Notes
Personal Testing Note (Prep): Hand-cutting kernels off the cob gave a fresher bite than frozen.
Personal Testing Note (Cooking): A quick 30-second bump to medium heat reveals natural sweetness without scorching.
Personal Testing Note (Storage): Stir in a splash of milk before reheating to restore the silky sauce.
