Notes

  • Picking out the perfect corn: Look for ears with tight green husks and golden brown, slightly sticky tassels (the hairy bit at top). Feel the ear for plump kernels. Avoid any brownish, crackers husks or dry tassels.
  • Carefully remove the corn from the grill: When it’s time to remove the corn on the cob in foil, please be very careful. The corn will be very hot and steamy.
