Keep the house well ventilated (fans on, windows open, doors open, etc).
Bring a pot of water and vinegar to boil, then let simmer. Be sure to refill when it starts to get low.
Try also wiping your cupboards, counter tops, etc, down with vinegar or a vinegar water mixture.
- Slice an onion open, it may make your house smell like onions but it should absorb the smoke smell.
- Wipe things (cupboards, counters, etc) down with vanilla.
Yes, acrylic plastic can be melted. It has a relatively low melting point compared to other plastics, making it easy to shape and mold when heated. However, caution should be taken when melting acrylic as it can release toxic fumes.
To melt plastic for molding effectively, use a heat source like a melting pot or oven to gradually heat the plastic until it reaches its melting point. Stir the plastic to ensure even melting and avoid overheating, which can cause the plastic to burn or release harmful fumes. Once melted, pour the plastic into a mold and allow it to cool and solidify before removing it from the mold.
Inhaling fumes from a melted handle on a pan can potentially be harmful, as it may release toxic chemicals into the air. It is best to avoid breathing in these fumes and to ventilate the area well to prevent any adverse effects on your health.
Buy a new element.
Yes, burned plastic on a stovetop can release toxic fumes that are harmful to inhale. It's important to ventilate the area, turn off the heat source, and let the plastic cool before attempting to clean it to avoid further fumes.
It depends on the type of plastic, how hot the oven was when the plastic melted, whether and how the oven was cleaned, and other factors. Some types of plastic do give off toxic fumes when overheated, and those fumes can possibly leave toxic residues in an oven.

Melted plastic is generally non-toxic and usually a pain to remove. It is generally disposed of as trash, as it cannot really be re-used. If it's hot, it is hazardous as it can burn you and tends to stick to skin and materials. In that light, it is dangerous. Melted plastic is the material used in injection molding. That melted plastic is not "bad" as it is being used for a purpose (the manufacture of goods).
Yes, melted plastic can hurt you. The primary danger is from a burn. Melted plastic is hot, and it tends to stick to skin and clothing. It is exceptionally dangerous stuff in that regard.
Plastic is always going to be plastic. When plastic is melted it becomes hard.
Melting plastic is tricky because you can easily char or burn it and can be dangerous because of the fumes released when the plastic melts. Also, different materials melt at different temperatures which can also make it difficult. If you have access to a pottery kiln, you could try putting the plastic in a kiln-safe container and melting it that way. However, it is unknown what will happen if you do so. Either way, I would not suggest melting plastic at home, just re-use it for something else or recycle it.
Ammonia is not a cleaner we'd choose to remove plastic from surfaces. It (ammonia) won't dissolve or "melt" the plastic, so it is ineffective in removing melted plastic from surfaces.
You can get rid of petrol or gas fumes by opening windows and running fans in the area where the fumes are located. You can run the fans so that they face outward and pull the air out toward the outside of the building.
The industrial shaping of melted plastic is almost exclusively done in molds. The process is called injection molding. A screw drives feed stock through a heater, and the molten plastic is forced out the "business end" into molds. It is possible to mold plastic by hand, but precautions absolutely must be observed. The plastic is hot and the fumes given off by hot plastic are toxic. Additionally, heating the plastic is something that must be carefully done as you can overheat it and pyrolyze the material. You can also cause it to catch fire. If you are not at ease with any ideas here, you should not be trying to mold melted plastic. Set yourself a learning curve and get up to speed before attempting anything like this. Safety is your first mission.

Yes, it is dangerous to have melted aluminum foil in the oven as it can cause a fire or release toxic fumes.
Smoke or gas let off by a melted plastic spoon is toxic and should be avoided. The cooled plastic can be disposed of in the trash in a normal way.
