Grilled Corn
This is our preferred method for preparing corn when grilling. It's easy, more so when grilling other parts of the meal. Grilling the corn gives it a flavor that complements the remainder of a grilled meal. Originally served as part of: Sandwiches on the Grill.
- Microwave Corn (July 4, 2003)
Ingredients
- 4 ears corn
- to taste butter
- to taste salt & pepper
Instructions
We shuck the corn while the grill is preheating to medium low heat.
We place the corn directly on the grill. We have to rotate the corn often to prevent the corn from blackening or popping. Once the corn is cooked on all sides, we remove from direct heat.
We serve with butter, salt & pepper.

What's a kid job?
A Kid job is a step kids can help with, with a grown-up nearby, not one they do on their own. Every kid is different, so go by what your child can do rather than by age. Roughly:
- Little ones (about 2 to 4) can stir, pour in ingredients a grown-up has measured, tear lettuce, wash vegetables and sprinkle toppings.
- Older kids (about 5 to 8) can also measure and level, crack eggs, whisk, roll and cut out dough, and put things together.
- Bigger kids can read the recipe aloud, keep track of the timer, and take on more of the cooking as they're ready.
Steps with a knife, microplane, skewers, stove, oven, grill or hot oil, or with raw meat, poultry or seafood, are marked Grown-up. Kids can still watch those, from a safe distance.
Kid job
Shuck the corn.
Grown-up
Heat the grill to medium-low. Set the corn right on the grates and turn it often so it doesn’t blacken or pop. When cooked on all sides, move it off direct heat.
Serve with butter, salt and pepper.
