This technique seems a little bizarre because the husk stays on the corn almost the whole time…even though you’ve husked it off to start! But the reason for this is that the layer of the husk keeps your tender corn from getting too directly exposed to the heat. It acts as a great barrier!
To get the best grilled corn, check out the video below to see how you can grill your ears to perfection every time!
But soaking the corn in a bowl of water is really the trick to this whole method. The water seeps into the husk and into the corn, causing a little bit of steam when it hits the heat. This will give you the flavor you love from grilled foods, but it will also keep your corn juicy and soft, rather than charred and hard.
