- Char the corn: Char your corn either on a barbecue grill, on a grill pan, or over a gas burner. If you are charring the corn over a gas burner, keep the heat at medium. Use barbecue-safe tongs to rotate the corn over the gas burner, to char the corn.4 ears Corn

Notes
- You will hear some of the kernels popping when using a gas burner - that is normal. As always, use caution when using this method, and ensure your heat is not too high.
- If you prefer softer corn kernels you can boil the corn cobs for 3-5 minutes prior to charring them. This will give you a more 'cooked' texture, while still getting charred.
