Since we're posting about corn

I shuck the corn, lay it on aluminum foil (couple layers thick), add in a few pats of butter and sprinkle salt, and wrap it up.

Then grill it on a fire; it caramelizes and tastes great. Just be careful when you unwrap it - it's hot.

I don't shuck first, just soak them in water for 10 or 15 minuts and then wrap in aluminum.... marble falls May 2013 #3

Try a non-butter route--take the hot corn, rub with a lime wedge, and sprinkle salt.... msanthrope May 2013 #4

No shucking or cleaning.

Corn

Fire

Place corn on fire

When husk is charred black corn is done.

We eat it completely unadorned by foreign matter like salt or butter.

foil and grill. If I'm using wood or charcoal, I'll put the ear into the ash around the perimeter of the grill. Good eating anyway you grill it
