How do you grill your 🌽

[BriggsBBQ]

I soak the whole thing in water. Then cook on the grill in the husk. Once done peel of the husk.

1. slather it up with mayo. Preferably homemade.
2. add salt and pepper (wife prefers Tarjin)
3. add lime

Boom good to go.

Surprised no one has mentioned sous vide. If you haven't tried it do so, it locks in the flavor that's lost in steaming. You can add butter and aromatics to the bag, cooks in 25 mins at 185*.

I also like the method of leaving the husk on, grilling, then cutting the base off with a sharp knife. The whole corn cob is then easily removed sans the silk and all.

Finally want to give a shout out to Elote - or Mexican Corn (which some have already talked about). Love that stuff !!!

I assume you husk them before SV?

[Troutman]

Oh yea of course. The other is a grilling option, works pretty slick.

Here's our favorite recipe:

4 to 6 ears sweet corn, husked
4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon Ancho chili powder
Couple of grinds of black pepper


Set up your grill for a direct cook at 450°F.

Combine everything but the corn in a 9×13 flame-proof pan (aluminum foil drip pans work great for this).

When the grill is ready, set the pan on the grate and heat just until the butter is melted. Remove from heat, but keep warm nearby.

Grill the corn directly on the grate, turning a little it every minute or so until the kernels are a deep yellow and have started to lightly blackened (about 5 minutes). Move ears to basting pan and rotate to coat. Return to the grill and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, turning often. Remove to the basting pan, rotate again to coat, and then move the pan full of corn to the grill. Let it sit on the grate until everything starts to bubble, about a minute.

This is how I do it: Peel the corn. Melt some butter and pour it onto a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and roll the ears around in it. I start by cooking the corn indirectly until the kernels are partially cooked and then move the ears to direct cooking. Once the kernels have developed some real nice color, I put them back into the cookie sheet and roll them around on the remaining butter which has now solidified. Scrumptious.

I husk and cut the corn off the cob before SVing with butter and thyme. Delicious crisp tender.

Otherwise the cobs get grilled without husks with a butter baste until a bit of char comes about. Grill Grates a must. Yum.

That said, I'm trying BGWolf 's method this weekend. The more butter mixture in those crevices, the better.

I grill them over direct heat, in the husk. Then, when they are about done, I take them off the grill peel back the husk, dip it in a melted garlic butter. Then they go back on the grill to char up the kernels. I think the charred husk adds flavor as well.

[JCGrill]

Sounds like I do it like your BIL Just throw them on the grill over medium heat with husks on and silk still in it. Turn every 5 minutes a quarter turn. Done in 20 to 30.

In the winter when you can get good corn (not very often) husk them, wrap in waxed paper, and microwave for two minutes per ear.

If you freeze fresh corn you will have fresh corn in the winter Attjack

[Attjack]

Good call, customtrim .

[JCGrill]

Attjack occasionally I wimp out.

[JoeSousa]

I just remove the husk and silk and throw them on the grill. Some of the kernels get a bit charred and taste like popcorn. Cover with butter, salt, and pepper. Sometimes I will mix some butter and hot sauce and baste it with that when cooking as well but usually they just cook as they are on the grates.

And the grilled corn makes for great esquites: https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/...ad-recipe.html. If you throw a couple wood chunks on while cooking even better.

I don't buy it without the husk. Always smoke it, or direct heat if I'm not setup to smoke it. Irish butter and cinnamon. My wife does the S&P after destroying a stick a butter by rotating the corn on it. Opposites attract? More like happy wife, happy life...

[texastweeter]

Soak it husks and all for at least an hour in water. I then grill them on the holland grill for 40 minutes, turning at the 20 minute mark. once done, cut the stem end off with a sharp knife and squeeze the tapered end.They will pop out of the husks leaving 90% of the silk behind. butter and season heavily with veg. magic.

[jgreen]

Some great ideas. Wife still likes the boiling water, but I need to work on that. Corn season just starting here now.

[Livermoron]

At home, I chuck and grill them (we're great fans of the malliard effect). At work, we have a farmers market nearby on fridays, so I use the microwave method...
