Cooking Corn On The Cob
Posted by terrepruitt on September 19, 2018
Not too long ago I posted a question on Facebook. I asked how people cooked corn on the cob. I shuck mine then roll them in aluminum foil and cook them in the oven.

Corn On The Cob
two cobs of corn
aluminum foil
butter
Preheat the oven to 450° F. Peel the husk off of each corn cob, also, try to remove all of the silk. Then wash the corn. Place the corn in a piece of aluminum foil with some butter. Roll the cob up in the foil. Put the corn in the middle of the rack with the rack set to the middle of the oven. Cook for about 60 minutes.
Take the corn out of the oven and let cool at least 20 minutes. Butter and salt, then serve.

I don’t like to have the silk in my teach so I try to remove it all before I cook it. I also rinse the corn off because often times the husk is dirty and I sometimes get dirt on my hands and then handle the corn. I also rinse it off because I like to have a little bit of moisture in the foil wrapping when it is cooking. My husband prefers his corn is cooked in the butter, whereas I like to put the butter on mine after it is cooked. So with his piece I put in a tablespoon or two of butter and with mine I kind of just rub some butter on. Just enough to give it a little fat to cook with.
I know this is a long time to cook, but we like it. It just take planning. I have to remember to put it on at least an hour before we want to eat it. It has worked out good the last two times that I cooked it, I cooked it an hour and a half before we wanted to eat so it was able to cook and cool before we ate.
I planned on posting about it, so I took pictures of the prep, but by the time it was cooked I had forgotten and didn’t take any more pictures. But I am sure you know what cooked corn on the cob looks like.
How do you cook your corn on the cob?
