I'm guessing he was trying to boil water in a aluminium pan and forgot about it? I'm also guessing said roommate must have left, because a burning non-stick coating would be rather noticeable.
I mean, I did something kinda like that as a kid, I forgot a aluminium bottomed steel pan once and managed to melt the base (thankfully with no non-stick coating fumes).
Isn’t aluminum kinda bad too? Like it’s linked to dementia or something.
Really old research found aluminum in the plaques once, it was actually from contamination in the water they used to wash the brains for the staining agent.
There's no solid evidence either way.
IMO the biggest problems with aluminum is
- a low melting point :)
and
- It's reactive to high ph, so you have to be careful what you cook in it.

Aluminum vapours are toxic and deadly. Apparently they used to make tanks with aluminum, but then tankies who survived a direct hit inhaled some containing it and died from that instead.

Put a pot of water on to boil, turned the heating element on high, forgot about it. All the water boiled away, pan got hot enough to get soft and collapse.
Most stove tops can get hot enough to melt aluminum.
My guess is this person tried to boil some water and forgot about it. Without the energy bleed from steam the aluminum melted.
I’m guessing they forgot about it and left it on until whatever was in it boiled dry/burned off, and then heated the pan to the point it began to melt. I’d bet it took at least overnight if not through the weekend. Some pans will take longer to get to this state than others depending on what they’re made of.
The fact they didn’t burn the place down is sheer luck.

You win! Your roommate deserves some kind of prize, and you deserve a reward for putting up with them.
