Question

What would happen if you put a golf ball in the oven for 5 minutes at 300 degrees?

Answer 1

I dunno... I'll try it!!

Jks.

My oven doesnt even go that high.

Answer 2

it would probably melt

Answer 3

if you cook a chicken for 75 minutes at least you be able to eat it

Answer 4

Some golf balls have a semi liquid/pressurized center so this could overheat and explode the golfball in your oven.  Not a fun thing to clean up.

They actually have golfball warmers or ovens, so golfballs are meant to withstand some heat... but not to the degree that you are suggesting.

Answer 5

See prior note about 200 degrees.  

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but 5 mins is not much time if you want to heat the core.  If that is your goal, then use water as it has a larger thermal mass.

BUT, at 190 the covers got really soft, so that is the limits of heating of balls.
