Yeah but when you do it this way you have this precious sob subconsciously saying to you "what did I tell ya?" after you take that first flavorless chew that is somehow the only corn bite you will ever truly have an emotional attachment to.
You'll be chasin that dragon with every ear you purchase. You'll be nukin corn husks till dusk just to try and get that epoch mf rush you had when you first followed this beautiful bastards advice.

Grilling it wrapped in foil or in the oven is the same thing. The heating medium gives it no flavor regardless.

Not really. Microwave is not heating externally and it indeed can have an effect in texture and flavor. Particularly when flavour is not intrinsic but developer by the heating process.

Corn in full husk goes on the grill first. Then I grill my burgers or whatever as it continues to steam in the husk. During the phases of having the grill closed, some of the grillsmoke makes it into the corn. I can't say I have had microwaved corn before so no idea if it really makes a big difference, but it should make at least some.

Yea there’s no way microwaved corn tastes the same as grilled corn. Especially if you’re grilling with wood or charcoal.
Mesquite grilled corn is one of my favorite things.

But this is not the case for corn on the cob. Flavor is intrinsic heating does nothing for the flavor. You're typically just wrapping it in foil on a grill or oven. It's abundantly clear you've not had microwaved corn on the cob.

Here's an idea: Don't fucking wrap it in foil! Slap that MFer right on the grill, get some char on there. You don't need foil on there, all that does is steam it like you said. but if you get some char on it, then you are actually developing some flavor from your heating method.

Yeah you get a char-y flavor. It isn't necessarily better. Also kills the plump juiciness of the corn which is preserved by the steam method.

Absolutely not. It's not like you're charring the whole damn thing (unless you like it burned) it just adds a bit of the grilled flavor, still perfectly crunchy and juicy.

Some confidently incorrect bullshit right here.
Microwaving corn on the cob is perfectly legitimate way to do it. It tastes great. It's not like a mush. I guarantee you haven't tried it. And if you char it on the grill bare you will be cleaning up all the fuzz yourself. Which is the whole point of the post.
Also what kind of asshole tried to gate keep corn on the cob.
You're just an asshole who doesn't know shit clearly

Your corn game is weak and you don't understand wtf gatekeeping means. You're a disappointment to everyone who ever loved you.

You're literally trying to gate keep. Saying corn on the cob isn't worth having if it isn't made specifically to your tastes.
Enjoy your ban

Literally you. You are literally in here telling people they aren't cooking their corn correctly.
Appropriate_Fee9685 t1_iwdbyk6 wrote
Did you just hurt yourself in your confusion. I just said microwaving is a legitimate way to cook corn. Im not here insisting you do it. And I never claimed it was the best method. I said the result is similar to cooking on a grill in foil bc you and the other goblin were here acting as if it was like eating trash. Then you're making the assertion it's best just to throw it direct on the grill which is 100% going to dry it out and give you a crap result. You need to at minimum cook in the husk of not foil and only after soaking the corn. Then you can toss it on directly at the end for some grill marks. But that will give you corn with charred hairs all over.
You want to go stop sucking on each other and think about what you're doing?

That's you telling me I'm not cooking my corn correctly.

First of all congrats on devolving to name calling. Second, i never said anything about microwaving and whether it's good or bad (I don't give a shit btw.) All I said was that your are full of shit for claiming that the cooking method is irrelevant because the cooking method doesn't develop flavor.
>Then you're making the assertion it's best just to throw it direct on the grill
Nope, I never said that. I just suggested a way to cook corn that DOES in fact develop flavor.
