GRILLED CORN



Grilled Corn image

You can grill corn with the husks on. You can strip the husks partly off, remove the silks and re-wrap the ears, then grill. You can soak the corn in cool water before grilling. Or blanch it in hot. I blanch, occasionally following the lead of the celebrity chef Bobby Flay, who adds a cup of milk to his blanching liquid. "I have no idea why I do it," he said. "It's like adding corks to the liquid when you're poaching octopus. Who knows if it works? But it's a foolproof way to get perfect corn." Serve with butter, as in this recipe, or dab with mayonnaise and sprinkle with cotija cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

10 ears fresh corn
1 cup whole milk, optional
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
  • Meanwhile, shuck the corn, removing both husks and silks.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and set over high heat to come to a simmer. Add the milk, if using.
  • Blanch the corn in the pot for about 3 minutes, then stack on a platter.
  • Apply just a little butter to each ear of corn, then place on grill. Cook, turning often, until the corn is tender and some of the kernels are beginning to darken, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining butter and salt.

How to choose corn: Look for tight, squeaky, green husks and rows of kernels that feel taut and full when you run your hands over the cobs.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 ears of corn, in husk
Charred Spring Onion and Sesame-Chile Butter

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for medium heat. Grill corn, rotating occasionally, until husks are blackened (some will flake and fall off) and kernels are tender with some browned and charred spots, 25-35 minutes.
  • Let corn cool slightly, then shuck. Serve with Charred Spring Onion and Sesame-Chile Butter.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh corn: Look for ears with bright green husks and tightly packed kernels. Avoid ears with brown or damaged husks.
  • Remove the husks: Pull back the husks and remove the silk. Leave about an inch of the husk at the base of the ear to protect the kernels.
  • Soak the corn: Soaking the corn in water for 30 minutes before grilling helps to prevent the kernels from drying out.
  • Season the corn: Brush the corn with melted butter, olive oil, or your favorite marinade. You can also sprinkle it with salt, pepper, or other spices.
  • Grill the corn: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, turning it occasionally, until the kernels are tender and slightly charred.

Conclusion:

Grilling corn on the cob is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this summer vegetable. With a few simple tips, you can grill perfect corn on the cob every time. So fire up your grill and get started!
