3-Step Execution Protocol

1
Preheat & Prep

Preheat grill to Medium-high direct heat, 450°F (232°C). Clean and oil grates. Prepare sweet corn on the cob (husks removed) (Shucked ears, silks brushed off, rubbed lightly with neutral oil).

2
Cook & Flip

Cook for 10–15 mins (quarter-turn every 3 minutes). Flip at the 3-minute mark for even browning.

3
Check & Rest

Kernels have blistered gold-brown spots on all four sides and give under thumb pressure with no chalky snap. Rest for 0 minutes before serving.

Verification Basis & Testing Rig

No internal temperature target — corn is judged by kernel texture, not a probe, so the field is omitted rather than guessed (HR-2). Direct-heat method as documented by the Weber Grilling Guide and Serious Eats' grilled-corn technique piece.

Pro Tip: Rotate a quarter-turn every 2–3 minutes for even char, and lift a couple of kernels with a fingernail to test — an under-cooked kernel splits with a dry white core, a done one squishes and runs milky. Skip pre-boiling; a fresh ear has enough water in it to steam-in-place while the outside sears.
