In reply to Connie.

I feel like you’re the 3rd person to ask this and the support answers have been really unclear.

The recipe says “unhusked” when I think they mean “unshucked” to start, so that you then have a husk to remove. Husking can refer to either removing or encasing as a verb, which is why I think people are so confused.

By cooking them in the husk (while they are still “husked” (adjective, the state of having the husk on) but also have not BEEN “husked” (the verb of removing the husk) they steam through for a more even cook without burning, since grilling is so high heat. You then remove the husk (shucking in some areas) mid cook to then get them to grill through and tenderize.

In reply to Connie. Hi Connie, cooking in the husk helps steam and cook through and then removing the husks helps get grill marks/flavor.

Hi! I’m curious as to why the written directions say to put the ears UNHUSKED onto the grill for 7-8 minutes before putting the “bare” ears on—yet the video completely omits this step and starts out with putting the husked ears directly onto the grill. What’s up with that?
