Yes. Fresh is so much better than canned or commercially frozen.
During fresh corn season, I'll buy as many ears as I can stand to
process. Cut off the kernals and bag them one ear to a small bag and
freeze. Even 6 months later, that frozen corn is much better than what
you can buy as frozen corn.

As far as the "pre-cooked ham steak" that I mentioned above, I just
found it in the freezer to say what it is.

No specific cut mentioned. Just says ham steak.
8oz and 1/2" thick.
Smithfield Honey Cured ham - fully cooked.

Once thawed, I microwave it to hot (in steps) in a big bowl with a plate
lid to hold in the moisture. It's fork tender and very flavorful on it's
own.
