Never use aluminum foil in an electric oven to catch slpatter from pizzas or anything else. Use an oversized pan. The problem is that the foil or bits of foil may contact the element. This leads to degradation of the element and eventual "burning through" which results in arcing. Just like an arc welder, and dangerous. I speak from experience.
