Grilled corn on the cob is one of the summer's best treats. Turning out a batch that's perfectly grilled doesn't have to be a challenge. Follow this advice for easy grilling.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Peel back the husks of the corn and remove the silks. Fold the husks back up over the kernels.
Grill for 5-10 minutes to steam the corn.
Peel the husks back again, and spread the butter or olive oil over the tender kernels.
Season with salt and pepper. Increase the grill to high heat (though if you are working with a charcoal grill and this is time-consuming, you can do the next step at medium-high heat as well).
Put the unwrapped corn back on the grill to char, cooking for about 1 minute per side.
