I've been making corn on the cob in the oven for several years now, and we love it. I've used foil wrapped around each ear and also just I've put foil as a cover for the pan. I use salt, pepper, butter, and parmesan cheese most of the time. By fixing in the oven, the corn seems to hold heat longer too. Thanks for your recipe. I look forward to your suggestions. Happy Summer.
I use my Instant Pot.
I doesn't char, but they come out great...!
