I am on record as hating lessons, e.g., you go over to smell a pretty flower whilst hearing a pleasant buzzing noise, then hornets sting you in the neck and you die. While dead, you think "ok, ok....I get it. Don't mess with buzzing noises near flowers." The lesson is overkill; you already got it.
CASE. IN. POINT: We roasted some chickens for B's family, gathered and visiting, and the disposable pan had a leak. Chicken fat ensued all over the bottom of our oven. We had had some whiskey, so it didn't occur to us that cookies in this oven might be a bad idea right now. I tried to put in the cookie pan, a plume of deadly smoke ensued, and I retreated. In the meantime, however, two cookies had fallen off and proceeded to kind of leak through to the bottom of the oven. Please reference the above picture to see the results: pure chicken-fat cooked cookies.
We did not eat them.
The next day involved a whole lot of me scrubbing before I ran the oven self-clean cycle, which immolated the remaining nastiness and replaced it with a fine layer of ash.
