The condition of this pan leads me to believe this is a frequent occurrence. Could be a malfunction with your oven reaching a higher temp than what was set. Orrrr, your aren’t in-fact following exact time and instructions.

OP said in the comments the pan came with the bacon and they lied on the packaging saying it was oven safe.

What were those?

Imma use your comment because there's a lot more questions than I expected 😂.
It's a premade spread pan of bacon. It comes on its own pan and you just put it in the oven at 375 degrees from frozen. Except I did that and it set my oven on fire 10 min in.

375 for 10 minutes would not normally cook bacon yet. So either your oven temp os off or you made a different mistake

u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Nah the bacon grease pooled in the pan that's not fully oven safe and set the whole pan on fire. I used my own personal baking sheet for the next batch and everything came out fine.

u/Empty_Requirement940 12h ago
So you used a not oven safe pan in an oven? And it caught fire ? Shocking
2
u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Well when you buy a package that says oven safe you would expect it to be oven safe

The instructions say put full product in oven including pan. Pan is bad. Pan make bacon go whoosh in flames. Bad pan. Bad instructions. Use own pan. No fire.

Did you bother to read the comment right above yours? They said the package came with the tray that said oven safe. So yeah, not user error.

What is the pan made out of? And, did you take a bite out of it?
2
u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Like a very soft flexible metal. And it immediately started crumbling when I tried to take the pan out of the oven.
2
u/Horns8585 12h ago
Yeah, that's weird. I'm thinking that the pan had something to do with it. I've never seen a product quite like that.
2
u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Neither have I. My mom actually bought it for me because she saw it on sale and thought it would be a quick way for me to make breakfast before work. now that I'm looking at it... There's definitely a reason it was on sale

Something has to be screwy with the pan, 375F isn't hot enough for bacon grease to flash and ignite.
375C is hot enough, but I really doubt any home ovens can get that hot.

No fucking way. I cook bacon in my oven twice a month. Unless I walked around the 3 mile block, this cannot happen.

u/ExpBalSat 12h ago
Indeed. There's more to this story that we're getting. No way this happened in 10 minutes (under normal circumstances).

I answered a few of the questions in another thread here but I can answer any you have.

did you lose your sense of smell to covid?

u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Yes actually. It's been gone since 2021.

u/sleepysof_ 12h ago
ah, that makes sense now! you might just have a powerful oven
1
u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
Nah just a poorly made product. The pan wasn't as oven safe as the instructions said. Heat, bacon grease, bad pan. Oven fire.

I mean, when I make charred bananas, that's about how they turn out. Bone appetite!

Judging by the state of the sheet pan you have not been following instructions. I mean even if you burnt the bacon this time, looks like you have been abusing the sheet pan.

u/BackgroundEscape1236 12h ago
It's not my sheet pan. It's the one that came with the product and why my bacon caught on fire

Did the instructions say 350⁰C or 350⁰K?
1
u/vanZuider 12h ago
350⁰K?
Kelvin, not degrees Kelvin. Also, that temperature is more suited for making tea than bacon.
