Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })You're in the kitchen and need to kill someone? Open up the oven and shove them in!
It doesn't have to be a typical kitchen oven, either; depending on the setting, a less modern (say, cauldron over a fire) or more modern (say, microwave oven) alternative may be equally feasible. Rule of thumb: if it's traditionally used for cooking food, it fits this trope. If the cook himself is the victim, this overlaps with Death by Irony.
Compare Stewed Alive, Sauna of Death, Murder by Cremation, and Microwave the Dog. Contrast Locked in a Freezer.

Sten: the Emperor's personal chefs — the fluffy, snarky, alien, and very gay Milchen cooks—defend Sten by turning a sonic oven on one of the Praetorians and roasting him alive.

The villains attempt to eliminate Rebecca in the Talespin episode "The Balooest Of The Bluebloods" this way by tying her to a spit above an absurdly deep fire pit. She gets rescued after becoming no worse than uncomfortably warm.

Looney Tunes short "Holiday for Drumsticks". At the end the hillbilly family tricks Daffy Duck into a stove and tries to cook him alive. It doesn't work because he keeps blowing out the matches as the female hillbilly tries to light the fire.

Attempted in Deep Blue Sea; the cook takes refuge in an oven and the shark bumps the knob, turning it on. He appreciates the irony, but he manages to break free and use the gas to blow up the shark.

In the Action League Now episode, "Turkey of Terror", the Mayor traps the Action League (save for Stinky Diver, who doesn't believe he's gone good, and Justice, who has witnessed the event and brings Stinky his badge) in his turkey and attempts to cook it with them inside it. When Stinky finds out about this from Justice, he comes to the Mayor's mansion to battle the Mayor and save the rest of the League.

Slightly less famous example: in many versions of The Three Little Pigs, the third pig finally disposes of the wolf by placing a pot of boiling water in the fireplace while the wolf decides to make a chimney entrance. This trope ensues.

At the end of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Mrs. Lovett is thrown into her own oven to be burned alive after Sweeney learns that she had lied to him about the fate of his wife, whom he had unknowingly killed as the Beggar Woman just before taking final vengeance on Judge Turpin, out of a desire to have him for herself. It's also a double-dose of Death by Irony, considering that she had used that very same oven to cook the remains of Sweeney's victims as meat pies.

In Kick-Ass, when the Scar-faced villain uses a giant log microwave to blow up a Russian mobster. They chopped off a finger of and then Axe-murdered the other guy. There are no cliches in that film at all.
