Title: Favorite way to grill sweet corn?
Post by: Kingcreek on July 20, 2018, 03:21:46 PM

It's summer and the fresh sweet corn is abundant here. We like to cook on the grill, a lot.
Lately our preferred method is to pull the husks back carefully, remove silks, butter, and then replace most or atleast a few of the inner husks, and then grill. The husks protect the corn from over charring and give it a little bit of a smoke or toasted flavor.

There really isn't a lot of ways to grill fresh corn on the cob, in the husk, wrapped in foil or naked. When doing in the husk I don't bother removing the silk, just cut it back the rest will come off when you shuck it after cooking. I guess you could try different seasonings on all three methods but other than that I wouldn't know of anything else.

I often boil the corn and then just sear it/char it a bit on the grill.

We think it has more flavor if not boiled. We tried soaking for a bit in cold water before grilling but couldn't tell much difference. Plain naked corn on the cob grilled is ok but you have to keep turning it to get even doneness and avoid charred spots. We take the outer husks off and leave the inner husks.

Soak it for a few hours or overnight in buttermilk before grilling.

I just pull off the first couple layers of dried up husk and trim both ends a tad and that's it, then to the grill.

The silk and such comes off very easy once cooked. And then a little butter and salt to call it a day.
