My son decided to help with ThanksGiving Dinner 2007. Luckily we caught it before too much damage was done.
We all eat WHITE meat, so I only bought a turkey breast roast rather then a whole bird. If anyone has ever bought the roast you know it comes tied up in a string net to hold it together. It is supposed to take about 3 hours to cook. So I popped it into the oven and went back to my desk.
About 20 minutes later the house started filling with smoke and the alarm was going off. I go running into the kitchen and there is smoke pouring out of the top of the stove. Yank open the oven door and its full of smoke. (no flames). Go and throw the back door open to get some air in there. Run back and grab the bird out of the oven, and the netting is completely charred.
My little helper had turned the oven over to BROIL.
