Now I’m gonna be honest here about something relating to my cooking skills.

<deep breath>

I suck at BBQ’ing.  I mean I completely understand the logic behind indirect/direct heat, flame adjustment, heat & temp.  I get all that.  But the actual doing… yeah, *sigh*… tis not so pretty.  Well this year I made a vow to really tackle it and own it.  Become the master of the BBQ.  I had my All-Clad BBQ set ready to go, recipes in hand and ancient bbq ready for me.  Yes.. ancient.  I bought this thing like in 1996.  It’s not fancy schmancy nor does the auto ignite switch work. It’s propane that was converted to charcoal that I’m turning back to propane.

So anyway, I bought some gorgeous ears of corn that I was dying to grill (that’s an awesome way to make it!).

However… no propane.  And living in the middle of no-man’s land, it’s often a trek to get this.

Thinking back to a few weeks ago on how I made “hard boiled” eggs in the oven, I figured I’d try baking my corn.

OMG seriously… PHENOMENAL!

I started with this in a preheated oven …

after 30 minutes, I ended up with 3 amazingly delicious oven roasted ears of corn that I think were better than grilled!

Yeah um that part isn’t so pretty…

But this part is…  Just LOOK at those gorgeous succulent kernels of corn!

So when Mr. Fantabulous came out for dinner he was like “Alright!  You grilled corn?  Hey, when’d you get propane?  I thought we were out?” I just smiled, told him I put on my genius hat and found an alternative solution.

I don’t think he really cared how I did it, he just was thrilled that I did it…

This recipe is super super hard so I’m going to apologize now… LOL  Ready? Print

    Forgot to rate this. Also, I grew up on a farm and lived on fresh corn for the 2-3 weeks it was in season and helped my mom put up 200 quarts each summer; yes, 200, we were a family of five and love corn. We still put up that much to spread among the three households. ***Please do not boil your corn! You lose valuable nutrients and flavor. Steam or bake or grill! Also, if you steam, save the “pot liqueur” it it great to use in stocks and soups and adds extra nutrients.

    I am experimenting with delay-start on my oven for baked potatoes (my son has a cross country meet) and my parents are coming to watch and then head to our house to eat and visit awhile. We won’t get home til after noon and didn’t want to wait for the spuds to bake. I also wanted corn. I love grilling it but you have to babysit it. So I thought, hum, I bet you can bake corn in the husk and wallah, I found your blog. Love your wit! Love time-delay. I am bookmarking your site. Thanks for sharing!

    I bought corn for our daughters birthday dinner and was going to just boil it. I saw this the other day and thought I would give it a try. It turned out awesome and I was able to shuck 8 ears in less than 5 minutes and all the silk just basically fell off. Thank you so much!!!

    Did you soak the corn at all?

      Hi Brittni!

      No. It doesn’t dry out or catch fire if you follow the instructions. It’s juicy and sweet.

      Hi Marta,

      Yep! It just pulls right off so much easier than when it’s ‘raw’.

    do you shuck the corn or do you just leave it as is?

    Reply
    1. TKWAdmin

      Hi! No, you literally leave the corn as-is; the way it’s picked off the stock. Leave the husk and all. Then when you’re ready to eat, carefully pull back the husk and dig in!

      Nancy,

      Huh? I said I don’t do what? BBQ? I don’t because my BBQ isn’t working and Mr. Fantabulous and I have been at odds for years over this thing. It’s seen WAY better days. I haven’t touched it (meaning open it) in over a year and I refuse to as God knows what’s living in it. That’s what my husband is for – he can take care of any creep crawly things.

      So yeah since my BBQ wasn’t working (in this case – no propane) I opted to bake it in the oven. The end result was AMAZING! Honestly, it was better than grilled. The flavor was so rich and pure. I’m actually making it today as well.

                This method is the best! Thank you for the suggestion. I cook all my corn like this now. If I am on the grill, i pretty much do the same thing, I just make sure not to burn the leaves.
