Can anyone tell me the best way to cook it on the B-B-Q please? In foil ? how long? etc
Many thanks

I normally boil it before hand and then put it on the barbie with some chilli oil and let it get some colour.

Dip them in water, roll them in rock salf and straight on the barbie.

Serve with real butter, not this left wing healthy substitute malarkey, and ground black pepper.

If you can buy fresh from the field with the husk still on, pull all of th ehusk back and remove the silks. Drop the entire ear with husk into a sink of cold (preferably iced) water for about 10 minutes. Remove, salt lightly, add a pat or two of butter per ear and tie the husk back into their normal position with some Butcher's string. Place directly on the hot grill for about 5 minutes and turn once for 5 minutes on the other side. The husks will brown and may even burn slightly at the tips, but nevermind. Remove, pull husks off, eat...

Thanks for your answers. I absolutely love corn on the cob, I get in such a mess when i'm eating it but that's half the fun. On my drive to work I pass about 3 corn fields I might have to pull over and sneak in Clanad and borrow some !

The best Corn on the cobs in my opinion are Tesco Value ones. They still have the husk on and are smaller than the full price ones but this just means they are more tender.

Really good value and taste better than the full price ones.
