Grilled Corn on the Cob - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 24

Grilled corn on the cob is a summer favorite. Sometimes, it doesn't get quite done. Breaking, or slicing the cobs in half, decreases cook time. Add to the grill before the meat, and they are more likely to fully cook. Placed directly on the metal grill, marks burn onto the corn. Be careful about adding butter to the grill pack if placed on, or near, the coals. A grill packet may catch on fire if butter leaks. This happened one summer day. Flames shot up and singed the meat. It was delicious, even though the foil packet had been on fire.

Crimp the side by folding them over two to three times. Do the same with the top. Add holes with a toothpick, or a fork, to let heat in and liquid escape.
