Reminds me of the first Thanksgiving my MIL came to dinner. A pin prick hole in the bottom of my disposable aluminum roaster leaked juices and grease which caught on fire in the oven. Extinquished fire with baking soda, but still had to bake pies in the smokey oven. MIL was very gracious about the entire episode. No more disposable roasting pans for me after that!!!
