There are many options when it comes to preparing corn on the cob, including steaming, boiling, baking and grilling. Grilling the corn produces a barbecue flavor but it is not always possible to grill the corn due to bad weather. If this happens, you can take advantage of your broiler to achieve a similar taste. It is important, however, that you use the broiler correctly to avoid an unnecessary fire. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
1. Remove and discard the husks and silk strands from the ears of corn.
2. Fill a large pot with cold water and soak the corn for one hour.
3. Drain the water from the pot and set the corn cobs on sheets of aluminum foil. The sheets must be big enough to wrap around the corn.
4. Pour 1 tbsp. melted butter in a mixing bowl. Add 1/8 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. black pepper, 1/2 tsp. garlic powder and 1/2 tsp. of Parmesan cheese. Stir until combined.
5. Preheat the broiler to high. While the broiler is heating up, brush the contents of your mixing bowl over the ears of corn. Finish wrapping the corn in the aluminum foil.
6. Set the corn under the broiler for four minutes. Flip the aluminum foil packet over and cook another four minutes. Remove and serve hot.
