The can corn I buy is not consistantly good. Often they are not as
tender and sweet as I like. Once I even went back the next day to the
supermarket to buy more of the same can corn which I found to be sweet
and tender but it must have been from a different batch because it
wasn't as good as what I got the day before.

So. Do you use a brand that has usually tender and sweet whole corn?

I buy Delmonte exclusively these days. And I use a lot of
corn. I like it for it's nice crisp texture, just like
fresh corn. It is also nice and sweet. Green Giant niblets
are good texture-wise also. Stay away from Libby's - they
are very soft, not crisp. I also find frozen corn to be softer.
I used to use frozen corn almost exclusively for the fresher
taste but when I discovered Delmonte's newer versions I
switched. They have done something to make the corn stay
crisper when processed than it did years ago.
