Corn on the Cob:
There are three basic ways to cook corn on the cob. The first way is in the husk, water soaked, the second would be in the husk, and third would be out of the husk wrapped in foil. In all three cases, grilled corn comes out much better than boiled corn with the added grilled flavor. I am not one much for vegetables, but sweet corn right out the farm field when in season is one of the best things you can cook on the grill.
1) Water Soaked Corn in the Husk: first take the corn in the husk and soak in water for one hour. Then place in the grill over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently. Then remove corn from husks and remove the silks before serving.
2) Grilled corn in the Husk: Peel back the Husks and remove the corn silk. Then, coat corn with butter. I use a cut down stick of butter for this. Just rub up and down the ear of corn and if you want to salt the corn, now it's time to do it. Put the husk back on the corn and tie it at the top you can use butchers twine or a garbage bag type metal twist ties to hold it shut. Grill over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently remove from husk before serving.
3)Foil Wrapped Corn on the Cob: remove corn from husks and de-silk (a damp paper towel run up and down the ear will help remove loose silks). Coat the ear of corn with butter (I use a cut down stick of butter for this) and if you want to salt the corn, now it's time to do it. I also like buttering the foil little bit. Wrap the foil around the buttered ear of corn, tightly then pierce the foil with a fork. All the way around place on the grill over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, turning frequently, (the butter will leak out of the holes and burn if not turned). Remove from foil and serve.
