You can use basically any oven-safe baking dish that you have. This can be pyrex, mini nonstick loaf pan, cast iron skillet, foil muffin cup, ramekin, etc.
We used a ceramic pie dish for our Korean Cheese Corn recipe.
In Korean barbeque restaurants, they often use a foil muffin/mini loaf pan to cook the cheese corn next to the meats on the barbeque.
At other types of Korean restaurants, they will bring out a portable stove with a grill pan just for the cheese corn, or they will prepare it in the kitchen and deliver it in a sizzling hot plate.
Note 1. Limit the amount of cheese mix to between 1-2 inches depth. This will allow the cheese to melt evenly and thoroughly. If your baking dish is small and it fills up higher than 2 inches with this recipe, consider splitting the recipe into two batches or using a wider baking dish.
A straightforward recipe with immense satisfaction, you’ll find it hard to resist this sticky and irresistible cheese corn. The real question is: how far can you stretch the cheese?
