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…
Baked Corn on the Cob.. yes, IN THE OVEN!!!

We have done this for years and really enjoy it so glad you do too
I’ve always done mine on the grill. Wanted to try in the oven.
When I do mine, I always soak the ears in water for a couple hours prior. Did you soak yours before you put them in the oven?
★★★★★
No, never soaked. They become too water laden,

The corn I bought only has half the husk on, does it come out the same?
Hi Kilah,
Can you clarify what you mean by only half the husk on. Are all of the kernels covered from end to end or do you mean that say the silk was removed and the husk push back up in place?

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.

Amen girl! No boiling ever!!! Wow! 200 quarts!!! That’s incredible!

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!
Thank you so much!!! Oh good luck to your son on his meet! This is the only way I’ll make corn.
Best Kitchen Wishes!
