GRILLED CORN
You can grill corn with the husks on. You can strip the husks partly off, remove the silks and re-wrap the ears, then grill. You can soak the corn in cool water before grilling. Or blanch it in hot. I blanch, occasionally following the lead of the celebrity chef Bobby Flay, who adds a cup of milk to his blanching liquid. "I have no idea why I do it," he said. "It's like adding corks to the liquid when you're poaching octopus. Who knows if it works? But it's a foolproof way to get perfect corn." Serve with butter, as in this recipe, or dab with mayonnaise and sprinkle with cotija cheese.

Steps:
- Build a fire in your grill, leaving one side free of coals. When coals are covered with gray ash and the temperature is medium (you can hold your hand 5 inches above the coals for 5 to 7 seconds), you are ready to cook. (For a gas grill, turn all burners to high, lower cover and heat for 15 minutes, then turn burners to medium.)
- Meanwhile, shuck the corn, removing both husks and silks.
- Fill a large pot halfway with water and set over high heat to come to a simmer. Add the milk, if using.
- Blanch the corn in the pot for about 3 minutes, then stack on a platter.
- Apply just a little butter to each ear of corn, then place on grill. Cook, turning often, until the corn is tender and some of the kernels are beginning to darken, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately with remaining butter and salt.
