Last weekend I tested an idea I had heard about for grilling corn on the cobb.

After trimming the tops of the cobbs of the dirty silk and the extra green husk, and cutting down the horn to a manageable size I soaked the cobbs in a mixture of milk and water for about 6 hours. Apparently I probably only need at most a half hour...but that's beside the point. I did my prep early in the morning for a late afternoon bar-b-q

[note: milk or sugar is supposed to react nicely with the starches in corn, and salt I understand will toughen corn]

Then I put them a medium hot bar-b-q for about 20 minutes turning them ever so often.

It came out OK, but frankly wasn't spectacular. Of course it's early for superb sweet corn yet, but still...

I was wondering if any of you had any recipes or suggestions for grilling corn on the cobb?

Thanks,

BTW...the filet we marinaded in this new 'steak and chop' concotion from Lawry's came out better then any filet I have ever grilled. If any one's game those Lawry's marinades are just exquisite, and the variety is unbelievable. I know, I know filet shouldn't be marinaded...but this was thawed frozen filets I butchered and stored from an entire tenderloin from Costco. Which for the record at 55-65 bucks for anywhere from 10-15 filets is one of the best bargains out there.
