Burnt an oat on electric stove on highest heat it was smoking from hob turned black directly inhaled around 5 mins opened window. can this cause cancer - the fumes were intoxicating and charcoal black?

A one time exposure of five minutes would not be enough to cause cancer. Opening the window was the right thing to do to limit the exposure. Good luck to you!
