This is a little different but I usually just chuck it over a naked flame on the stove (you could only do this on a gas stove obviously)...gives it a nice bbq'ed flavour. Just keep turning in on the flame with tongs when it starts making a popping sound and goes a bit black around the top of the kernels. Then you can either slice all the kernels off or serve it on the cob with a little butter, salt and lemon juice. Great as a snack too, I used to eat it all the time as a kid.
