Narrative:

Captain asked if the oven was on and they replied no. At this point we [advised ATC] and started to turn back towards [departure airport]. The captain ran the QRH checklist for fumes/smoke. At the same time I was flying the airplane and working the radios. We followed QRH procedures and landed with no issues. Crash fire was there to look over the airplane once off the runway.
