Canned creamed corn is not exactly visually appealing, and the canning
process somehow changes the texture, IMHO. Personally, I avoid the
stuff no matter its application.

Just picked sweet corn-on-the-cob is [usually] so very good, and a
freshly-made batch of creamed corn can be oh-so-good, too ;-) My method
is to cut off the kernels, then use the backside of the knife to 'rake
down the cob' for the remaining milk and germ <--is that the right
word?==<<. Both are put into a pot, along with generous dollops of
butter and some heavy whipping cream for preferred denseness
(soupiness?). Add salt and other seasonings as desired. Use medium
high heat on the stove, stirring frequently for about 12-18 minutes
until heated through or desired doneness <--is that even a word?==<< is
achieved. Very simple and quite tasty =:-)
