Tips & Tricks

Looking for a recipe on how to cook corn on the cob? Stop with Step 1. Brush each ear of cooked corn with one tablespoon of unsalted butter and sprinkle with McCormick Sea Salt and Black Pepper Grinders, as desired.

To grill corn instead of boiling it on the stovetop, brush each ear with one tablespoon of oil. Grill over medium-high heat for 15 minutes, turning frequently, until lightly charred on all sides. Then brush with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper OR coat in a seasoned mayo mixture for elotes.
