Start by firing up your grill at medium heat. Remove your corn’s outer husks before rubbing it down with unsalted butter. Place the ears of the corn on aluminum foil. Make sure to roll up your foil to create moist corn. Cook your corn on grill gates for approximately 20 to 30 minutes. Roll your corn throughout the cooking process.

Set your Instant Pot maker to cook on high for four minutes and combine your macaroni, four cups of water, and one tablespoon of salt.

While adding your cheddar, make sure you stir until the cheese melts.
