Good one Mate - over here in New Zealand we use the old stainless steel beer kegs as a portable "HANGI", you can also buy 3 tier ones. Have you tried wrapping the sweet-corn in aluminium-foil and placing it on top of the other vegetables?? .
ps Hangi - is the traditional method of cooking used by the Maori of New Zealand.

That looks delicious!
If creamery cans are scarce, try one of these... http://www.ruralking.com/can-cooker.html I dont know where to find plastic mesh cooking baks, though.

Milk cans are hard to find,and are not cheap around these parts when you do,but this looks like a fine way to cook.
