A spokeswoman from Dorset Fire and Rescue Service warned against the dangers of leaving items to cook unattended.
She said: “Unfortunately it is very easy to leave cooking unattended and this is a perfect example of what can happen.
“Cooking can be extremely dangerous and we advise all residents to ensure that all cooking is carefully planned and managed.
“If you go out, you are distracted and certainly before you go to sleep, please ensure you turn off the cooker or microwave.”
