Just Whipperwhirl 24 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 We have beautiful corn here in the summers. It seems a shame to boil it - I have heard people grill their corn - Dumb question - how is this accomplished? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodlebug....Cherie 461 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I don't boil or grill mine. I clean it and out it in ziplock bags and pop it in the microwave. It comes out crisp and tasty without being waterlogged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Judy in Texas 150 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I cook mine on the stove but I don't boil it. I bring a pot of water just to a boil then remove it from the heat. I add the corn, put a lid on it, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. I just heat it through. YUM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MLM5.. aka Judy 97 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I wrap it in heavy duty foil, smother it in whatever strikes up my fancy at the moment, (butter, salt pepper, or parmesean cheese, or italian dressing..) and just lay it on there, you dont want to put it on direct heat, takes about 45 minutes but it's yum yum yummy!!

K2P2mom 2 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 We soak ours (in the husk) for a while and then put it on the grill or over the fire. It needs to be turned frequently. Once it is done, we either put it in an old cooler to stay hot while the meat is grilling or lay the ears around the edge of the firepit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Yep, soak it in the husks for a couple hours and lay it on the grill. It's done when the husks are dry and starting to char. Watch it when you peel it, though, it will release some really hot steam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sensei 18 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I soak mine in salty water for a few hours before grilling. Grill til the husks are charred, peel, smear liberally with butter, and consume. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessrick 10 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Trim the top of the husk. Put on the grill (gas type), medium heat. Turn about 4 times while cooking. Done when the outer husk is brown & but not too much charing.Those silicone cooking gloves work well to handle them while pulling off the husk.Butter & light sprinkling of Tony Chachere's is our favorite.

PureTcrazy...rita 380 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 I peel the husks back and "silk" my ears before I soak them, if I am grilling in the husks. If I am doing them in foil, I butter them and sprinkle with a wee bit of chili powder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wrapped in bacon, grilled till slightly charred, then glazed with honey. Hey, remember? Everything is good with bacon or honey...or bacon AND honey! :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just Beachy 18 Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 When we do corn on the grill, we use Paula Deen's recipe:Shuck the corn. Slather the ears in mayonnaise (trust me...sounds gross, but it's awesome!). Roll in parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and chili powder. Wrap in tin foil. Grill over medium heat, turning frequently, for about 15 minutes.We love our corn this way!!! :banana: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BouncingTiggers 98 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 We soak in water for 30 minutes. Then while we are eating the meats the corn cooks to perfection and becomes the 2nd course. Oh what I'd give for some nice sweet corn right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

homebrew 14 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 In the husk like every one has said, but if it's not all dried out I don't soak it first. If you don't want to fire up the grill and have access toa microwave..........in the husk on high for three min per ear. Let it stand for 2 min ...peel the husk back one leaf at a time. then you can grab the silk from the top and pull it all off. The peeled back husk makes a dandy handle that's not super hot. :rofl2: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCTigerCock 171 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I peel the husks back and "silk" my ears before I soak them, if I am grilling in the husks. X2If we remember we will soak the corn, if not will just be crispier. :rant: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beccaewert 10 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 I peal the ears back and tied it with some twine or rope to use as a handle,...husk it (de-silk it, whatever you call it :rant:) then I soak it in melted butter and season salt (Lawry's) and put it on the grill using the ears as my handle and slowly turn it ever 1-2 minutes until nicely roasted.....SO YUMMY!
