Grilling Corn

[Dano702]

As a classically trained chef I will tell you which way has worked best for me...

Completely shuck the corn and get a pot of well salted water boiling. You are going to "par boil" the corn which means you are going to place it in the water for about 3-4 minutes fully submerged. The corn then goes straight into a bowl of salted ice water to stop the cooking process. This can be done ahead of time. When you are ready to cook brush it lightly with olive oil and then grill until warmed thru with a little bit of grill marks for flavor.




Butter or not is up the chef but good corn should be plenty sweet and need little more.



Great Thread!


We just tried this . The corn i got from the store had been cut , and i didnt know if i should grill it with one end open . Next time i will make sure the cobs are un cut.


The old lady said it was the best corn on the cob she had ever had , and that was how we were doing it from now on.

If I want one or two ears quickly I just skinner' real good and wrap in a paper towel then wet it down and microwave for 3-4 minutes.

Yep.. for a quick one or two with no grill... I use a microwave and ziplock bag..

Easy and delicious:

Clean the corn (husk and silk), butter, salt and pepper to taste, wrap in foil and BBQ for 8 - 12 minutes on medium (rotate every 4 minutes or so). Remove from grill, set aside and the corn will carry over cook to the right tenderness while you cook everything else (lobster tail) to go with the corn.

If you want to cook it in the husk, you have to soak the cob after you remove the silk to ensure the husk does not burn on the grill - season how you prefer.

Make sure you give her a nice big birthday kiss and hug in the morning (after you brush your teeth) it will make her day

something different:

make a seasoned butter with a little fresh garlic, salt, pepper, season salt, basil, parsley and whatever else turns your crank, peel and clean the cobs, put directly on a medium hot grill and brush with your butter as you turn, you want the corn to just start to brown.........then enjoy, excellent with baby back ribs

Very close to my suggestion except add a little diced sundried tomato and diced onion. Wrap loosely in foil with lots of butter and put on the Q for about 20 mins.
DO NOT microwave in a Zip-loc bag. Microwaved plastics are very harsh carcinogens. Especially something like a plastic bag!!!!
For dessert try a BBQ'd banana. Leave the banana in the peel and slice half way through the banana lenghtwise. Stuff the banana with chocolate chips and wrap in foil. Put on the barby until the chips have melted, unwrap and serve with vanilla ice cream. Something different and tasty!
