I also have AMC pot but don’t know how to use. Can you tell me how to use it to stream the sweet corn?

Thank you.

Hi Shax2, so far, I have only tried the Del Monte brand before. It’s not bad to me. If you want more economical, you can buy frozen pack. I use normal butter people used for baking. I think you can try creamy butter too.

Hi Wiffy,

Thanks for sharing this recipe with us. I can finally cook this for my girlfriend who always seems to have unlimited cravings for cup corn. The standard $2/cup selling in the streets may not be worth it in the long run. So once again, thanks for sharing your recipe.

Just some side questions to Wiffy or anyone who has tried out this recipe:

Any recommendations on the brands of kernel corns or butter to use?

I know there are Del Monte and Ayam brands but are there any better brands?

There are tons of butter brands out there but which is the best for making the cup corn? (I know the streets uses Panta brand)

Please name brands easily available in NTUCs or Cold Storage.

Thanks! ;)

Now this is my kind of recipe…..it doesn’t get any easier then this! :XO: As usual, I love your choice/color of ware and arrangement for the photograph. Was this all natural lighting? (I can’t remember what you use for lights.) Looks great! :up:
