One Benbrook resident’s simple dinner plan turned into a mini fire scare, and it all started with a frozen pizza and a piece of parchment paper.
It was a regular evening, the oven preheated to 450 degrees, when suddenly the parchment caught fire. No overhang, no touching the coils, just flames where there should’ve been pizza. Confused and caught off guard, the question quickly became: was it a fluke or a sign of something more serious?
Turns out, many parchment papers aren’t rated for temps above 425, something that’s easy to miss when trying to satisfy hungry kids and spouses. Neighbors chimed in with tips: some suggested switching to silicone mats, while others threw their vote in for air fryers to keep things quick and fire-free.
While no one’s ruling out the occasional oven checkup, this moment served as a reminder that even familiar kitchen routines can surprise you.
So, if you’re cranking up the heat for square Totino’s pizzas, maybe give that parchment a break or finally invest in an air fryer.
