Corn on the cob and grilling are two summer favorites.\u00a0 Grilled corn on the cob is a great addition to any grilled meal and grilling corn on the cob is easy to do.\u00a0 There are two main ways to grill corn on the cob, the first is with the husk off, and the second with the husk on.<\/p>\n

Grilling Corn on the Cob with the Husk Off<\/h2>\n

\"Grilling<\/a>One of my favorite ways is to husk fresh corn on the cob, rinse with water, brush butter or margarine on the corn with a pastry brush, sprinkle with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminum foil, and put on the grill.<\/p>\n

Turn every 10 minutes and cook for a total of 30 minutes.\u00a0 The water helps steam the corn and the butter, salt, and pepper give the corn a delicious buttery moist taste as it is grilled. I love it when the kernels get slightly charred. Gives it a great taste!<\/p>\n

A different way to grill corn with the husk off is to husk the corn, rinse, and then boil until just done.\u00a0 Then put the corn directly on a hot grill and brush with melted butter.\u00a0 Broil the corn until the tips of the kernels just start to brown.<\/p>\n

Brush with melted butter again when done and season as desired.\u00a0 This method allows you to start the corn cooking while grilling the main course, and then to finish the corn off on the grill, giving it that distinctive grilled flavor.<\/p>\n

Grilling Corn on the Cob with the Husk On<\/h2>\n

\"GrillingGrilling corn on the cob directly in the husks is the other way to roast corn.\u00a0 In this method, peel back the corn husks, without removing them, remove the silk, and then rinse the corn.\u00a0 Replace the husks and secure them with twine or piece of the husk.<\/p>\n

Soak the cobs in water for 1-2 hours.\u00a0 After soaking, place the corn on hot coals or on the grill for about 30 minutes.\u00a0 Turn each cob as its husk turns to white, yellow, and then brown.\u00a0 The moist husks will steam the corn and keep the corn from burning.<\/p>\n

You can also brush butter on the cob and add seasonings after soaking in water and before replacing the husks.\u00a0 This method will give the corn a very strong roasted flavor that is a favorite of many.\u00a0\u00a0 A variation of this method is to leave the silk on and then remove after grilling is done.<\/p>\n

\"GrillingA slightly different method you can use for grilling corn on the cob is to pull back the husks but leave them attached.\u00a0 Remove the silk and rinse as before.\u00a0 Gather the husks at the end of the cob (where they are attached) and tie them together to form a handle.<\/p>\n

Brush butter and seasonings on the cob.\u00a0 Put the cobs on the grill with medium heat, cooking for 10-12 minutes.\u00a0 A piece of foil placed under the husk handles will keep them from burning.\u00a0 The corn will be a golden brown color when done.<\/p>\n

\"CornEach of these methods used for grilling corn on cob work very well, and you should try each to see which one is your favorite.<\/p>\n

You can also use a variety of seasonings in addition to, or instead of salt and pepper.\u00a0 These can be mixed with the butter prior to brushing on the corn, or can be sprinkled on the corn after brushing it with butter.<\/p>\n

Seasoning possibilities include minced garlic, basil, cilantro, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, lemon pepper, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, or any of your other favorite seasonings.\u00a0 Each will give the corn a very distinctive taste.<\/p>\n
