You want to make corn, but then you think… shucks, how much silk could corn possibly have? Funny you should ask, the average ear of corn has 768 kernels, and each kernel has a silk. That means… A lot of silk. Here are some tips to make shucking more fun on your Traeger.

Ingredients
Measure Ingredient
8 ea Corn, on the Cob
½ tsp Oink Rub, 5280 Culinary
½ tsp Rub a Dub, 5280 Culinary
1ea Butter Mill
Steam In The Husk Directions
- Soak ears of corn in cold water for 30 minutes prior to grilling
- Trim off the silk ends to prevent burning
- Preheat Traeger to 400 Degrees – allow to come to full temp before grilling
- Place the ears of corn on the hot grill with about 2” space in between each cob
- Turn the ears every 4-5 minutes
- Total cook time should be around 12-15 minutes
- Test corn for doneness, peel back the end of the cob, hold the ear using tongs and check a kernel for tenderness. Corn is done when kernels are juicy and tender.
- Remove the ears from the grill and place onto a cookie sheet
- Place an ear of corn onto your cutting board and using a sharp chefs knife, trim off the stalk end and the final part of the silk end. This will help the shucking process
- Using oven or grill gloves, grab the ear of corn and peel back 1 strip of husk
- Next grab the remaining husk, twist on both ends until loose and then twist all the wab around the cob
- Pull off the husk and the silk will follow. Any remaining silk will remove easily
- Season with butter from the Butter Mill and your choice of seasoning
- Tip – you can also return the shucked corn to the grill to get some final grill color and flavor
- DO NOT BUTTER if returning to grill
