Fixing Corn On The Cob In The Oven
Corn on the cob is a classic summer side dish loved by many. The traditional way of cooking it is boiling it in a pot of water, but did you know you can also cook it in the oven? Baking corn on the cob is a simple and convenient alternative that yields perfectly tender and juicy corn. In this article, we will guide you through the process of fixing corn on the cob in the oven.
Ingredients:
- 4 ears of corn, husks and silks removed
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper to make cleaning up easier later.
3. Spread butter over each ear of corn, making sure to cover all sides evenly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
4. Wrap each ear of corn in aluminum foil, sealing it tightly to prevent any moisture from escaping.
5. Place the wrapped ears of corn in the baking dish.
6. Bake the corn in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
7. After 30 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven.
8. Carefully open the aluminum foil, taking care not to burn yourself as steam will escape.
9. Switch the oven setting to broil and place the corn back in the oven.
10. Broil the corn for 5-7 minutes, or until the corn has browned slightly.
11. Remove the corn from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips:
- If you prefer your corn to be more charred, feel free to leave it under the broiler for a bit longer.
- To add some extra flavor, try sprinkling some herbs, spices, or grated cheese on top of the butter before wrapping the corn in foil.
- If you're cooking for a crowd, you can easily double or triple this recipe.
Conclusion:
Now you know how to fix corn on the cob in the oven. This method is perfect for when you don't have access to a grill or just want to switch things up from traditional boiled corn. Give it a try, and enjoy perfectly cooked corn every time!
