Grilled corn on the cob

A lovely way to cook whole corn on the cob (sweetcorn).

Toasting the sweet corn adds a lovely flavour which I've done by using a blowtorch. This can be achieved using a very hot frying pan too.

Stripping sweetcorn from the cob with a knife

Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 1 fresh corn on the cob
• A knob of butter
• A pinch of sea salt

Mise en place

• If using a frying pan or griddle pan, pre heat this while the sweet corn is being prepared.

Method

1. If the sweetcorn cob has a leaves and silk ( is the name for the pistillate flowers), remove them first.
2. Soak for 4 minutes in cold water.
3. Microwave for 2 minutes
4. If using a hot pan to finish them, pat them dry, once the pan is very hot, add them to the pan, without any oil and toast them for 4 minutes turning regularly with tongs.
5. If using a blowtorch, place the corn cob in a dry frying pan and toast the kernels while turning the cob with tongs. This only takes 20 seconds and is very easy to overdo it with a good blowtorch.

Serving suggestions

Serve with butter and a pinch of salt.

Chef's notes

To strip the kernels from the cob, hold with a tea-towel if it's very hot and cut downwards with a knife.
