How to Prepare Corn on the Cob with Husks for Grilling
Corn on the cob is a popular dish, especially during the summer. Cooking it with the husks on is a simple and effective method. This technique involves roasting corn over a fire or grill without using foil. The husks protect the corn and add flavour. Soaking the corn beforehand prevents the husks from burning. Each ear of corn serves one person.
