I have always boiled the hell out of corn on the cob.... when I was in the

grocery the other day they had a sign that said you only have to boil it for

4min. I tried it, it seemed raw to me. they also had a sign that said 15min.

on the grill for roasted corn - has anyone done this? we soaked it for an hour

and roasted it for more like 20min. and it was raw tasting, hard.

any suggestions?

I don't know about the boiling thing but when my Dad use to grill corn it

seemed like he kept them on a good 30 minutes or so. Another good way to

fix them is to brush some melted butter on the corn, wrap them in

aluminum foil and place them underneath the coals before the fire is

started. Cook them that way about 30 minutes to an hour. I personally

prefer them a little dark golden brown when they are cooked that way. It

is yummy.

Raw corn, if it's fresh, is the opposite of hard - it's exquisitely tender!

There are few things better than eating raw corn on the cob while standing

in the garden next to the stalk you picked it from. Juicy, sweet, tender -

mmmmmmmmmmmm... of course, it also depends on the variety of corn; some are

sweeter than others.

If your corn was tough, it was probably either not very fresh, or cooked too

long on the grill. While overcooking in boiling water will make corn mushy,

overgrilling can toughen it.
