    Loved all of your tips. I was waiting to make grilled corn on the cob but we’ve had constant rain. After reading your post I decided to make the corn in the oven. It was delicious and I certainly didn’t miss the thrill of the grill.

    Great idea! Not everyone has a grill and fresh corn is best when it isn’t boiled. I’m sure looking forward to corn season!

    Nothing beats fresh corn on the cob. This is such a great way to prepare it. So much better boiling it in a pot.
