It would need to be a pretty sophisticated smoke
detector, since there are a lot of vapors wafting
around in a microwave that might set it off
prematurely. |
|
| |
Or alternatively a very basic one, which detects the smoke
particles blocking out light. |
|
| |
Whatever's cooking may emit steam, vapourised fat (which cools into droplets), even a little "normal" smoke. An ionisation detector won't be suitable, optical detectors will rapidly become contaminated and useless. This would be a serous technical challenge. |

An optical smoke detector with a wiper (like a windshield wiper?) :) |

//with a wiper// with a ship's clear view screen, surely? |
|
| |
Can we add a metal detector? |
|

Partially baked with a certain toaster, I saw a program about the making of it: a smoke detector pops the toast up when it detects a set amount of smoke, sensitive enough to select the right shade of brown. |

I would suggest that [Joolin]'s observation is the reason these don't already exist. |

[Mitxela]'s observation suggests otherwise! |
