FAQ:

How long should I grill corn on the cob? 

Grilling time for corn on the cob can vary depending on your grill’s heat and the ears’ size. Generally, it should take 10-15 minutes to grill corn on the cob, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. To test for doneness, pierce a kernel with a fork; it should be tender but still slightly firm.

How do I keep the corn from sticking to the grill? 

Oil the grates before cooking to keep your corn from sticking to the grill. You can also brush oil or butter onto the corn before grilling.

Can I grill corn on the cob in the husk? 

Yes! Grilling corn on the cob in the husk is a great way to steam the kernels and infuse them with flavour. Soak the ears of corn in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent the husks from catching fire.
