FAQs

How long should I cook corn on the cob?

A practical base range is 25-35 minutes at 200°C. Start checking a little before the end of the range instead of waiting for the last minute.

Why can the same food take longer today?

Because husk-on vs husked/foil, ear size, starting temperature can move the real finish time more than most people expect.

When should I start checking doneness?

Start checking a little before the end of the range, especially if the piece looks thinner or smaller than average.

Do I still need a thermometer?

Not always, but it can still help. For baking or lower-risk foods, visual doneness and texture checks are often the main signal.
