Smoke alarms are supposed.to be replaced every ~10 years. If it’s changed colors you need a new one.
Drop ceilings can also cause this. If the entryway to your kitchen has a dip down then it keeps all the smoke and moisture.in the kitchen rAther than dissipating.
Either move the detector to the other side of the dip or buy a new one and it’ll let you get a few more years off one super sensitive like that.
Clean them with canned air spray, a vacuum, or electric duster as well. Dirt already trapped inside can make it already sensitive.
I get self conscious when my smoke alarm goes off which seems to be every fuckin time I open the oven with something in it even with the fan on.
I’m worried my neighbours are like “ah yes there goes moistclump cookin again.”
Sounds like your oven could use a cleaning! Fire up the self-clean and burn all that stuff off, setting off the smoke alarm one last time!
If it’s the old style radioactive kind they get more sensitive with age.
So just like my neighbors
