Notes
Grilled Corn on the Cob: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush husked corn with olive oil or melted butter. Grill directly on the grates, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until lightly charred. Season as desired. Pro tip: Grill with the husk on after soaking in water for 10–15 minutes to keep it moist.
Microwave Corn on the Cob: Leave the husks on and trim any excess silk. Microwave for 3–4 minutes per ear. Let it cool slightly, then peel back the husk and enjoy!
