We are in somewhat of a bind right now with no refrigerator and we can't do dishes in the kitchen sink because the metal pipe has rusted through. We had been eating a lot of fast foods, which is way too costly.
Tonight I decided to give something a try. I don't have to do it again if I didn't like the results, but I DID like the results! I opened the cans of what I wanted and found cookware I wanted to use. I added a couple of inches of water and turned on the flame.
I peeled off the can labels and sat them both into the water. In a little bit, it was heated to my liking. All I needed was to salt it and grind pepper over the top of the corn. I have no butter but it was tasty just the same. I spooned it all up on a Styrofoam plate and enjoyed!
I now have only ONE piece of cookware, which really just needs wiped out. There's only a large serving spoon that needs washed. I saved fuel. Instead of heating 2 pots of food, I narrowed it down to one!
I don't always use Corningware to cook in.I sometimes use metal. The cans are metal. Why not use them? As you can see by the image, possibly 2 more items could have been fit in. That's OK. I got full. It was just me tonight. I wonder what my son would think of this one?

Great idea for when you're in a bind but I would worry about using this cooking method all the time since cans have a film of BPA resins covering the inside.
Studies have found that "BPA exposure
may cause multiple health problems,
including reproductive disorders, diabetes and cardiovascular disease." They have also found that BPA levels rise in food when heated in a container made of BPA plastic. A lot of plastic products these days have a label saying BPA free but most canned food still uses the resin to coat their cans. The FDA has found that BPA used in this manner is safe but that is with the assumption that these cans are not being heated.
