Grilled Corn
To cook corn on the cob, you can steam it, microwave it, boil it, or grill it. To grill, soak the ears in cold water before grilling (leaving the husks on). Then place the corn on a hot grill and close the lid. Turn the ears every 5 minutes until the husks are charred, then remove from the heat, husk, and serve!
