Notes
- Use frozen or fresh corn: Frozen is easier (no cutting cobs) and fresh works great if you want to do the extra prep.
- Cast iron for crispy edges: Any heavy skillet works but cast iron is ideal for those crispy edges.
- High heat is key: Don't be shy, the corn needs a hot skillet to get those crispy spots.
- Don't stir too much: Let the corn sit and develop crispy edges before stirring.
- Refresh with butter: Add a bit of butter when reheating for the best fla
