Q: Can I cut food directly on the griddle? A: Yes, but please keep in mind that it can damage seasoning if you do it enough. It can also dull your knives quickly. We recommend chopping food with our spatulas, which have beveled edges and won't damage the seasoning of your griddle.

Keep it wrapped in the husks

If tender corn kernels are your ideal, grill your corn with the husks on. This method requires little-to-no prep work in advance of grilling, but takes a bit longer for the corn to cook.

The three main ways to grill corn are with the husk on, husk off, or wrapped in aluminum foil. Grilling with the husk on is the best way to retain the corn's natural moisture. Only grill corn for around 15 minutes until the kernels are plump, otherwise it will dry out.

You can leave the husks on or you can take the husks off and put some butter , salt and pepper, and some red chili powder if you like on it and wrap it up in some aluminum foil . Yes, you can grill corn with or without the husks.

Place the corn on the grill, close the cover and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until kernels are tender when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the husks and eat on the cob or remove the kernels.

Key Tip – don't overcook the corn!

The trick to great grilled corn is to cook it long enough to get a char, but not so long that the kernels end up juiceless and dry.

Also, the husks charred, giving the corn all the bold, smoky flavor of grilling without the drying or burned bits. If you don't have a grill, boiling corn in salted water is a great alternative. You won't get that charred flavor, but the kernels will be plump, juicy, and perfectly salted.

You can simply place whole cobs in the husks on a medium-hot grill, and cook them for 15 to 20 minutes, turning them occasionally. The husks will char all over (and — fair warning — get a little messy), but the corn itself won't brown or char at all; it essentially steams in the husk.

After soaking, drain and pat dry. Grill the corn in the husks over medium-high heat. Rotate the cobs every 3 to 5 minutes, until all sides of the corn are cooked. The entire process will take about 15 minutes.

Use a basting brush to brush each cob with a layer of olive oil. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place corn directly on the grill using tongs and grill corn for 12-15 minutes in total, turning the cobs every 3 minutes to a new side.
