: : : I'm a barbecue carnivore, but I do like grilled veggies. My favorite
: : : is grilled corn on the cob. To cook, leave on the husks, and put the
: : : corn on the grill before you start cooking the steaks. Grilled corn takes
: : : abo
ut an hour. When it's done, peel off the husks, and put back on the
: : : grill to brown for a couple of minutes. Then serve.
: : I have heard of a slightly different way to cook corn (but have not
: : tried it yet, nor the method above!). Le
ave on the husks; thoroughly
: : soak in water; grill. It was suggested to me that they cook quickly
: : (sorry, I cannot quote a time!), due to steam from the water acquired
: : while soaking.
: : Can anyone provide any insight? Any compar ative experiences?

: Hi Greg,
: I've grilled corn for about 20 years. The reason I cook it so long is
: to make sure it's done. When the kernals start to get air space between them: then you've cooked too long, and it's drying out. This is assuming you
: are cooking on a steak grill -- and I've still gone as long as
: an hour. You need to give it a good head start or you'll be waiting
: all night to serve steaks.
:
Leave the husks on the corn while it's cooking to keep it from drying,
: and also the silks in the husks will give more flavor to the corn.
: Serve it just like regular corn on the cob -- Europeans don't know
: what they're missing, they think c
orn is animal feed, but eat things
: we won't like slugs -- things to ponder.
: -BBQ Doc
P.S. Do as described in previous notes, and turn the cobs 1/4 turn
about every 15 minutes, to ensure that corn is evenly cooked.
