Cooking corn on the cob most frequently involves frying, boiling, roasting, grilling, and baking. You may either grill corn on the cob in its husk or shuck it first and then wrap it in aluminium foil.  It is advised to roast corn in the husk right on the rack in the oven.  In its husk, corn on the cob can also be microwaved for 3 to 4 minutes.

For corn on the cob, common seasonings and condiments include butter, salt, and black pepper.
