Big Green Egg Corn On The Cob Indirect
Introduction
Corn on the cob is a summer staple, and cooking it on a Big Green Egg grill makes it that much better. Indirect grilling is the way to go when cooking corn on the cob on a Big Green Egg. This process allows the corn to cook evenly and develop a smoky flavor. In this article, we will be discussing how to cook corn on the cob indirectly on a Big Green Egg grill.
Choosing the Right Corn
Before you start cooking, it is important to choose the right corn. Look for fresh, sweet corn that is still in the husk. Avoid corn that is discolored or has brown spots on the kernels. It is also essential to remove the silk from the corn before grilling.
Preparing the Grill
Start by lighting the Big Green Egg grill and setting it up for indirect grilling. To do this, place the convEGGtor in the grill, with the legs facing down. Next, place the cooking grate on top of the convEGGtor. This will create a barrier between the heat and the food, allowing it to cook indirectly.
Seasoning the Corn
Once the grill is ready, it's time to season the corn. There are many ways to season corn on the cob, but a simple butter and salt mixture is always delicious. Melt some butter and mix it with salt and any other herbs or spices you desire. Brush the mixture onto the corn, making sure to coat it evenly.
Grilling the Corn
Now it's time to grill the corn. Place the seasoned corn on the cooking grate, directly over the convEGGtor. Close the lid of the grill and let the corn cook for around 20-30 minutes. Check on the corn every 5-10 minutes and rotate it to ensure even cooking.
Serving the Corn
Once the corn is cooked and tender, remove it from the grill and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve with additional butter and salt or any other toppings you desire. Some popular toppings for corn on the cob include cheese, chili powder, and lime juice.
Closing Thoughts
Cooking corn on the cob on a Big Green Egg grill is a great way to add some smoky flavor to a classic summer dish. By following these simple steps, you can create perfectly cooked and seasoned corn on the cob that your family and friends are sure to love.
