Grilled Corn Hacks You Need to Know

Corn on the cob is a summer BBQ favorite, but a few simple tricks can take it from good to unforgettable.

• Soak it first
If grilling in the husk, soak corn in water for 15–30 minutes before grilling. This helps prevent burning and creates steam inside the husk.

• Try it without the husk
For deeper char and smoky flavor, remove the husks and grill directly over medium-high heat.

• Season after grilling
Butter, fresh herbs, lime juice, chili powder, parmesan, or cotija cheese all shine when added while the corn is still hot.

• Don't overcook it
Corn typically needs only 10–15 minutes on the grill. Rotate occasionally for even cooking.

• Think beyond the cob
Cut grilled kernels off and add them to salads, tacos, salsas, risottos, and pasta dishes.

Summer is short. Make every ear of corn count.
