I was taught by my Grandaddy when they still had
Ice Boxes! He'd put his fresh picked corn in the ice box for a couple of hours, start a fire in the fire pit,
and throw enough ears of corn on for everyone.
He never soaked them in water nor peel the husk
and remove the silk (part of the corn, he'd say, adds to the flavor) but keep rolling them around
on the grill every five minutes or so... yes, some
of the outer husks will burn. Keep turning and
cooking for 30 to 45 minutes. Take them off the
grill, let sit for about 5 minutes, then wrap them in
a dishtowel and snap off the stalk part first and
de-husk. The silk and husk just dropped off!
Butter and salt to taste and mmm-mmm good!
