Such a great way to do grilled corn! Love this recipe for summer!
Yum! I love this recipe – so simple, but so tasty! Next time I’m trying it with Asiago. Great suggestion!
the corn looks FANTASTIC !!
Thank you 🙂
On the recipe list you say olive oil on the directions list you say corn oil?
It’s olive oil. Thanks for pointing that out…I fixed it 🙂
Ummm…. No.. First of all, fresh corn will not cook fully in ten minutes on grill. Cooked ones, yes… Second, the corns in this picture look awful. It is covered with soot probably as a result of flare up. Whether you use butter or olive oil, it will flare up if you baste the whole corn with it . Here is better way. First, leave the husk on and cook in microwave oven. Three corns will take about ten minutes. Husk seals the stream in and cook the corn. Second, DO NOT PUT ANY OIL OR BUTTER on it when you put it on the grill. Take a whole stick of butter and rub the top of the corn. Butter will melt down to the bottom side of the corn gradually and more importantly in small yet sufficient quantity. This will prevent flare up. Wait few min, turn the corn , butter the top side again. And repeat.
Thanks for the feedback and the tip. All of the recipes I share on my blog are made by me and eaten by my family. So, in this case, yes, the corn was cooked through. I make it this way exactly all the time. I’m sorry you think they look awful. We, however, prefer to have some grill marks (not soot) on our corn when we grill it.
I agree with you Christina that the ears are cooked enough. I like my corn to have a fresh taste which is easily lost if over cooked. It is a matter of taste though. Some people enjoy corn cooked until it changes color and taste. As some like their green beans cooked tender crisp and others want it mushy.
I am sorry Jake was so rude to you, I think the photo looks delicious. It is so easy for people to be inconsiderate when dealing with faceless strangers in the Web.
Thanks for the support, Ron 🙂
i love to grill summer squash
My favorite veggie to grill is corn. Thank you for the chance to win!
Nothing is better than summer corn!
I never would have thought to add Worcestershire to my corn! I love ALL kinds of grilled veggies. My husband is a farmer and we just picked some sweet corn so I’d say right now CORN is our favorite thing to grill. Especially when it’s fresh off the farm!
This corn looks so yummy! We love grilling. My favorite veggie to grill is zucchini. I love the angled pastry brush perfect for grilling. & thanks for the chance btw.
That looks delicious!!
Nothing says summer liked grilled corn!
We grill corn on the bbq all the time – it’s my favourite way of doing it! Love the tip on mixing the butter with corn oil – will give it a try.
My favourite other veggie to grill is zucchini. I love the grill marks.
I love all grilled vegetables but I think my favorite would also be corn. Carol
I love grilled corn….and it is in season right now! Love the combination parmesan and garlic too! My mouth is watering 🙂
My favorite veggie to grill is asparagus. The trick is to get the big fat stems toward the end of the season, because the skinny, tender ones wilt.
I like to grill corn.
I love to grill kale and pineapple in addition to meat!
I love to grill red peppers.
For the crock pot chicken. Do you cook the crust in the crock pot? If so, for how long?
Thanks for your great recipe ideas.
