- 15 ounces (425g) canned corn unsalted
- ½ cup (236ml) water
- 1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter optional
- salt to taste
Open the can of corn and drain out the liquid.
Pour the corn kernels into a skillet or saucepan along with water, butter, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the canned corn for a couple of minutes until warmed through.
Taste for seasoning, adding more salt or sprinkling with salt and pepper before serving.
- Look for the words ‘sweet corn’ on the can when purchasing canned corn.
- Frozen corn can be cooked the same way as canned corn. Frozen corn may take a few more minutes to become hot.
- Use chicken broth instead of water for even more flavor.
- Season this easy canned corn recipe with salt and pepper.
- When cooking corn, do not allow the water to boil off. Cook corn until it is just warmed through so you don’t have chewy, overcooked corn.
- Drain the excess water from the corn before serving.
- Storage - keep cooked canned corn in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
