How do you cook corn on the grill?

[Just Whipperwhirl 24]

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?

[doodlebug....Cherie 461]

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.

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! 

[MLM5.. aka Judy 97]

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!!

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.

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.

I believe most fiends like it... WRAPPED IN BACON!! 

:rofl2:

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.

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.

Same here!

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.

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:

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:

That Paula Deen - always into the health food.

[BouncingTiggers 98]

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.

Well, I went camping with Jimmy one weekend. He cracked his corn, but I didn't care.

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 to

a 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:

We do this too expect not parmesan cheese. (will try it next time though)  It is sooooooo good!

If we remember we will soak the corn, if not will just be crispier.

[beccaewert 10]

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!

I've got to try it this way. I love corn, but it doesn't like me so I only eat it about twice a summer season.
