Well, you can fix that using a screwdriver (and stepladder). Unscrew
the mount bracket from its present location. Find a spot on the wall
that you can reach. Screw the mount bracket ot the wall there.
There. Making it shut up when you cook is not just a matter of walking
over to it, detaching it, and temporarily putting it on a bookcase until
you're done cooking. Not turning it off.

The one that goes off at my house is 8' from the stove and oven. (The
others never do.) Even if it went off _every_ time I cooked, I would
just take four strides over to move it to a bookcase, four strides back
to the stove.
After cooking, four strides, move the detector, four strides. Barely
worth noticing.
In fact, that's what I actually do, every time it does go off from
(some) cooking. Not even tempted to switch it off, let alone the four
others elsewhere in the house.

I notice without objection that you've ignored my question.
