    Especially if you forgot that “X” was still in the oven, for various values of “X”.

    Then again, a well designed smart oven might include a burn sensor that would shut the thing off if the smoke got too bad.

      Easy rule, don’t put anything in the oven that doesn’t belong in the oven. Plus it is a double oven, so I know the lower is always empty while there might be a cast iron in the top oven.

      IDK about smoke detection, but it does shut itself off after a certain amount of time. Years ago I had an ancient GAS oven that I forgot on for THREE DAYS at like 150. I think that was much more dangerous, lol. Those were the best damn pumpkin seeds I ever made though.
