Another reason I like it is because since the oven is already on..it's the best way to do corn on the cob..

. Take the corn...just cut the brown ends off the end of the husks..soak them in water for 30 minutes..I put a heavy pot on top to keep them completely immersed...take out..wrap individually in aluminum foil and crimp tight..stick in oven 325-375..it works with whatever else you're making..they're ready in 45 minutes...put can stay in the oven much longer if your timing gets messed up with the other food..

I use a pair of washclothes for the next step..remove the foil..hold ear at base...peel back husk..grab corn in the middle and break off the stem and husk in one clean piece..you'll fine the silk come off when you peel it...easy peasy...moist, juicy every time..

Mmmmmmm....pre-soaking in the husks is a great idea.

I have to keep reminding myself that I’m not “cooking” corn-—just heating it up to melt all that luscious butter.

Another corn recipe. My wife and I really like it, and most friends we introduce it to start making it as well. We use frozen corn, but you can use fresh. We use either one or two bags of frozen corn (10-12 oz each), depending on how many folks will be eating with us. One red pepper. If you're using one bag of corn, use half the pepper, two bags, use the whole thing - or adjust to your liking.

Dice the red pepper, then use a bit of butter and olive oil in a pan to cook the pepper a bit. Add the corn, and your choice of spices/flavorings. We use red pepper flake, onion powder, seasoned salt and ground black pepper.

Heat until warm and serve warm. Good stuff.
