My kids refer to the smoke alarm as "the tea alarm". As they are 3 and 5 it isn't cheek unfortunately. Of course this is hubby's fault. If only he'd fit a decent ventilation system!

According to building regulations, a smoke alarm should not be fitted in or near a kitchen. You should use a heat sensing alarm there. You should then have ionisation or optical alarms (at least one per floor and near every bedroom) interlinked and mains powered.

Christian this alarm is in the hall close to the living room door about 10 ft from the kitchen door. Must just have a smoky pan set or something. Cough.
