Grandma's Secret Trick

Grandma's secret for perfectly grilled corn-on-the-cob was to grill it in the husk. First she would remove the silk from each husk. To avoid burning the corn, she presoaked the ears in cold water. Grilling gives the corn a smoky, woodsy flavor, and the husks help to keep it sweet tasting.
