I first saw this at our campout a few weeks back, and we tried it at home with the group yesterday, and it works great for doing corn on the cob for a large group.<\/p>\n

1. Take an empty (plastic, I assume, not styrofoam) cooler \/ ice chest.
2. Put all your cobs of corn down at the bottom (already shucked).
3. Bring a big pot of water to a boil.
4. Pour water into the cooler.
5. Put the lid on.<\/p>\n

Twenty minutes later: hot, cooked, corn on the cob (with water you can use to put out the fire that night or water the plants in the morning). \u00a0Add butter, garlic salt, whatever else you want, as usual.<\/p>\n

It lets you cook a lot more at a time than in that same big pot (which has to leave room for corn in it if you go that route), and doesn't take up room on the grill (though foil-wrapped buttered\/salted corn is also quite tasty if you have a small group). \u00a0Good stuff.<\/p><\/div>\n
