This is pretty much the way I grill corn, except that I don't bother to tie the ends with twine and soak them in a kitchen sink full of ice water, weighed down with a heavy plate. I don't test for doneness by the way the husks char. I just test one kernel on the corn to see if it is done. And usually I cook on lower heat with meats etc., and the husks don't char so much anyway, if they are soaked properly. Thanks for posting! Great recipe!

I am a wife and mom of 2 vibrant little boys. They love to create and cook in the kitchen... I love their curiosity and willingness to try new foods and techniques as I introduce them.
I love to cook... always have. Thanks to my father for this culinary passion! While I am addicted to collecting cookbooks, my dad taught me to experiment in the kitchen and gave me the gift of knowing that creative cooking doesn't have to come from a book.
