Narrative:

On climbout we started to smell electrical burning or like an oven being cleaned. About that time the cabin crew called up and said that they smelled an electrical burning. 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.
