We use a fairly large piece of thinish sheet steel over a hot bed of hardwood coals piled hgih with corn still in their husks covered with soaked burlap bags. Burlap imparts a nice flavor not found in other methods. Now THAT is INTERESTING!
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

1. Soak ears of corn in water for 10 minutes and then put the corn on medium frill in the husk and silk. Turn frequently and grill it in the husk for about 15-20 minutes.
2. Remove from grill and with a sharp knife cut off the bottom, just above the stalk.
3. Using gloves, twist/wring the corn in the husk to release silk.
4. Grab the top of the husk/silks and shake it.
5. Beautiful grilled corn on the cob falls out into your hand clean as a whistle. No shucking Going to have to try this one sometime. The thing I like about my method is it's husked, buttered (OK, oiled) and seasoned soon as it comes off the grill. Simply remove foil and eat. I love hearing it fry in the oil. Maybe here in an hour or two when I get around to cooking I will use butter and not olive oil in honor of this thread!

I don't eat the stuff. Last night I grilled burgers and boiled two ears for my wife and son. If they want it different they can do so.

trim both ends, take off about half of the sucks, soak in water for 20 minutes, wrap in foil and grill or oven bake.
Use dish towel to shuck, most all of the silk comes off no problem......
peaches n cream, silver queen, butter and pepper, very little salt needed, IMHO

Boiled with a bit of salt and butter. But the majority of corn from our garden gets blanched, quenched in ice water, then cut off the cob and frozen in quart bags. We (four families including our kids and grandkids) enjoy it all year long just as much as fresh. ^^^^This^^^^

Soaked in cold water for 30 minutes, husk and all. Then 30 minutes on the grill. It's basically steamed with a charcoal flavor. Very simple and very good.

The very best for my taste is grilled slowly in the husk over coals. Second best is wrapped in foil, in the husk, and buried in the coals of a campfire for 15-20 minutes, less for a really hot bed of coals. Totally cover from contact with air or the uncovered section will scorch.
The fastest and only way we do corn in our kitchen is microwaved in the husk for 3-4 minutes depending on size of the ear. I stop and turn it over once at 2 minutes.

Try this and thank me later.
You can grill it or microwave it for about 3 mins per ear in the husk. When it's done, let it set for a minute or 5 and then cut the ear clear through @ the stem end where it's at its widest point. Grab the corn by the point of the husk, work the corn out like you were milking a cow.
You'll end up with no silk, no pile of husk and delicious ready to eat corn.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

In our house it's either soaked and grilled or boiled.
If boiled it's 1/2 water and 1/2 milk, throw a whole stick of butter in the water and add some fresh chopped garlic and rosemary to the water. Boil 10 minutes and let sit for 5-10. You will get a buttery ear of corn with a slight garlic and rosemary flavor to it. Sure crowd pleaser at our bbq's

We keep it simple and just boil it. Eat it with butter or margarine and Velveeta-type cheese. Been so wet, I haven't got any in this year. May plant some tomorrow before the storms roll in. Tomatoes went in today.

If it requires more than boiling and butter/salt/pepper then it's a waste of both effort and corn.
(Just my opinion of course)

IMO the best way is roasted in the shuck on the grill...bout 30 - 45 minutes. Shuck and silk just comes right off.

I soak 'em in water, husks intact, for 15-30 minutes. Place on high heat grill & turn until husks get evenly slightly charred appx 1/2 hr. Remove and husk ears and put butter, salt, etc to liking.
-Ken
P.S. Soaking a couple ears now!

I prefer it raw, no butter or salt. Pick it, shuck it, eat it.
I am very much In the minority with this method.
