I wonder how many fires have been started because people left the pizza box in the oven while trying to keep it warm (leminal.space)

I've seen a few people put their delivered pizza in the oven after everyone grabs a piece to keep it warm. I've also seen a lot of those people forget the pizza is in there and either have to throw it out or only noticed after they preheated their oven.

Cardboard burns up pretty quickly. I would think the fire would be contained in the oven no?

Look at Mister Moneybags over here with his heat proof oven.

What's next, you're going to tell us your freezer keeps ice from melting?!

Last time I set an oven fire there were flames licking up and out of the vents on the top, along with a lot of smoke. I wasn't sure if opening it to get the flaming nachos out would give it more oxygen and bigger flames. It did not, but I had the fire extinguisher ready when I opened the door.
