Effects of sleeping in an apartment after a cooking mishap with the stove?

Asked by AshlynM (10684points) February 8th, 2021

Nothing caught fire, thank goodness. But I forgot about some rice and the pot started smoking horribly, probably because I had the lid on on high heat so it would boil faster.
The smoke detector went off but after fanning it with a towel, it shut up.
A thin wall of smoke drifted through the living room and kitchen, but I was able to get rid of it after swiping it with a towel.
I opened the door and the living room window and ran all fans. The smell isn’t as bad right now, but it’s still there.
Is it safe to sleep in a place after something like this?
There was no fire, just a light smoke and a terrible smell.
