Yes you are essentially steaming it by this method - I also like to pull the husks off and then throw it back on the grill as it will then carmalize some of the corn. Very tasty stuff indeed. BTW Hard to pull husks this way as the corn is very hot - steam will burn you so I suggest a pair of oven mits to protect your hands.

I'm with you Fez. I soak the corn in water for about an hour, then cook it on the grill still in it's husk. Cut all the corn off the cob with a knife and sprinkle a little lemon juice on it.

Flame away.

I eat it the same way but have not tried lemon. Will give it a try!

What about veal and human babies?

 

 

I actually meant veal, but typed lamb. Maybe because I had lamb vindaloo the other day.

 

I always "baaa" a little when I eat lamb, just for effect.
