Grilled corn on Stove

Grilling corn on the stove is a fantastic alternative when an outdoor grill isn't available. By preheating a pot or skillet, brushing the corn with oil or butter, seasoning it to taste, and grilling it until tender and charred, you can enjoy the flavors of perfectly grilled corn right from your stove. Wrapping the corn in foil adds an extra smoky touch if desired. Serve the corn as a side dish or as part of your favorite recipes, and savor the delightful combination of sweetness and smokiness.

Equipment

  • stove
  • large pot
  • Tongs
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • fresh corn
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • additional seasonal optional

Instructions
 

  • Start by removing the husks and silks from the corn ears. Make sure to remove as much silk as possible, as it can burn during grilling.
  • Place a large pot or skillet on the stove over medium-high heat. Preheat it for a few minutes until it's hot.
  • Brush each ear of corn with olive oil or melted butter, ensuring that all sides are coated. This will add flavor and help prevent sticking.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the corn, or use your favorite seasonings or spices to customize the flavor. Feel free to get creative with herbs, spices, or even a squeeze of lime or lemon juice.
  • Carefully place the corn ears on the preheated pot or skillet. Let them cook for 5-7 minutes, rotating occasionally with tongs or grill forks to ensure even grilling. The corn should develop a beautiful char and become tender.
  • Wrap in foil for additional smokiness (optional): If you want to enhance the smoky flavor, you can wrap each corn ear in aluminum foil before placing it on the pot or skillet. This step is optional but can provide a more intense smoky taste.
  • Once the corn is grilled to your liking, remove it from the pot or skillet. Let it cool slightly before serving. You can serve the corn as is or add a pat of butter, sprinkle of salt, or any other desired toppings.
