Seems as if buying a battery operated unit makes sense but truly, Kitty, having worked for a manufacturer of smoke alarms at one point, you don't need to put one in the kitchen. Anything and everything can set them off and they become more annoying that they are worth. The theory is that if you are burning food, you are awake and know it so you can do something about it without being told by an alarm that there is a problem. Of course, you need to do what lets you sleep at night. The battery ones are pretty easy to install. A few screws and you're good to go.
