No, it is not necessary to soak corn in water first.
To husk corn by hand, pull away the outer leaves until there is only one layer of leaves remaining on the ear. Then, pull back the last layer of leaves to expose the tip of the corn. Next, gather all leaves in one hand and pull them to the bottom of the ear.
Once you can see the kernels, gather all of the silky tassel remaining on the corn, and pull them down the corn in one movement. Finally, remove the leaves and the tassels by firmly grasping them at the bottom of the ear and breaking them away from the cob

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 🙂

Nothing is better than summer corn!

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?
