Tips:

  • Prepare the Corn: Remove the husks and silk from the corn. For a better grip, twist the ear in opposite directions to remove the husks easily.
  • Use High-Quality Butter: The quality of the butter can greatly impact the flavor of the corn. Opt for unsalted butter to control the saltiness.
  • Generously Brush the Corn: Ensure each ear of corn is evenly coated with melted butter. Use a pastry brush to apply the butter evenly.
  • Sprinkle Seasonings: Enhance the flavor of the corn with your favorite seasonings. Popular choices include salt, pepper, garlic powder, chili powder, or paprika.
  • Wrap the Corn in Foil: Wrapping the corn in foil helps steam it, resulting in tender and juicy corn.
  • Bake at High Temperature: Bake the corn at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) to achieve a slightly charred and caramelized exterior while keeping the inside tender.
  • Check for Doneness: Insert a toothpick or a sharp knife into the center of the corn. If it goes through easily, the corn is done.
  • Serve Hot: Serve the corn immediately after baking for the best flavor and texture.
