People, be very careful about remembering to remove the cardboard bottom off frozen pizzas!
My Mom forgot to and the cardboard caught fire in the oven! The whole house stinks of smoke now. I was quick enough to fan the smoke out so that the fire alarm wouldn't ring.
BTW, what is the best thing to do when the oven catches fire? What about for the toaster oven? For a pot?
My first thought was to turn off the oven and then somehow stop oxygen from going into the oven. There isn't really a way to completely close air off to the oven is there? Thankfully the fire stopped on its own without burning the whole pizza...the pizza was actually still edible!
For a pot fire, one puts the lid on it right? Or use the fire extinguisher? I've never used a fire extinguisher before, but I've used on in my dreams before!
