Pro Tips for Corn

For incredibly juicy, smoky corn, try grilling it right in its husk! Soak the unhusked cobs in water for 15 minutes first, then grill directly over medium heat, turning occasionally, until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender, pure summer magic!

Did You Know...

Did you know you can get extra flavor and sweetness from your corn cobs after cutting off the kernels? Just run the back of your knife down the cob to “milk” it, extracting a starchy, sweet liquid perfect for adding to soups or even polenta, talk about no waste magic!

The Perfect Finish

The easiest way to take your grilled corn to the next level is with a little flavored butter. Simply mix softened butter with finely chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, a pinch of chili flakes for a kick, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Slather it on the hot corn for an instant upgrade.

A final, helpful tip? When buying corn, always peel back the husk a little to check for plump, bright yellow kernels—this is the secret to getting the sweetest cobs!
