Preparation

Step 1

Heat your grill to medium. Pull the outer husks down each ear to the stalk end. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold the husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 Tbsp of salt for 10 minutes. Remove the corn from the water and shake off the excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks from the cobs before eating the corn.

To Remove Corn Kernels From the Cob
Stand the cob upright on its stalk end in a large bowl or pan. Hold the tip with your fingers and cut down the sides of the corn with a sharp paring knife, releasing the kernels without cutting into the cob. Run the dull edge of the knife down the naked cob to release any remaining corn and liquid.
