Narrative:

Flight from jax to mem. Climbing through FL200, lead flight attendant came to the cockpit and reported the #2 oven was filled with smoke when he opened it. He reported that he immediately turned oven off and pulled the circuit breaker and the smoke immediately dissipated. I checked to make sure there was no smoke. Did not declare an emergency and felt there was no further problem and continued to mem. Smoke did not smell electrical. Remainder of flight uneventful. Made a maintenance logbook entry in mem.
