Detectors in sleeping accommodation will be recommended to be smoke detectors as per bs 5839. They react quicker and alert occupant to enable quicker escape. Even if it was a heat detector it would only actuate upwards of 40 degrees or more. The chances of you heating to that would be slim. Even a rate of rise unit would stay dormant.
Some may even be carbon dioxide or monoxide combined units to detect products of combustion.
If there's shower facilities In the room or near the detector, it may be and Ionisation type to help prevent false calls from the shower. If its an optical unit, there might be a chance that cooking fumes could set it off.
So now that I've bored the its off you, what should you do.
As a fire enforcement guy,I say don't. If theres a call out, that's a pump that could be elsewhere. Brigades generally don't like unwanted signals and the hotel will take the rap and be very unchuffed.
If you are gonna do it anyway, my advice is open a window and cook near it, away from the detector. Fan out any fumes, fresh air in ad have an extinguisher nearby.
But do it outside might be easier. Seeing as that's what's Its intended for
