Can you roast corn?

*gives up & goes home to roast corn and eat it without ketchup & HP*

How was it? Any hints or tips to pass on?

I'm about to boil a corn on the cob.

How long does it take?

Till it starts whistling.......

I always roast corn, I never boil it.

Boiled corn takes less time though. Only around 10 minutes.... depends how impatient you are for your corny-goodness

roast corn is lush too, but you can't beat it bbq'd

mmmmm, ponders leaving the house to get corn instead of pretending to do work...

only takes 6 minutes in the microwave!

As much as I like the smoky taste of roast/grilled, I still don't reckon you can beat boiled corn on the cob, especially when the corn is very fresh. Smothered with copious amounts of butter, it's just as succulent and sweet as can be. Bloody chin-dribblingly lovely.

Corn on the cob seems cheap at the mo - 4 cobs for a quid or so.

It was lovely, not as good as barbecued, but better than boiled - I peeled the husks down, took out the silky thread things then put the husks back up - whacked it in the oven for 30mins at about 190... might've needed a little longer, but I was really hungry and it was still lovely. (bloddy huge though - having the other half for tea tonight)

Kept it simple and just had butter and salt - might be more adventurous next time

You're warming to the ketchup & HP idea, aren't you?

No... they were both on my plate last night, but only my sausages got dipped in them... wasn't even tempted with the corn

Thanks crustychick!

Am now enjoying corn smothered with butter and am not tempted by the ketchup idea at all.

I do my best to educate you people......

Sometimes I feel like I'm just wasting my time!

 

[Madusa]

Well, you tempted me!

If you can change one person's mind the crusade was not in vain. Keep up the struggle.

I'm now trying to pick out the bits of corn stuck between my teeth!

If only you'd used ketchup instead....

Im having roasted corn on the cob tonight with melted butter, fillet of cod and boiled new potatoes with olive oil and dil. It's cooking as I type and I cant wait to tuck it!

I thought if you roasted Corn you got cornflakes?

Only in the adverts.

In the real world, you get roasted corn.

To make cornflakes, you need corn and an industrial plant the size of a small town.
