    Don't worry, that's just a live and you learn moment, not a reflection on you as a cook.:hug: Been there, it's why I don't bake without putting something on a cooking sheet under it or a rack below to catch anything that spills. Once it cools, you can clean it up, it'll be as good as new.

    :tinfoil:

    Boyfriend and I are cooking right now, and not twenty minutes ago, the same thing happened to us. Someone had left an oily pan in the broiler, and when the oven was pre-heating for the sweet potato casserole, it caught fire. We are also definitely not new to the kitchen.

    Thank goodness you are all okay!

    I caught a cake on fire once. The recipe said to use baking powder and self rising flour which I knew sounded wrong but I went ahead and followed the recipe anyway.

    it really does boggle my mind how much smoke came from maybe a cup of cake batter on my oven floor. Jesus.

    At least I'll probably get chinese food out of it, since I can't be in the kitchen right now to cook. Asthma is killing me right now.

    Probably the sugar and fat. That stuff burns pretty easy when on metal.

    At least you don't get drunk and put something in the oven, then pass out only to wake up to some clumps of black stuff in the morning. I still don't even know what I was trying to make.

    Also, pretty happy my oven has an auto-shutoff.

    Sometimes I make candied bacon for baked goodies, and one time it did not end well.

    To be fair... you put the fire out by yourself. The one time my brother caught the stove on fire he was with his girlfriend and screaming so I had to come over and put the fire out lol.

    My ex did this a few too many times, after I'd gone to bed. Used to scare the shit out of me.

    You should open the windows and then go outside so you can breathe some clean air for at least a few minutes to help out your asthma. That smoky air is tough to inhale. It's cold tonight too, should clear things up quicker tonight than other nights.
