How to Cook Corn on the Fire
Corn on the cob brings the taste of summer to any meal. Cooking corn over a fire gives a different taste than the boiling water method. You can grill the corn on the cob or cook it directly over the fire and achieve the same sweet taste. Corn is a great addition to a meal when camping or a summer barbecue. By leaving the husk on the corn you will have a perfectly cooked tender corn on the cob.
Things You'll Need
- Corn on the cob
- Grill or campfire
- Aluminum foil
- Tongs
Campfire Cooking
-
Soak the corn inside the husk in water for 15 minutes. This will keep the corn from burning.
-
Light the campfire while the corn is soaking. You can use wood or charcoal for the fire.
-
Place the corn directly on the fire. Watch the corn closely, turning occasionally. The outside of the husk will become darker but the steam will cook the corn inside.
-
Remove the corn from the fire using tongs or an oven mitt and set aside to cool for a few minutes.
-
Remove the corn husk and eat the roasted corn directly off the cob.
Grilled Corn
-
Wrap the corn, still in its husk, in aluminum foil and start your grill. If using a grill with a lid, close the lid so the grill will heat evenly.
-
Place the corn on the grill and close the lid. Allow the corn to cook on the grill for 45 minutes. Turn the corn every 10 to 15 minutes.
-
Remove the wrapped corn from the grill and place on a plate. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
-
Take the aluminum foil off the corn, peel off the husk and serve.
