Putting my pickle in the oven.
So I have two different foods that I want to oven. One is frozen dill pickle chips which requires the oven to be preheated to 450 degrees. The other are some Pillsbury cross-ants and for that the oven needs to be preheated to 350.
I only have one baking sheet/tray because up until now I've relied mostly on what comes from cans and jars and/or can be blasted with microwaves. So what's the best way to go about this? How long do I have to wait (or do I have to wait) before preheating the oven for the second product. Should I wait for my tray to cool off fully? Should I wait for the oven to cool down?

If your pan is still super hot by the time the oven hits 450, wave it around a little, but it shouldn't really change how you cook the frozen pickles.
edit - If you have to go the other way around, cook the 450 stuff, then turn off the oven and leave it open for 5-10 mins, that should get enough heat out so you can hit 350 from the low temp side.
As for the pan, after it has cooled a little, you can run water over it to get it back down to normal temp. Careful with this strat though, don't hit it with water until it has cooled a bit (the 5 to 10 minutes should be fine).
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to check what temp the oven is currently at. All I know is: I hit BAKE, set the temperature to what I want (default is 350 but I can increment by 25 degrees), and then hit START. A counter counts down from 10 minutes, which I imagine is the preheat period. Beyond that, I am confused. I guess going from 350 to 450 will be a trial for me.
I guess I should cook 350, take the stuff out, shut off the oven, and then immediately turn it back on using the 450 start option?
What ForceVoid said is good as any. 450 to 350 won't take long; few minutes with the door open.
Like real advice is buy a cheap coil spring thermometer and toss it in your oven. Most of the time the settings on ovens kinda lie. Well they all lie because ovens turn on and off to average to the set temperature, it's just some lie way more than others. If yours is saying that it always takes the same preheat time regardless of current temp it is definitely all about those lies.
They're pretty popular in the south.
When you and I think pickles, we're thinking dill spears, and wonder what kind of monster would bake a pickle. But then you just need to realize it's Drez, and that should answer your question.
Pretty tasty stuff with a light beer and a warm summer breeze. Not sure I'd ever make them at home but they are pretty tasty with ranch or dill sauce.
