I'm a corn on the cob snob. Usually, I won't buy it until the local stuff is ready, and I have to buy it at the farm. Means I don't eat it often.
But when I do get some, I drop it in boiling water (with a sprinkle of sugar in it) for no more than 6 minutes. Perfect! Tender, juicy, and bursting with corn flavor.
However, supermarket corn was only 19 cents an ear this week, so I decided to try grilled corn for the first time.
Wanted to try an easy technique, which wouldn't mask the flavor. So, I did this one http://www.food.com/recipe/super-simple-grilled-corn-on-the-cob-no-foil-no-husks-245576?photo=92826
Could not be easier! Used a friend's gas grill.
It was good - strong corn flavor, nice char flavor, too. Most people would love it.
But nothing can beat steamed, fresh corn.
