How do you fix your corn on the cobb?

[Columbia Craw]

Always boiled.

Butter and sea salt.

Butter and garlic salt.

Mayonnaise and pepper flakes

Butter mixed with Sweet Baby Ray’s applied with a pastry brush.

 

I’m ready for ideas.

 

Add on.  Try squeezing fresh lime juice on watermelon.

Leave a few shucks on and microwave. Quick and easy. Add salt and butter.

Love corn on the cob. I like to boil it, cut off the cob, and have it with fresh tomatoe slices.  Put some butter on it after you cut it off the cob. I also like it wrapped in foil, and cooked over low heat on a bar b que grill.

Grilled whole in the husk. Pull or trim the hair on the open end, soak in cold water for about 15 mins then grill for about 20 mins direct medium, turning every 5 mins or so.

Fresh from the garden...... boiled, grilled and low country broil, fantastic.

[DitchPanda]

drizzle it with olive oil and grill til desired level of char..rub with butter then sprinkle with kosher salt,black pepper and cayenne 

[MN Fisher]

Steam it, then strip it off the cob...my teeth aren't what they use to be...drizzle a little melted butter and a dash of kosher salt.

I’ve cooked it many different ways depending on where I was . My favorite is boiled, microwave is convenient, grilled is good. Aluminum foil on campfire coals, heck I’ve just eaten it raw a few times 

[roadwarrior]

Three minutes in boiling water.

[Big Rick]

Roll it in buttermilk, then roll it in Louisiana style cornmeal fish fry until completely coated. Deep fry it in peanut oil until the cornmeal is brown and crispy. Corn is a starch and isn't the best veggie for health anyway, so I cook it for taste not health.....

Carefully peel the husk down a leaf at a time, de-silk the ear, pull the husk back up peel off a outer leaf, tear the leaf into 1/2" strips.  Tie the 1/2" strip around the top of the ear maybe a couple of inches down.  Put it on the grill for fifteen minutes or so rotating a couple of times.  Peel the husk off, butter, salt and pepper.

Absolutely the best!

for good, fresh summer corn its just boil until tender (about 6 minutes) and salt/butter.  I love most of the other options above at other times, but with good fresh corn there is nothing like butter and salt.

[Choporoz]

Husk it and throw on grill, high heat.  Take off when some kernels blackened.  Butter generously, salt lightly.

Buttered and grilled with a coating of this: 

After trying this I won’t have corn on the cob any other way. 

[Kev-mo]

Mostly microwave it. Leave the husk and cook about 2.5 min per ear. Give it a few minutes before peeling because it will be steaming and hot as.... bleep. Used to be butter salt and pepper. Now it's mayo and the above mentioned Everything but the Elote seasoning from Trader Joe's.

i take fresh corn and drop it into hot boiling water just to warm thru.

 

i like it plain.  no butter, no salt.    i'd go as far as to say buttering corn sucks.  hahaha.. i cant stand chasing that cold square of butter around a corn cob.  

[Jig Man]

Cut the husks around the base all the way through then  into a corn sack and microwave 4 minutes.  When it comes out I can give the husks a twist, pull them forward and the silk will come off inside the husks.  Then it is ready for what ever you want to put on it.  Personally I don’t want anything as I like it plain.  

[BrianMDTX]

Shuck it and boiled. Husk on and grilled. Either way is great. 
 

Butter a piece of white bread and roll the cob in it to coat it evenly. Salt and a little pepper. Sometimes a little Old Bay. 
 

I’ll also steam ears while steaming crabs.

Tried it left in the husks, soaked for a few min. then grilled 5 min per side. Tasted like the husks, but there is no need to de silk it as they come off with the husks after it's cooked. I've done it like this and not have it taste like the husk, no idea why it's inconsistent.

Without husks, grilled till it shows a bit of grill mark, then turn 90 and repeat, it was a dried out but decent.

Unhusked in the microwave worked well without the taste of the husk.

Steamed, this is our normal way, it's how my wife likes it so this is what we use, with butter, these days with no salt, darn.

 

What I want to try making is Mexican Street Corn but we never have the right ingredients at the same time as the corn is in season. Sour cream isn't a normal thing we have.

I’m not real particular. Great post. I like the OP’s way of doing it outside of the mayo spread on it. No mayo for me. I’m liking it grilled more and more. Up my way we are getting great corn now. Not market corn. Farm stand corn. 

[TOXIC]

I was born and raised in Nebraska and spent summers on my grandparents farm in Iowa.  I’ve had corn about every way imaginable.  My favorite is not sweet corn, it’s regular old field corn but it is only good for about 2 weeks during the growing season.
