do it right on my stovetop. I have gas
burners, so I turn them to medium-high
and roast 2 ears at a time, turning them
slightly as they roast. If you have an
electric stove, you can do the same, but
put a small metal rack over your burner
so that the corn does not sit directly on it
and make a mess. If you don’t want to go
this route (though I find it to be the
simplest), you can roast the corn on a
grill.
- Remove the kernels from the corn.
Either use a fancy gadget designed for
this purpose or do as I do—take a
serrated knife, hold the cob with one
hand, and work your way carefully down
the length of the cob with the other hand
