Hi April. Around here in San Antonio, we have street vendors that sell it off the back of their charcoal powered grills mounted on their cars. Method #1: They strip back the shuck, but don't remove it. They clean off all the silk. Then they pull the shuck back up, twist the ends to close it back up, and put it close to the coals, but not over them. The cook it indirectly, rotating the corn until the green shuck turns brown and even starts to burn on the tips. That means all the moisuture from the shuck has steamed into the corn and it should be done with a nice smoky flavor. No butter here, "elote" is served with a tangy chili powder and some salt as the only condiments. Method #2: Strip back the shuck, clean off the silk and leave the shuck back. This corn is more grilled, and is tougher, but still good. The corn is rotated over the edge of the coals, closer than Method #1. When it has some grill marks and turns deep yellow, it is done. Usually this is served the same way as above, but with a slather of butter over it to boot. Neither method takes more than about 20 - 30 minutes on the grill. Good luck. Robert |

Using a stiff brush or your fingers, remove silk from corn. Pull husks back up around corn. In a large saucepan or container, cover corn (husks on) with cold water. Soak for at least 1 hour. Drain, shaking corn to remove excess water. Cover corn as much as possible with husks. If necessary, tie the tips of the husks together with wet kitchen string. Grill corn (with husks) on an uncovered grill directly over medium-hot coals about 25 minutes or until tender, turning several times. Carefully remove the husks and strings. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan combine butter, lemon juice, and thyme. Heat on the grill or stovetop until butter is melted. Brush mixture over the corn before serving. |

With the husks on, you get a clean ear, heated through and flavored by the steaming husk. Bare on the grill, gives quite a different taste. It's more "grilled" tasting, with hints of popcorn, I guess resuting from the sugars being carmalized. Cooked with husks on needs less attention. With husks off, you need to stand pretty close as they can get burnt quickly. Enjoy Larry > |

April; As Robert metioned, remove the silk, soak the husks, add a pad of butter and grill. I know some of the butter will drip and burn, maybe its a state of mind thing to add the butter? I have also wrapped shucked and cleaned corn in foil with a pad of butter. Works better when you are cooking for a large crowd. You don't have to watch it quite as close as when wrapped in the husk. Around a 1/3 hour should be a good starting point. Ken -- |

Do nothing else to them. Cook directly, over a medium fire, turning as required, leaves wonderful brown and black grill marks. Brush with melted butter-salt-chili powder and a little lime juice just before plating. Pierre |

Then I wrap them in plastic coated freezer wrap (Reynolds) and freeze. Many moons later, I take a couple out and let them come up to room temperature without unwrapping. When ready to cook, I treat them exactly the same as the Schidt does. Good stuff Maynard. Nearly as good at fresh and a whole lot cheaper in the wintertime. -- Brick(Found a motor..Trying to get it started.) |

You can't plant *any* regular corn nearby or the cross-pollination turns it to field corn. The stuff is WAY sweeter than what you remember fondly because it processes its sugar differently somehow. Anyway it amazed grandpa the first time he tried it, and he was an avid gardener his entire life. Oh, and it stays ripe on the stalk for a couple weeks. I don't think they breed tomatoes any better tasting than before, probably worse. But they are bigger and more tolerant of bugs and rot and such. You can get more heirloom varieties today than in the 70's and 80's. -John O |

An alternate method I've used in the distant past called for striping back the husks, removing the silk, soaking a plain paper towel/napkin in a mixture of milk, salt and pepper (and maybe melted butter?), wrapping the towel around the corn, then pulling the husks back up and cooking. In this (and some of the other techniques), the corn is closer to "steamed in the husk" rather than grilled or roasted. I recall liking it, but it fell off my list (probably because of the time involved and the fact that I like corn steamed- bought and picked on the same day it's cooked less than a mile from home). |

There are as many techniques as there are varieties of corn. When there is time, I like to soak the ears, inside the shucks, in sugar water for about a half hour or more. It seems to make them a tad sweeter, but not a whole lot. You can either pull off the shucks and silk entirely or reserve the shucks around the base to re-wrap the ears when grilling. I recommend this a bit more if you just put on some butter for grilling and keep it simple. One little thing we do occasionally when showing off for company is to get some Pepperidge Farm Italian seasoned croutons. I grind them up in a granite mortar I have until they're about like cracker crumbs. The ears of corn get buttered heavily and then sprinkled with the Italian Crouton crumbs. When I do this, I generally do not re-wrap the shucks around the ears, since that tends to make the crouton crumbs gummy, where direct grilling leaves them toastier and with a much better texture and flavor.

April, After you silk the ears, and before you pull the shucks (that's the south in me talking)back up, wrap a slice of bacon around that bad boy making it look like the old fashioned barber pole.

Corn should be grilled in it's husk over high heat until the husks are browned. Then it should be shucked and peeled back including the silk which is very easy at that point. At that point, it should be dipped in a 3 # coffe can of simmering water topped with 1# of butter. Shake your favorite spice on and eat. Don't badmouth it until you have tried it. |

As far as I'm concerned, there's only one Big Jim here and that's Big Jim Whitten. And he doesn't top post. ;-) -- Nick. Support severely wounded and disabled Veterans and their families! Thank a Veteran and Support Our Troops. You are not forgotten. Thanks ! ! ! |

Like you probably do, I generally just look at the shucks and (occasionally) peel the shuck back to look inside. I have a little probe with a sharp tip and 4 LED's ranging from rare to done. In this case, I poked it into several ears to see what it said. It really isn't that bad an idea, but an experienced person would probably just use judgment. By the time the cob is medium on the inside, the kernels are well on their way to being nicely caramelized. My attitude is "Why use experience when you can use science?" <grin> Nonnymus |
