Tips:
- Choose fresh corn on the cob. Look for ears with tightly packed kernels and bright green husks. Avoid ears with brown or yellow husks, as these may be old or dried out.
- Soak the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling. This will help to prevent the husks from burning and will also help the corn to cook more evenly.
- Grill the corn over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally. You can also grill the corn in a foil packet, which will help to keep it moist.
- To test if the corn is done, insert a toothpick into the center of a kernel. If the toothpick goes in easily, the corn is done.
- Serve the corn hot with butter, salt, and pepper. You can also add other toppings, such as sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, or crumbled bacon.
