To prepare, simply drain the liquid from the can. The corn can be heated on the stovetop in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through, or it can be microwaved in a microwave-safe dish. For a quick addition to meals, it can be stirred directly into soups, stews, or casseroles during the last few minutes of cooking. It is also excellent served cold as a simple side or mixed into salads.
