I'm cooking two dishes that need to cook at different temperatures in the oven, what do I do?
For dinner tonight, I am making roasted corn on the cob and some roasted broccoli as well. However, the two recipes I am using call for the corn to be cooked at 350 degrees while the broccoli is at 425. I've heard of people roasting corn at 450, but I've never tried it. Should I cook them both at 425? Any advice is appreciated!

Neither broccoli nor corn is going to be all that picky regarding oven temperature, you'll be fine just splitting the difference. Since corn is the less picky of the two items, I'd go 400F. Expect the broccoli to take slightly longer than the recipe, and the corn to take less time. But don't make yourself nuts about it. Neither corn slightly more done than the recipe expects nor broccoli slightly underdone is going to ruin your meal. Don't overcook your broccoli though! BLECH!

What to do if you need to cook two things at different temperatures?
If one dish needs to be cooked at 350 degrees F and another at 400 degrees F, set the oven for 375. Most ovens are off by about 25 degrees anyway, so as long as it's set around the required temperature, the dish will turn out fine. Arrange the dishes so there is enough space between them.Can you cook 2 different dishes in the oven at the same time?
Can you cook 2 or more dishes in the oven at once? Yes. Most people fret when it comes to cooking two dishes at once, but it's your oven's job to keep the internal temperature set to what you selected. It may have to work a little harder when two or more cold dishes are inserted but trust that it will do its job.How do I cook things in the oven with different temperatures?

Use the original cooking temperature called for in the recipe when using one larger pan. When cooking two pans at the same time, raise the temperature by 25 degrees from what was called for in the original recipe. Cook Time. Rarely will the cook times be twice that of the original recipe.Kendrick Lamar - i (Official Video)
