Do you cook different things in the same oven??
That subject probably didn't make sense, but I couldn't think of a better way to put it.
I am making baked chicken for dinner. I am making banana bread for tomorrow morning. I am cooking them both at the same time in a 350degree oven. My friend said that she would never do this because they were "different kinds of things" and the chicken would smell banana-y and the bread would smell chicken-y. So, she would not bake, say, cookies and roast beef at the same time.
I am  over this. How do you ladies feel on this matter?

I don't, but I have a double oven so I don't HAVE to. I usually will cook parts of the same meal together. If I am cooking steak on the top rack, I will throw asparagus or potatoes on the bottom rack. I feel the same way your friend does about the flavors melding (though it may not have any validity to it lol).

Same for me. I don't do it because I don't have to.. but I don't like the idea of the scents/flavors meshing. I'm weird like that!

I do, but I don't think I would cook a dessert with dinner in there... I would think the flavors my chicken would get in my cookies!!!

Re: Do you cook different things in the same oven??
Aside from the flavor, baking is going to get thrown off if there's something else (esp as large as a chicken, not just an extra loaf of banana bread or extra sheet of cookies)...the heat doesn't circulate the way the recipe intends it to. Normal cooking I always put multiple things in together, but meat/veggies aren't delicate liked baked goods are.
