Grilled Corn on the Cob, Razorstyle — Heaven in Tin Foil
August 4, 2008|Comments (13)
Cooking without a recipe is one of my all-time most favorite things to do — especially if I know it will produce something amazing. This corn is so good that if eating it through a chain link fence were the only option — you’d do it without hesitation. Well, I would. Actually, I don’t know if I am physically capable but I know people who are, poor things.
Lay out some tin foil and paint an ear of corn with olive oil. You could even pretend that you are Bob Ross and add in lots of Bob Ross-ish commentary like, “And it looks like a cute little kernel of corn lives over here.”
Dust with finely grated Parmesan cheese (translation: cover completely with the cheese — roll the ear of corn in a bucket of the stuff — do whatever it takes to ensure that the MAXIMUM amount of the good stuff is on that corn). As if we have any self control when it comes to Parmesan!
Sprinkle with some garlic salt and freshly ground pepper. It’s probably best that you don’t burst into a Salt N Peppa song like I did on this step. You might frighten small children.
Wrap them up in the foil. You can either throw them on the grill right away or go and work on some other culinary masterpiece while these babies just sit and soak up the good stuff. Choose your own adventure, folks.
Throw them on a preheated grill and let them cook 20-30 minutes with the cover down — turn them once. Dig in. Moan. Wipe chin. Repeat.
Corn holders are nice to have. Get your own set though. Those babies are mine.

Parmesan cheese on grilled corn? That sounds delicious! It’s all your fault that I have to wipe my drool off at work….now they think I’m weird!
Me and Tony LOVE corn. When we lived in Minneapolis, we had it almost nightly, in season. Here in AZ, finding good corn is a competitive sport at the grocery store - so RARE. Bummer, dudette.
You really think my kids would be frightened if I busted out into Salt and Peppa? And I thought you knew them…
That corn looks amazing. We will have to try that soon. I wonder what the corn at Fat Boys is looking like these days.
Hey, I recognize those bowls. They’re part of the old Pyrex set: blue, red, green and yellow. I have the last of my mama’s, the big yellow one. It wasn’t new when I was a child. LOL.
Um, I need at least four ears over here at my house. I am seriously drooling over that last picture and may need an intervention of some sort.
Thanks for sharing! This will be a huge hit at my house.
My mouth is watering.
Flavarful! Can I have one, please ;-P!
Cheers,
Rosa
I meant “flavorful” ;-P…….
I’m so drooling here, too! I can almost smell that sweet corn….
That looks pretty good, but I like mine with just butter, salt, and pepper.
I’m drooling…
And I thought I could do up some mean corn on the cob…. is it lunch time yet…. how long would it take me to get to GA…. mmmmmmmmmm
Ok now your making me hungry!!!
