Equipment required

Can opener

Small saucepan

Large spoon — Ideal for stirring and draining

How to Cook Canned Corn

One 15-ounce can of corn1 tablespoon butter

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

A dash of onion powder

1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley or two teaspoons dried parsley

How to Cook Canned Corn

Step 1 Open the can of corn and drain about half the liquid.

You don’t need to make exact measurements. You can use half the liquid if you make multiple cans. Suppose you have two cans of corn to cook; drain one and add the rest.

Step 2 Pour the corn and remaining liquid into a small saucepan or pot.

Step 3 – Add butter, salt and black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, and onion powder. Mix them in the corn.

Step 4 – Heat the pot on the stove. Could you bring it to a boil on medium heat?

Keep the heat at medium-low, and simmer the corn for about an hour. It will be possible for some liquid to remain, but not enough to cause any significant damage.

The whole process should take about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally. The cooking process will take longer if you have multiple cans of corn.

Step 5 – Take the corn out of the heat.

You can taste it to determine if it requires more seasonings. If so, add more salt or pepper as necessary. Stir in fresh parsley after you have cooked it.
