They are so lucky. I put my oven on the self cleaning mode a few weeks ago, and I had flames. Shut that puppy right down, didn't have any damage, but my house stunk for about a week.

Wow, scary. And to think this is how some people cook their lamb.

I think your always taking a chance when anything is 'self cleaning.' The one good thing about it though, unless the fire melts the locking device, it will be starved for oxygen which can prevent it from spreading.
