I'm assuming that you have a detector in or near the kitchen that's the problem. If so, I'd just disconnect it. If that somehow disrupts the circuit of con
nected detectors, I'd try covering the vent holes in the cover of the detector with tape, shutting off the flow of air to the internal chambers of the detector.[/QUOTE]

Please don't tape over s smoke detector. Tampering with a smoke detector could be a crime if charged for reckless endangerment to property. You not only endanger your own property and life, but also your neighbors' and the firefighters. You likely invalidate your homeowner insurance if there is a fire and the smoke alarm did not go off because of actions you took.
