I like that - a very nice idea

Next up: some kind of sensor to alert me if I leave the kitchen with a
pan on the (hot) hotplate. I've ruined at least three frying pans


A smoke alarm fitted fitted inappropriately outside the kitchen door
(above the door) works fine. I have one that can be disabled for a couple
of minutes by pressing the corner of the casing which activates an
internal switch.

Example:

I think what is needed for kitchens is a more intelligent
smoke alarm that only alarms when there is no one in
the room. Trivially easy to implement.
