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!!
