My problem is I don't really know the 'formula' for grilling it, but have

gotten good results that way on occasion. It's just inconsistent. When I have grilled, it's in the husk, but I soak the whole piece of corn in water before grilling. The water inside the husk helps steam it.

BUT...for boiling, I can consistently get good results because I know the timing, and 'boiling' is always the same temperature and timing....it doesn't depend on the particular grill, or how much the wind is blowing, etc.

Put the cleaned corn in the pot and water. Turn up heat. Once it starts boiling, let it boil for 1 minute. Turn it off and....perfect.

Now bad corn will still taste bad, but good corn comes out just fine, thanks.

The trick if you boil is to add a little SUGAR, not salt, to the water. -- King Jaffe Joffer 05/10/2018 2:33PM

Skip the foil, and I agree. ** -- 48zip 05/10/2018 12:26PM

I wouldn’t want plastic wrap on my food in the microwave. I’ve placed corn -- Hoakie82 05/10/2018 5:05PM

Good fresh corn is good raw. Not as good, but..... ** -- 48zip 05/10/2018 6:31PM

I used to grill it with the husk on, but I think it's better without -- reestuart 05/10/2018 12:57PM

Agry. The char is what makes it right. ** -- 48zip 05/10/2018 12:59PM

Use Tajin instead of salt/pepper once in a while. ** -- reestuart 05/10/2018 12:36PM

That sounds pretty good. ** -- 48zip 05/10/2018 12:54PM

I’ve never tried Tajin I’ll have to look for it. Would a regular grocery -- Hoakie82 05/10/2018 12:49PM
