How to cook

In boiling water
We all know how to cook corn on the cob the traditional way: by plunging it into boiling water for 10 minutes or so. The trick is to keep an eye on the clock. Any longer than 10 minutes and your corn will turn mushy. If you want tastier corn, leave some of the husk on the ear before cooking.
In the microwave
Quick and simple. Remove some of the husk from each ear, cut off the bottom, and cook in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes. Then let it cool and enjoy!
On the BBQ
Whether you’re cooking corn with or without the husk, be sure to oil the grill first. If you’re removing the husk, your corn will have a slightly caramelized taste. Just be sure it doesn’t burn! Or leave some of the husk on, dip the ears in water, and cook them on the grill, turning every 2 minutes.
In aluminum foil
If you want really tasty corn on the cob, brush each ear of corn with one of our tasty flavour mixes, wrap them in aluminum foil, and grill for about 10 minutes. Dinner’s served!
