This tastes like 100% pure summer. I love it.

I also soaked the corn for about 20 minutes and trimmed off the exposed silk. It came out so sweet and delicious and just-ever-so-slightly earthy from the husks. No salt needed (other than what was in the butter. Yum.

I love this method. I was so happy to catch the re-run as my HDD had taken a dump and I didn't remember which Chef had made it.
I did soak my corn cobs for about 30" because the corn was a couple of days old and starting to look a little dry. I did trim off the outside browned silk with scissors. Added a little butter & pepper, as I waited to salt it after it was cooked but I am a 'pepper-freak'. The I tied up the husks.
I don't think I'll ever make fresh corn on the cob a different way again. I've hated de-silking the cob for the last 45+yrs, as Mom would 'let' me sit at the table with her with newspapers spread everywhere trying to catch the silk as we tried to remove it all. (My Dad as a 'touch fussy about silk and husks being on his cobs. I just wish she would believe me and try making it this way.
Even on the older cobs it brings out the sugar in the corn. Brought me back to my childhood of sucking the cob's corn-milk left in it after biting off all the kernels. YUM

Last weekend my wife and I attended a Brooklyn backyard barbecue with some good friends and some funky cool strangers. My friend, the host, had a couple dozen ears of prime organic market corn to cook. As I had arrived early, I volunteered to assist the chef and he assigned me the corn. I was delighted and began by soaking the ears for 15 minutes in cold water before throwing them on the grill un-shucked. He was confused and a little concerned, but he agreed to allowing my method as long as we did his shucking method as well, 50/50; I agreed. The "husk on" method corn was the hit of the party, man, woman, child. Oh, but this is about oven roasting...sorry.

My nephew told me about this method of cooking corn on the cob. I was a little doubtful, as I have always cooked my corn in a big pot of water with a little added sugar and milk. Baking the corn in the oven with the husks on was so easy.....The husks and silk peeled right off after cooking. The corn was super sweet and perfectly cooked. I will never cook corn in water again!

Ok ... I grew up smack dab in the middle of Iowa. Where we would dash out to the field about an hour before dinner and pick an armload or two of corn to go with supper. You've never had corn until you've had it just that fresh. We always ALWAYS shucked the corn of husks and silk, brought a huge pot of water to a rapid boil, dumped in the corn and shut off the heat. In 10 minutes it was ready for the table. Please pass the butter and the S&P.

What were we thinking??!1?? This recipe is so simple and so perfect. Never ever will I abuse another ear of corn by boiling it! haha

I had soaked my corn because I intended on grilling it. Next thing I knew, it was downpouring. This little gem saved my dinner!

Super moist and sweet! I am a poor college student and bought corn on the cob for a few dinners since it is so cheap. This was DELICIOUS. So easy too, I just stuck it in the oven and went on with my other tasks. Reminds me of when I was little and we did corn in the fire.
