If you want to maximize grilled taste you can cook corn directly on the grill. My preferred method for grilling is to start cooking it in the husk to create some of the steam effect that you would get in the microwave. Soak the ears of corn in a bowl of water for 20 minutes. Then place it, in the husk, on the grill for 7-10 minutes per side. Clean away the husk and silk, then return it to the grill to brown the kernels and create that great grilled flavor.
