pasta el fumo
solution
Waited for couple to use stovetop for pasta cooking. They correctly activated stovetop burners only.
Pasta cooking progressed normally. I separately activated oven (different button). Couple did not notice oven was on—focused on stovetop. Stored items inside oven began melting.

pasta el fumo
result
Suspicious smell detected around minute 22. Oven opened. Fire discovered.
Couple panicked—genuinely confused about how oven turned on. Fire extinguished using wet towels.
All stored items destroyed (cake molds, plastic utensils, wooden spoons). Pasta overcooked during crisis and also ruined.

pasta el fumo
Kitchen filled with toxic plastic smoke. Couple argued about "who turned on the oven." Both insisted they only used stovetop. Both checked controls multiple times. No resolution. Smoke smell lingered for days.
Dinner cancelled. I remained uninvolved and undetected.
