Why Grill Corn in Foil?
This recipe goes from the grill to the table using the same foil. It’s so convenient to make and serve with Heavy-Duty Foil. Here’s why we love it:
- Make-ahead – you can pre-wrap the corn in advance and refrigerate until ready to use
- No pre-soaking or waiting required, simply wrap and grill the corn
- Great for any kind of grill – gas, charcoal, wood, or smoker, and you can even double wrap to grill it over a campfire
- Even cooking – the foil protects food over direct heat to evenly cook corn without burning
- Serve in Foil – to keep hands clean while enjoying saucy Mexican corn
- Easy clean up – no mess and no dishes
Grilling Safety Tip: when removing foil-wrapped corn from the grill, use tongs and please be very careful opening as the packet and steam inside will be extremely hot.
