How To Grill Corn On Cob - Even Indoors

Have you only made corn-on-the-cob by boiling it? There is another way to cook it and it is so delicious. You won't believe how easy it is.

This is my families favorite when we go camping in the summer. They also love it indoors on rainy days. My kids can't get enough of them, and they are pretty picky eaters.

Things You'll Need:

6 Ears of Corn - Amount is up to you
Grill, Foil, and/or Grill Skillet
6 Tablespoons Butter - margarine is actually a lot worse for your health : )
Salt and Pepper
Napkins

Step 1:

Grill Outdoor: Peel down the husks on cobs to bottom area. Do NOT pull them all the way off. Pull out all the silk from the corn. Rinse clean under water. Put the husk back down over corn.

Grill Indoors: Peel husk completely off corn. Remove and rinse all silk from corn.

Step 2:

Grill Outdoors: Place cobs of corn (with husks still attached) in container of water, submerged. Let soak 15 to 20 minutes. Drain corn on the cob by holding them upside down for a couple seconds. This keeps them from catching on fire.

Gill Indoors: No soaking needed.

Step 3:

Gill Outdoors: Preheat grill in usual manner. Open husks and spread corn with butter. Keep husks attached.

Grill Indoors: Preheat oven to 350 degrees or heat grilling skillet on medium heat, which ever you wish to use. If you use the oven line tray with foil. Open husks and spread corn with butter.

Step 4:

Grill Outdoors: Once grill is heated, place cobs on grill. Cover and keep turning until all sides of husks look burnt.

Grill Indoors: Once oven or skillet is heated, place corn on foil lining or in skillet. Turn a couple of times. Total cooking time will be approximately 5 to 6 minutes, depending on the heating of your unit. Corn doesn't take long to cook. Cook a couple of minutes longer if you are starting with a frozen cob.

Tips

* Try melting butter and garlic together, spread on at beginning.
* If preferred you can add more butter to the corn after cooked.
* Salt and pepper to taste.
* Have the napkins close at hand.
* Enjoy!
