YES!!! it won't turn out well if you don't.

If you want corn kernels then it is a lot easier to cut when it is cold before you cook it.

There is no set way of doing it though.

Does the weight of corn make more bushels of corn?

Heavier corn ears does not translate into more ears or even more kernels. Weight has nothing to do with the amount or measurement of the corn or kernel and is caused by the density of the corn itself and the moisture content in the kernel, cob and husk. If you were to weigh 6 cobs of corn of similar length and then husk and take the kernel from the cob you would end up with closely the same amount of corn per cob.

How CAN I cook sweet corn?

If you are talking corn on the cob- Do not remove the husk. Soak in water whole for an hour. I wrap it in foil; I guess you don't have to. Throw it on the BBQ on a med low heat. The moisture in the husk steams the corn. It does take me a couple of hours this way. or If you want the BBQ flavor but want to get it faster. Boil the husked corn in water containing salt and sugar until the kernels are tender then throw it on the BBQ for just a few minutes. Make sure to rotate it. *** If you can, use hickory or mesquite wood chip. Great flavor!!

How long do you roast corn?

depends on how hot the grill is and if you grill the corn on the cob then leave it in it's husk, this will allow the water vapor to stay inside, and they will have to be almost constantly turned like every 2 minutes(this is not an exact science if you think it should be turned sooner by all mans do so before that corn starts to pop). If they start making popcorn then you've grilled it for too long. Jokes aside it can take 15-30 minutes pending the amount of corn, you will have to check one of the cobs if it is finished after about 15 minutes if some of the kernels have gotten a little singed it's okay, they are a little caramelized, but still tasty. Good Luck
