Abby! I have never made them with frozen corn but I am assuming that they will work too. Let me know how they turned out. 🙂 🙂

    Love this idea!! I would love to take this to a cookout we’re going to. What’s the best way to transport? With or without the juice? Also, would it be totally rude to heat it up when we got there?

    Looks delicious!! Do you think you could make one batch ahead of time and reheat for the party (then make second batch)?
