My landlords put my fire alarm like 10 feet from my stove. My apartment has almost no circulation so if i cook literally anything that makes a medium amount of smoke it goes off. Tonight it sent off them main one and evacuated my building at 1am. How do i combat this?

if it's connected to his building, assuming he actually "set off the main one and evacuated my building" they are wired installs.

burn the building down and make them rebuild it and this time with the smoke alarm in a different room.

Can't you just take the batteries out? Or better yet just call your landlord and ask if he'll move it

If there is enough smoke during cooking to set of the fire alarm you are doing something wrong. Also, if you already know it can go off from your cooking then why the fuck would you "cook" something that involves a "medium amount" of smoke at 1 a.m.??? Do you really need to be told to wrap that stupid thing in plastic when you are cooking? Jesus Christ ....

Op here. I was just cooking some marinated chicken breast in a pan with olive oil and then finishing it off in the oven. I had all my windows open while cooking. I didnt even burn it. I have no idea how that sets off a fire alarm

In your case it was tiny fat particles spread all over by the hot air rising, OP. I find those annoying little shits on my glasses whenever I fry something. Super irritating.

Alos, dont fucking fry with olive oil, use some high temperature cooking oil like canola.

Same, it's infuriating

Yeah, fire alarms are retardly sensitive even if you are cooking properly.

Unfortunately you can be blamed if there are any fires. If it is battery operated and removing the batteries doesn't make the thing beep because it's wired it, put some paper in interrupting power. If there is a fire it'll burn away and look like you had full batteries in it.

If it's just wired into the apartment then cover the thing with plastic wrap. If it still goes off then tie a piece of fabric over it with twine and then plastic wrap to insure it doesn't get heated.

Also if OP tampers with his fire alarm and gets caught he could be evicted or fined. The building I lived in last did a fire safety inspection like four times a year and that was something they always checked.

Legal obligation in all newbuild properties here in the UK. That said, the regulations are also sensible enough to tell you to use heat alarms in kitchens, which only go off if there's an actual fire, rather than smoke alarms.

>> No.11810809

Get a tupperware container and cut a hole in the lid big enough to go around the smoke detector, and fasten the lid to the wall with double stick tape or something. Then when you cook just pop the tupperware bowl over the detector. Wa la.

It's not about cooking at all. Mine goes off all the time when I toast bread, rarely does when I cook stovetop. Luckily for my neighbours I usually wake up around 4:30 and make my toast around 5 in the morning.

Wagie mad,
Makes me glad
I love expressing my wagie hate
With delicious digiorno's on my plate
Pizza, tendies, frozen fries
Open the oven and believe your eyes
Evacuate at 3 am, your lasagna makes wagie triggered then.
He shouts you out, begins to cuss "s-some of us have jobs." he says with gust.
And then just then you begin to smile, you say to wagie you havent worked in a while.
"I need my nighttime tendies wagie dear, I need my tendies from now to here, and even though they smoke, I will admit, at least I wont slough tired off to work, cause I quit,"
You begin to dab on the helpless wagie
His mind just gets flustered and hazy
He feels so stressed, his death is near

you're doing something wrong if your cooking is making smoke. Possibilities:
-you're using the wrong oil or fat to cook with
-you're setting the range too high
-your stove is dirty, and/or you're spilling things into the hob

Fix those problems and you should be fine. There should never be smoke while you're cooking unless it is deliberate.

Doesn't mean you have to cook late at night. Make the food in advance and microwave it.

Or just cook it without being a fucktard. I've often cooked shit in the middle of the night when drunk, high, or both and I've never set off the smoke alarm. As long as you don't make the 3 mistakes listed in >>11810940 then you're fine.

Nope.jpg. You can sear a steak without making any smoke. Heating your pan up beyond the oil's smoke point achieves nothing other than creating smoke. Use a thermometer if you're too much of a retard to figure this out on your own.
