Decided to try baking bacon, ala the cookingforengineers method of a very low (200F) slow oven, and couldn't see having the oven on for just that, so I threw in some unpeeled corn on the cob, potatoes, and an apple. All just about noon. Just had one of the ears of corn and it was very nice. Going to give it another fifteen and try a second one, because it could have been a bit hotter, but the taste was marvelous, and unlike corn in the microwave, I didn't burn myself trying to de-husk or de-string the cob. The potatoes are still hard and the apple is not quite soft enough yet...

But the corn, very nice after an hour and fifteen.

ETA: Corn even nicer after 2 and half hours, if you like it more soft than crunchy. I can see the low slow oven technique being useful in a big family gathering when you want to keep a lot of things warming in the oven and still have a few corners to spare.
