There are few things more delicious than corn on the cob. Grilled
corn on the cob makes for a scrumptious addition to any barbeque
and by following the instructions below, your corn on the cob is
certain to turn our perfect.
There are two ways of grilling corn on the cob: either with the
husk or without the husk but in aluminium foil. In this article
to I am going to explain both methods.
Corn on the Cob Grilled in Aluminium Foil
* First you will need to pull all the husks off the corn, remove
the silk from the corn as well.
* Now you have a choice of either soaking or not soaking your
corn. Some people swear by it and others don't like it quite as
much. Should you decide on soaking your corn you will need to
soak the corn for at least 20 minutes in a pot of cold water.
Make sure that the ears are completely covered when soaking your
corn.
* After soaking, tear off square pieces of aluminium foil and
place each ear diagonally across each square.
* Lightly brush the kernels on each ear of corn with olive oil.
* You can add a little garlic, black pepper, chopped onion and
salt according to taste to each ear of corn.
* Wrap the ears with the aluminium foil.
* Heat the grill to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the
corn onto the grill.
* Turn the corn regularly to prevent it from charring too much on
one side for the first couple of minutes.
* After a couple of turns place the corn on the side of the grill
away from direct heat,close the top and leave there for about 15
to 20 minutes.
* The corn is done when the kernels are soft to the touch.
* Using oven mitts, remove the corn from the grill.
* Remove the aluminium foil and serve with butter.
Corn on the Cob Grilled in the Husk
* If you happen to have ears of corn with many layers of husk,
remove the first couple of layers by peeling them off leaving
enough layers on for protection.
* Soak the cobs in a pot of cold water for 15 to 20 minutes
making sure that the ears are completely under the water. By
soaking the cobs you will provide extra moisture to the corn when
grilling and the moisture will steam the kernels.
* After 20 minutes remove the corn from the water.
* Pull the husks off the corn but be sure not to completelyremove
them.
* Pull off the silk from the corn and lightly brush the kernels
of each cob with olive oil.
* Add some herbs, salt and spices to the corn if you desire.
* Re-wrap the corn in the husks and lightly tie the ears with
some of the husk you have taken off or some string.
* Heat the grill to about 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place the
ears on the grill rotating regularly for the first couple of
minutes.
* Move the ears to the side of the grill away from direct heat
and cook for about 20 minutes.
* You will want to have a spray bottle on hand filled with water,
use the bottle to keep the corn husks moist and prevent them from
catching on fire.
* Your corn is ready when the husk darkens and the kernels at the
tip of the ear start pulling away.
* Using oven mitts remove the ears from the grill. Grabbing hold
of one end of the ear, peel the husk off and enjoy your grilled
corn on the cob.
