Putting corn on the cob on the charcoal grill...how long?

[ret5hd]

surely some one here knows, i've never done it before.

1. Wrapped in foil, about 20-30 mins last time I did it n/t

2. Pull back the husks, clean the ears, butter and salt them...

then put the husks back in place. You can use a wet piece of string to secure the husks, if you like.

I usually roast them for an hour to an hour and a half, depending on how hot my coals are. Edited to add that I usually roast the corn on low heat, and that's why it takes so long.

Perhaps others can offer better advice.

4. Soak in water...

for about a half hour if in husks. Then cook for about 30 minutes. Have butter and salt and pepper at the ready.

6. thanks everyone!

You're welcome,

I should point out that mine still have the husks inside the foil, btw.

5. I could be wrong

But it seems to me that corn only needs to be made hot. It doesn't need much cooking.

7. Soak in cold water ...Pull back husks 1/3 way...Salt/pepper/butter

Loosely wrap in multiple layers of aluminum foil....Takes about 45 minutes to cook and it is FABULOUS!

9. I tried putting it on the grill without husk

for about fifteen minutes, then basted it with a mixture of mayonnaise, salt, pepper, a little lime juice, a touch of paprika and a bunch of chili powder. Holy cats was it good.

10. Doing lamb on the grill right now

Will have fresh corn cut off the cob and fried. Yuummm!!
And apple, celery, walnut salad.

Edited to add salad that I didn't know Hubby was making since I'm always in the spare bedroom lurking on DU.

11. strip the husk

down to just one layer. Put on the grill, turning occasionally, until the husk is starting to char.

No soaking, no cleaning, nothing. When you pull back the husk, the silk will come with it. Easy and tasty.
