Step 2: If you want corn with a smoky flavor, cook it on a grill.

Cut off silk that's sticking out of each ear of corn and peel off the outer layers of the husk.Then, throw the cobs onto the grill.You need to cook the corn for 5 minutes before turning it.They are nice and charred if you grill them for 5 more minutes.Before you serve them, let them sit on the serving plate for a few minutes.It has been said that you should soak your corn in salty water before grilling it.If you're grilling older corn or the husks are starting to dry out, you don't have to do this.

Step 3: For a hands-off cooking method, preheat the oven to 350 F.

preheat your oven if you don't have a grill or want an easy way to cook corn.Carefully place as many ears of corn as you please on the oven rack.Put the corn in the oven for 30 minutes and then take them out.The roasted corn can be shucked before you serve it.

Step 4: For the fastest way to cook corn, put 1 ear into the microwave.

You don't need to shuck the corn first, just cook it in the microwave for 3 to 4 minutes.Take the hot corn out of the microwave with an oven mitt.Take the husk off the corn before you eat it.If you want to cook 2 ears of corn in the microwave, you should add 1 to 2 minutes to the cooking time.

Step 5: You can cook up to 8 ears of corn in the pressure cooker.

For a quick way to make corn on the cob, pour 1 2 cups of water into an Instant Pot and put the rack in it.Put the ears of corn on the rack.Close the cooker and secure it.The corn should be cooked for 4 minutes in the cooker.To get steamed corn out of your cooker, open it and use tongs.It's easy to accidentally burn yourself when your pressure cooker is releasing steam.

Step 6: Cook corn in a skillet to get a crisp texture.

Take 4 ears of corn and boil them for 5 minutes.Add the corn cobs to the skillet with the vegetable oil and cook for a few minutes.Cook them for 2 minutes and then turn them a few times.After brushing them, cook them for 3 more minutes.1 clove of garlic, 1/3 cup (33 g) of shredded Parmesan cheese, and 2 grams of ground cumin are included in the mix.

Step 7: Corn that has incredible flavor can be cooked to a temperature of 250 F.

2 hours before you're ready to cook, peel back the husks and then rip out the silk, but don't pull it off.The cobs should be soaked in cool water for 2 hours.The wood chips should be soaked in a separate bowl of water for 30 minutes.When you're ready to smoke, arrange the corn cobs in a single layer in your old-school smoker and add the wood chips.If you want to tenderize the ears, smoke the corn for about an hour.Are you using a fancy pellet smoker?Put shucked corn on the cob on your pellet grill and turn it on to 350 F.If you set the timer for 20 minutes, your corn will come out perfectly smoked.If you're smoking large ears of corn, they need an extra 15 minutes in the smoker.

Step 8: You can cook corn cobs in the fire with their husks.

You can rip the silk from 3 corn cobs if you peel back the husks.Wrap the husks with a piece of string.The corn cobs should be soaked in water for at least 15 minutes.Push the coals to one side of the grill grate and lay 3 ears of corn on the ground.Put the corn in a bag and roast it for 10 minutes.If you want to cook more corn, put 3 more ears on the other side of the grill.When the corn is brown in color, it's done.

Step 9: If you want to use your cooker, vacuum seal corn on the cob.

You can cook perfectly cooked corn by heating a water bath to 183 F.Put up to 4 ears of corn in a bag.When you remove the air from the bag, lower the corn into the water and weigh it down with a skillet.The water bath has corn in it.If you want to make more corn, you can fill another vacuum-seal bag and cook the two bags of corn at the same time.Do you want to season your corn?No problem at all!Before you vacuum seal it, put a few pieces of butter and salt in the bag.
