Couple of things on the sensitivity of fire alarms. I know they are made to detect the slightest smoke, even before we see it, but ours often goes off when I make muffins and a slight drip of the batt...

Thank you for all the feedback!
Michael - great idea. I have those shower cap looking food covers that I can use and Ava - good idea to put a note or hang something on it so that I remember to remove the cover.
DutchmanSport - I tried to remove the batteries and it beeped like crazy, sending my little Mica into a frenzy, so I abandoned that idea.
NanciL - we have a 35' fifth wheel and the fire alarm is mounted on the ceiling at the top of the stairs between the kitchen area and the bedroom. Seems like a good location for its purpose but what a pain when it goes off.
3oaks - we too have a Fantastic Fan in the area directly above the kitchen, but on a 31 degree morning, I didn't want to run the Fan and suck out all the warm air. I already have one window slightly open for venting purposes when cooking. DH ordered a batter powered fan that we are going to mount on the pantry shelf directly opposite the fire alarm and aim it at the thing when I'm cooking. I like the cover idea though.
rockhillmanor - poor baby! The last thing I want to do is create a conditioned response with Mica, so maybe I'll take the toaster back. For the number of times we would use it, it may not be worth it after all.
