Ninja Foodi Grill Xl Corn On The Cob
As summer approaches, one of the most popular and simple treats is corn on the cob. It’s easy to make, delicious, and can be served with a variety of toppings. But have you ever considered cooking corn on the cob in a Ninja Foodi Grill XL? Not only can this versatile kitchen appliance grill your corn to perfection, but it also has the ability to pressure cook it, making it an even easier and faster option. In this article, we’ll discuss everything you need to know about cooking corn on the cob in a Ninja Foodi Grill, including preparation, cooking methods, and some tasty serving suggestions.
Preparing the Corn
Before cooking, you need to prepare your corn for the grill. Start by peeling off the outer layers of the husk and removing the silk strands from each ear. Then, soak the corn in cold water for at least 10 minutes. This will help keep the corn moist and prevent it from drying out while grilling.
Once the corn is soaked, you can choose to leave the husks on or remove them. Leaving the husks on will give your corn a smoky flavor and help keep it moist while cooking. To remove the husks, simply grab the top of the husk and pull it down to the bottom of the ear, removing as much of the husk and silk as possible.
Grilling the Corn
Once your corn is prepared, you’re ready to start grilling. Set your Ninja Foodi Grill XL to the “Grill” setting and preheat it for 5-10 minutes. If you’re leaving the husks on, place the corn directly on the grill grates. If you’ve removed the husks, you can use foil or a grill basket to prevent the corn from falling through the grates.
Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, rotating it every few minutes to ensure even cooking. When the kernels start to turn golden brown and the husks are charred, your corn is ready to be served. You can also use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the corn, which should be around 170°F.
Pressure Cooking the Corn
If you’re short on time or prefer a different cooking method, you can also pressure cook your corn on the cob in the Ninja Foodi Grill XL. To do this, place 1 cup of water in the inner pot and insert the reversible rack. Place the ears of corn on the rack, making sure they’re not stacked on top of each other.
Seal the pressure cooking lid and set the valve to “Seal”. Cook on high pressure for 2-3 minutes, depending on the size of your ears of corn. Once the cooking time is complete, release the pressure and remove the corn from the pot using tongs.
Serving Suggestions
Now that your corn is cooked to perfection, it’s time to add some delicious toppings. You can keep it simple with just butter and salt, or get creative with a variety of flavors. Some popular serving suggestions include:
- Butter and salt
- Garlic butter
- Parmesan cheese and herbs
- Chili lime butter
- Mayonnaise and cotija cheese
No matter how you serve it, corn on the cob cooked in a Ninja Foodi Grill XL is sure to be a hit at your next summer gathering.
