I soak my corn in water with the husk on for at least 30 minutes then grill with the husk still on and it comes out great! 🌽 😋

The best way is to cook it is to leave in it the husk and chuck it in the microwave for 4ish minutes. It’s perfect and easy peasy. But the second best way is to gently cook it in on the stove a milk and butter bath 🥰

If you are making LOTS for corn for a picnic or party, prep the corn, put it in a cooler, cover it in boiling water and then head to your event. Should be perfect when you get there. A.K.A. Cooler Corn.

This has to be cooked with fresh not frozen corn, they need to differentiate.

I do this for only 3 minutes. Then transfer to grill with smoke from peeled husk leaves which also reduces direct-fire burn.

The gentler way is to steam, not boil

This is the best method! I have been doing this for a few years and the corn always comes out perfectly.

10 mins or 30 mins is quite a disparity.

or you could just ✨️steam it✨️1/2" water in the bottom of the pan, bring to a boil, put the corn in, cover and cook for 7 minutes. take off the heat and leave covered until you're ready to eat it. perfect every time.

Can you please compare the difference between this method and microwaving? I just get lazy sometimes and not sure how microwave method compares to this in the final product.

Micro. 2 min per ear. Clean the corn, put on microwave safe plate. Make sure moist. Cover with plastic wrap, cook. So easy and they are perfect every time.

I’ve found leaving the corn in the husk and microwaving it for 4 mins per ear comes out perfectly.
