Steamed Corn on the Cob on the Grill


1. Carefully pull down the corn's husk, leaving it attached to the corn cob.
2. Remove the silk and then carefully place the husks back up onto the corn cob.
3. Wrap in aluminum foil--this keeps husk from burning and increases the steaming quality.
4. Place directly on grill (the outer edge works well to avoid burning)
5. Turn every few minutes until corn kernels brighten in color and appear plump. Takes about 15 minutes. When it's done, slather on the butter and salt.
If you have the opportunity, make a cumin-lime butter, or an herb butter. Delicious!
This is not the way I usually do corn on the cob, but it is a nice way to do it if you are grilling something else, and want to avoid steaming up the kitchen--it is kind of a pain to take all the silk out yet retain an intact husk, but if you have guests, this is a task that can be assigned to anyone.
