How To BBQ Corn

Today, I'm going to show you a barbecue master class. I'm going to show you how to barbecue corn on the cob. In order to do that, in actual fact, what we need to do is just wrap it up in tinfoil.

I'll explain why when I see you outside. Now, I'm just going to put that on the barbecue and we're going to keep moving it. It's actually quite a good lesson for cooking reasonably technical things on the barbecue.

I'll give you more examples in a moment. But what we're doing here is by keeping it in the tin foil, you're cooking it through, it's almost steaming, and then what we'll do towards the end is we'll take the tinfoil off and finish it off so it gets a nice bit of char actually on the corn. So if you take salmon as an example, if you just put that straight onto the barbecue, it's going to break up immediately, but if you wrap it in tin foil, cook it in the same process by so steaming it, and then take it out the foil and finish it off, once it's kind of, the flesh is cooked, it's not going to break up, and you're still going to enjoy all the benefits of a barbecue which is getting that lovely charred smoky taste that comes from the coals.

So we're just going to keep cooking this. Probably leave it on there for about ten minutes. For the last two or three minutes of cooking, we'll finish it off by taking the tin foil off.

Right, well, that's been on for ten minutes, so what we're going to do is let that cool down. I'm going to then unwrap it and we're going to finish it off on the barbecue. Right, so, on it goes, and probably it's going to take 3 or 4 minutes and then this will be beautifully cooked.

Right, well, that's beautifully cooked all the way through. I'm going to plate that up now, but ladies and gents, that's how to barbecue sweet corn. |Corn on the cob is a great side dish to many barbecues, but many people don't know how to do it correctly or without overcooking or undercooking it.
