A new invention called a "Kitchen Smoke Detector". It will replace the ubiquitous but less-useful "You Are Using Your Oven Detector"

This exists now. New smoke detectors that are light-based are less sensitive to kitchen cooking smoke vs ionization based detectors.

When I bought a smoke detector a few weeks ago, they didn't even have any of the radiation based ones. Only photoelectric.

We already have that. Get a multi mode (thermal/particulate) smoke detector rather than the particulate based one..

In my house i have two types of smoke detectors.
In the kitchen and lounge area its a type that doesnt get triggered so easily with burnt toast I forget the specific type but they give us a warning by beeping first before triggering. If they start beeping and you open a window or reduce the amount of smoke, it wont trigger.
If smoke levels continues to rise then it will trigger and that then sets them all off as they are interconnected.
Everywhere else in the house they are more sensitive and I am pretty sure they call them photoelectric

I currently have a “You are using the stovetop” detector, and would love to replace it with a “Something is actually on fire” detector.
