The No. 1 Thing You Should Be Doing When Making Corn This Summer

Background and History

Grilling corn on the cob is a classic summer tradition, but there’s one game-changing tip that will take your corn to the next level. Let’s explore the technique that will make your corn the star of the summer table.

Ingredients

Fresh corn on the cob

Unsalted butter

Salt and pepper

Optional: Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Serves

Depends on the number of ears of corn and personal preferences.

Time

Instructions

Select Fresh Corn

Choose ears of corn with fresh, green husks and plump, well-formed kernels.

Preheat the Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Husk the Corn

Peel back the husks without removing them entirely. Remove silk and fold the husks back into place.

The No. 1 Tip – Butter Bath

Melt unsalted butter in a pan or microwave. Add a pinch of salt and pepper. Submerge each ear of corn in the butter bath, ensuring even coating.

Grill to Perfection

Place the buttered corn on the preheated grill. Close the lid and turn occasionally until the kernels are tender and slightly charred (about 10-15 minutes).

Optional Garnish

Sprinkle freshly chopped herbs over the grilled corn for an extra burst of flavor.

Adding butter in moderation provides a tasty touch of richness.

Customize the level of char based on personal preference.

Ensure there are no corn allergies.

Be cautious if using any additional ingredients that may trigger allergies.
