Summer Grilling Know-How

With a little planning and know-how, it's easy to use your grill to add depth of flavor to a variety of dishes that weren't always considered standard grilling fare. Caesar salad, summer veggies, fresh shrimp and corn on the cob all benefit from that subtle, smoky flavor, and we have recipes and tips for each.

Six Easy Steps For Delicious Grilled Corn

Prepare the corn for grilling by soaking the ears in their husks in cool water for 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to a medium-high temperature (about 400°F).
Peel back the husks to about 2/3 of the way down the length of each cob to expose the kernels. Remove as much of the silk as you can and discard.
Brush the kernels with a little vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Re-cover the corn with the husks and arrange the ears in a single layer on the grill.
Cover and grill for 12 to 15 minutes, turning each several times to ensure even cooking.
To serve, pull the husks back all the way to expose the entire cob (or remove completely) and brush with melted butter.
