I’m going to charcoal some salmon filets for my daughter this evening and wanted to do the corn on the grill also. Never done this before.
Suggestions??
Soak the ears in water for at least an hour or two before you grill them. That will prevent the leaves from burning.Throw em on low heat and rotate frequently. When theyre done, butter and salt to taste. My favorite way to make corn! For the salmon, use a little olive oil to coat the fillet, place on tin foil and season to taste. When its almost done coat with carmelized brown sugar and captain morgans for a sweet delicious glaze. MMMM MMM MMM. Might have to run out and catch a few salmon and pick up some sweet corn this afternoon now!
Salt, pepper, a little butter and wrap in aluminum foil. Cook on the side of your meat for about 10 minutes rotating it every few. Take out of the foil and chart he outsides if you want. Be sure not to overcook it, if the cob is bendy its overcooked.
Simply take the corn with husk on and soak in water for a good 15 minutes. Now place in grill on top rack or indirect heat. Depending on heat 15-30 minutes. Remove corn from grill and allow 5 minutes to cool, then husk and eat. Perfect every time…
I tend to like that smokey/char flavor to my corn. No prep. Just pull from bag and throw right on the grill or in the coals of the fire. When the husk in burnt away on the end and you are starting to see the corn its done. Some parts may be charred but the others will be cooked with a fantastic smokey flavor to it. I have pulled some pieces out of the fire that look very well burnt to the point of having burnt threw the hush the entire length of the cob on the hot side. Open them up and the other parts are still fantastic.
One thing you do want to watch out for with this method is having to hot of heat. To hot and the end will burn and the stalk end will not have started to cook yet. Then again sometimes that is not all bad either. The real good stuff is just fine raw.
yes, at the peak of the season when the sugar is going thru the roof, i’ve eaten it raw. The retail people are always mad at me for stripping a cob and ‘testing’ it at the stand b4 i buy… hey, i’ll buy one ear to just know the sugar!!
Grilled Sweet Corn
Soak ears of corn in water- husks and all for about an hour.
Heat grill as hot as possible.
Place corn on grill – close lid.
After five minutes turn corn.
Close lid and heat another 5 minutes.
After a total of 10 minutes (more if you like a bit of char on the corn) on the grill place corn in a cooler to steam for five minutes. NOTE: Do not use a Styrofoam cooler as it will melt. The cooler must be hard plastic. Use caution when opening the cooler as the steam will be very hot.
Pull husks from corn starting at the top. Serve with butter and salt.
i am off to soak the corn now!!!
2:45 one dozen soaking in ice water…
7:45pm 5 hours should be enuf.
10 mins per side coming up.
the salmon is marinating in equal parts of maple syrup, soy sauce and olive oil with ginger and garlic powder added…
Hope it turns out great. I just soak and grill. My family loves corn this way so much, it’s the only way they want it cooked.
Wife grilled our tonight. Pulled it off way to soon. Might just as well boiled it. Still pretty darn good.
Did get it done and it was fine.
The charred corn went very well with the salmon taste and my daughter, who is the worlds most finicky eater, chowed all her fish down!!
I was initially disappointed as, while it WAS better than other methods I’ve used, it wasn’t tonytiger GRRReat…
THEN i realized that it was still early corn, so the sugar content was low and that was what i was reacting to, hence my silence. Plus with summer heat, my computer is acting up.
