Wow, what a great way to make corn on the cob! I just sprayed a bit of butter-flavored Pam and added some salt and pepper before cooking, then butter after. Possibly the best corn on the cob I've ever had. Yummy!
Fantastic! So glad you loved it!
Im going to try the butter flavored pam. Thx
Enjoy 🙂
This is a question...not a comment. I know butter isn’t a high heat tolerant oil, but can it be used in the first rub before you cook it? I haven’t used my air frier yet.
That is a great question Caron! I am honestly not sure. I think I would shy away from using the butter prior and stick with the oil which is more high heat tolerant 🙂
These came out perfect! I can't wait to make these again with dinner.
Fantastic, so glad they came out perfect for you!
