A reader suggested grilled corn.
Our older granddaughter, of Mexican descent, suggested elotes.
Pick the video you want to watch: elotes.
There are at least five ways to prepare corn on the cob:
- microwave: four minutes
- boil on stove: once the water is boiling, ten minutes
- bake in oven: 45 to 60 minutes (wow)
- grill with husks: 15 to 20 minutes
- grill without husks: probably about the same as with husks
I will never, never, never go back to any other method to cook corn on the cob -- cumbersome to say that -- let's just say: elotes -- except on the grill if the grill is available.
We did elotes on the grill last night and they turned out incredibly delicious and it appears foolproof.
Key: soaking corn in water for one hour before grilling
The corn was on the covered grill for a total of 20 minutes:
- seven minutes with one end over direct heat; one end over indirect heat
- the next eight minutes, turn and reverse (the other end over direct heat, etc)
- then, one last turn for the last five minutes
If one likes a bit of charred corn, remove the husk before cooking.
I would not use aluminum foil; it's just one more unnecessary step. And I didn't do a thing to prepare the corn before grilling except to soak the ears in water (so prep time, as far as I am concerned, is zero minutes).
Meanwhile, our older granddaughter put out the ingredients for Mexican street vendor elotes and explained how to "fix" the corn:
- ingredients
- mayonnaise (or butter for those who prefer butter); squeeze bottle for each is nice;
- Cotija cheese (a good substitute: feta cheese; our older granddaughter says parmesan is fine)
- Tajin seasoning
- Valentina hot sauce
- lime juice / sliced limes
- brush mayonnaise or butter on the corn
- sprinkle / drizzle with the other ingredients to taste
Well, perhaps the best "Bakken" oil blog. LOL. Thank you for all your feedback over the years.
