Sizzle and savory: the ultimate guide to cooking corn on the cob on a blackstone griddle

Corn on the cob is a summer staple, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than grilled on a Blackstone. With its ample cooking space and even heat distribution, the Blackstone makes grilling corn a breeze. Follow these simple steps to achieve perfectly grilled corn every time.

Prepare the Corn

1. Remove the husks: Peel back the outer husks and remove the silk. Leave the inner layer of husks intact to protect the kernels.

2. Trim the ends: Cut off the stem and tassel ends of the corn.

Heat the Blackstone

1. Preheat the Blackstone: Heat the Blackstone to medium-high heat (around 400-450°F).

2. Season the grill: Lightly grease the grill surface with oil to prevent sticking.

Grill the Corn

1. Place the corn on the grill: Place the corn on the preheated Blackstone, with the husks facing down.

2. Grill for 10-15 minutes: Grill the corn for 10-15 minutes, or until the husks are charred and the kernels are tender.

3. Rotate the corn: Rotate the corn every few minutes to ensure even grilling.

Check for Doneness

1. Insert a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the kernels. If the toothpick comes out clean, the corn is done.

Remove and Serve

1. Remove the corn from the grill: Use tongs to remove the corn from the Blackstone.

2. Remove the husks: Carefully peel back the charred husks to reveal the grilled corn.

3. Serve: Serve the corn hot with your favorite toppings, such as butter, salt, pepper, or melted cheese.

Enhance Your Blackstone Corn

• Add flavor: Brush the corn with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.

• Grill with vegetables: Grill corn alongside other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or zucchini, for a flavorful summer side dish.

• Make corn salad: Cut the kernels off the grilled corn and combine them with other ingredients, such as tomatoes, onions, and feta cheese, to make a refreshing corn salad.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• The corn is too dry: If the corn is too dry, it was likely overcooked. Grill the corn for a shorter amount of time next time.

• The corn is not cooked through: If the corn is not cooked through, it was likely grilled at too low a temperature. Increase the heat next time.

• The husks are burning: If the husks are burning, the Blackstone is too hot. Reduce the heat and grill the corn for a longer amount of time.
