What it is

How people cook with it

To prepare, you can drain the liquid from the can. Then, you can heat the corn on the stovetop in a saucepan. Stir occasionally until it is warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave the corn in a microwave-safe dish. Be sure to cover it loosely. It can also be added directly to recipes that are being cooked, such as stews or baked dishes, where it will heat up as the other ingredients cook.
