FAQ
No. You can add the frozen corn right of the freezer to this recipe. Just be careful adding the frozen vegetable to hot butter that you don't get splashed with the sizzling.
I would not use canned corn for this recipe. It can get mushy and over cooked easily. It is best to use frozen corn when you're making fried corn.
