Our smoke alarm goes off when I am cooking bacon and sausage (and I am not burning it! :D.) I found that a quart size zip lock bag fits over it perfectly! The "zipper" holds it to the alarm and the rest of the bag just hangs there. I'll try to take a photo of this and post it later.
So before I cook breakfast I slip a zip lock on the alarm and cook in peace!
(I remove the zip lock after breakfast)
Happy Trails, Okie
Really? Why not just remove the battery or side it back about a 1/8 inch to so the contacts don't touch. Thats what we do. I leave the cover open as a reminder to re-activate it. No need to locate a bag and such.
We tried this once but putting the cover back on was not an easy task for DH. We have a cabinet right beside the alarm (at the steps) so I just put the zip lock on the top of the cabinet and it is right there for use the next time.
I took pictures of it this weekend that I will post today or tomorrow to show how it looks.
