Grilled sweet corn on the cob is a summer classic, offering a smoky, caramelized flavor that enhances its natural sweetness. Whether you prefer to grill your corn in its husk, wrapped in foil, or directly over the flame, this guide will help you achieve perfectly grilled corn every time.

1. Choose Fresh Corn

The quality of the corn determines how juicy and sweet it will taste after grilling.

What to Look For:

  • Husks: Fresh green husks that tightly wrap the cob.
  • Silk: Golden-brown, slightly sticky silk indicates freshness.
  • Kernels: Feel through the husk to ensure plump, evenly spaced kernels.

2. Prepare the Corn

How you prepare your corn depends on the grilling method you choose.

Option 1: Grill in the Husk

  • Pull back the husks without removing them and strip away the silk.
  • Fold the husks back over the cob and soak the corn in water for 15-20 minutes to prevent burning.

Option 2: Grill Naked (Direct Heat)

  • Remove the husks and silk completely.
  • Brush the corn with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking.

Option 3: Wrap in Foil

  • Remove the husks and silk.
  • Wrap each cob in aluminum foil with a pat of butter and your choice of seasonings.

3. Forvarm grillen

  • Gas Grill: Preheat to medium-high heat (375°F-400°F).
  • Charcoal Grill: Wait until the coals are covered with white ash for consistent heat.
  • Arteflame Grill: Light three paper towels soaked in vegetable oil. Stack the wood over top of it and prepare your food. The grill will be ready when you are.

Pro tips: Rengjør ristene før du griller etter best mulig resultat.

Grilling metoder:

I skallet:

  • Place the corn directly on the grill over medium heat.

Naken (direkte varme):

  • Place the corn on the grates and grill for 10-12 minutes.
  • Turn every 2-3 minutes for even charring.
  • Brush with butter or oil as it cooks to enhance flavor.

I folie:

  • Lay the wrapped corn on the grill and cook for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  • Carefully unwrap and serve immediately.

5. Legg til krydder og pålegg

Elote i meksikansk stil:
