Grilled Corn

Whether it is a side dish for hamburgers or part of a salsa, grilled corn is the essence of summertime. Here are a few grilling tips that will make your corn delicious:

- First soak the corn in salt water for 15 minutes. The ensures that the corn will not burn when it is on the grill.

- Remove the inner husks and silk linings. Peal the outer husks back like a banana and remove the inner linings. Refold the outer husks over the corn and twist the top. This allows for the corn to steam within the husk.

- Grill the corn on a medium/medium-low heat for 20-25 minutes. If you grill it at too high of a temperature, you will sear the corn.

- When you take the corn off the grill, season it with salt and butter. You don't have to douse the corn in butter to get the great taste. Just brush it!
