How to Cook Frozen Corn on the Cob on the Grill

Corn on the cob is an American classic in a slightly different way then the hamburger is. Grown mostly in the mid-United States, corn has been a staple of the American diet since the beginning of the country’s existence. It was carried over from Native American traditional farming, so corn as a major food source even predates the country by several centuries if not millennia. Of course, they had to roast it over open fires in those days. Luckily, now we have handy grills for such jobs.

There are a number of ways to cook frozen corn on the cob on the grill. Defrosting rules don’t apply to corn like they do for meat, however, if you’d like the corn to cook faster placing it in the fridge in the morning or popping it in the microwave for a little will help lower overall cook times.

We’ll want to keep the corn itself covered with something during the cooking process, whether it’s the husk or aluminum is your choice. To keep the husk from catching fire, soak it in water before putting it on the grill. If using aluminum to cover the corn, go ahead and remove the husk.

You can season your corn by spreading some butter or sprinkling some salt inside your chosen covering. You’ll have to open up the husk to do this if you choose that method. The corn on the cob should be ready for any grill, either charcoal or propane. With a pre-heated grill, place the prepared corn the cooking surface and close the lid. It will take between 20 to 30 minutes to cook fully. Also, be sure to rotate the corn on the grill a couple times for equal cook through. That’s all there is to making frozen corn on the cob on the grill, all that’s left is to serve.
