{{ :recipes:grilled_corn.jpg?direct&150|}} ====== Grilled Corn ====== /* Description */ Grilling corn sounds like a simple proposition — but our research found dozens of cooking methods for this classic summer vegetable. Turns out, for corn with a distinctly grilled taste and lightly charred kernels, no single technique is perfect. Here’s what we discovered: * Tasters didn’t like the grassy flavor the corn took on when we grilled it in its husk. For the best caramelized, smoky flavor, we recommend grilling the corn husked. * The grill imparts great flavor but can make corn tough and dry. Soaking the husked corn in salted water before grilling keeps the kernels moist and seasons them, too. {(rater>id=100|name=Grilled Corn|type=rate|headline=off)} |**Preheat:** °|**Yield:** 8 servings|| |**Prep:** 0:05|**Wait:** 1:30|**Cook:** 0:14| ====== Ingredients ====== * 8 ears Corn * 1 gallon Water * 1/2 cup Salt * 1/2 cup Sugar (if corn not sweet enough) ====== Directions ====== - Brine corn for 1/2-8 hours - Grill over hot fire, covered, flipping every 2-3 minutes until done and charred, 10-14 minutes - Brush with softened butter ====== Notes ====== /* Nutrition block - remove the slash-asterisk and asterisk-slash from just above and below the following block */ /* ====== Nutrition ====== |Calories (kcal): ||Fat Calories (kcal): |Cholesterol (mg): | |Fat (g): |Saturated Fat (g): |Mono Fat (g): |Poly Fat (g): | |Protein (g): |Carbohydrates (g): |Sodium (mg): |Fiber (g): | */ {{tag>Recipes Grilling-BBQ Side/Vegetable AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry 4★}} /* Recipe Tags - Copy and paste tags from the list below to the tag list in the above line, replacing the "TagsNeeded" tag and separated by spaces. */ /* ---Recipe Types--- Appetizer Beverage Beverage/Cocktail Bread Bread/Biscuit-Roll Bread/Muffin Bread/Quickbread Brines-Marinades-Rubs Breakfast Casserole Canning-Freezing Condiment CrockPot Dessert Dessert/Bar-Brownie Dessert/Cake Dessert/Cake/Frosting Dessert/Candy-Chocolate Dessert/Crisp-Buckle Dessert/Cookie Dessert/Custard-Curd Dessert/IceCream Dessert/IceCream/Topping Dessert/Pie Dessert/Pie/Crust Dip-Spread Entertaining Fondue Grilling-BBQ Side AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry 4★ Holiday Kid-Friendly MainDish MainDish/Beef MainDish/Poultry MainDish/Pork MainDish/Seafood Pasta-Rice Pizza Roast Salad Salad/Dressing Sandwich Sauce-Gravy Seasoning Side AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry 4★ Snack Soup Stew-Braise Stir-Fry Vegetarian ---Recipe Cuisines--- American American/Cajun-Creole American/Southern American/TexMex Asian Asian/Chinese Asian/Indian Asian/Japanese Asian/Korean Asian/Thai Asian/Vietnamese European European/Belgian European/Czech European/Dutch European/English European/French European/German European/Greek European/Polish European/Irish European/Italian European/Portuguese European/Russian European/Scandinavian European/Spanish European/Swiss Latin Latin/Brazilian Latin/Mexican MiddleEastern MiddleEastern/Ethiopian MiddleEastern/Jewish MiddleEastern/Lebanese ---Recipe Sources--- 365Recipes 365Recipes/Grilling 365Recipes/Chicken 365Recipes/Pasta AmericasTestKitchen AmericasTestKitchen/CooksCountry 4★ AmericasTestKitchen/CooksIllustrated BetterHomesGarden Bon Appetit Chowhound FineCooking FoodWine GoodEats Gourmet HDawson AMarcos DMarcos JMarcos KMarcos JPhalen ---Recipe Ratings--- 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1★ No★ ---Recipe Alerts--- RecipeNeeded RecipeIncomplete RecipeWrong RecipeFails TagsNeeded */ ~~DISCUSSION~~
