Tyler Florence has said more than once that you will never go back to boiling once you try oven roasted corn on the cob, but I had never gotten around to trying it until now! Boy am I sorry I waited so long to try it! The corn steams and bakes in its own husk leaving only tender flavor packed bites. The silks will peel right off with the husk. You can use the husk as a handle for backyard BBQs or cut it off for a civilized indoor dinner 😀
