OT? Do you brine corn?

I've never heard of brining corn, but it seems like an interesting concept. Normally I soak mine for a couple of hours in the husk and then throw it on the grill......husk and all.

Being a Hoosier, I know sweet corn. I don't see the benefit to using a brine. I usually grill in the shuck and if it's fresh from the field I don't soak it. Otherwise I soak it for 30 minutes or so. If I'm grilling shucked corn, I like it fast and hot. Just enough to get some char, but I prefer it in the husk~ John - https://www.instagram.com/hoosier_egger

I cant see this doing much to the corn really, seeing as the hulls of the corn aren't digestible, as you can see a few hours after eating it. I cant imagine the brine penetrating that kernel. I could be wrong.

Never heard of brining corn. Good fresh corn doesn't need anything for me to enjoy it.
-
The article actually says its to get flavor in between the kernels in the nooks and crannies...and goes on to say don't brine for more than 30-60 min or you'll dry out the corn and make it tough. Oh, and you have to peel back the husk before you brine.
compund butter after you cook the corn with whatever you want to add would be more effective - and easier. It's not hard to get flavor on corn which is really what they admit they are doing. -
NO... Pull husks, apply oil or butter and place on grid. Don't over think itSalado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

I just cut off the ends, leave the husks on, soak in water for about 30 minutes, then put on the egg; I guess it sort of steams it inside the husk, but it always comes out tender, juicy, and goooood!Lagrange, GA LBGE

Mickey, you should try dusting with corn starch, it really crisps it up.
-
All I do is run the husk under water for a few minutes, then wrap in foil and grill (the water in the husk steams the corn)

I have never eaten grilled corn. What I've seen almost always looks burned to me. Burnt tomatoes or carrots are delicious, but burned corn just looks, well, burned. I always shuck it, boil water, turn off the heat and put the ears in for 10-12 minutes. Keep meaning to try the microwave trick, but haven't yet.
As for brining, I never brine anything.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

I use mayo on the corn to hold the seasoning. I use S&P with a dash of cayenne pepper and wrap in foil. The mayo is an awesome trick a buddy showed me a while back.

I take my corn and soak in hot dihydrogen oxide, then apply a molten mixture of triglycerides, fatty acids and triester followed by some crystalized sodium chloride.
