I've had the fire alarm (residential fire alarms) go off 7 or 8 times from using Silpat Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mats. It has happened in two different kitchens. It seems unusual because there is no visible smoke - although, the fire alarm obviously detect something.
I am baking below 400 degrees F, well below the stated max of around 485 F. One oven had a independent oven thermometer - so I know the temp is not way off. It happens almost every time I use them and has occurred in two different kitchens (and fire detectors) now.
Has anyone experienced this with baking mats, or other silicone cookware? It seems like a weird issue given no visible smoke.
