Have You Had Grilled Corn

Let me tell you a little bit about grilled corn on the cob. First of all you need to find it fresh in the grocery store or farmers market.

Pull the corn shucks back up over the corn and now your ready to soak your ears of corn in the Italian Dressing / Water bath. If you can soak your corn on the cob in the shucks at least four hours.

Its important that your grill be already heated on about medium heat before you place your corn in the shucks on the grill. Be sure that your grill is not to hot or you will end up with burned corn.
