Just as a point of information, those bayonet fittings behind the cookers are not for the general public to connect or disconnect their own appliances despite it seeming to be the obvious reason for them.
You need a gas safe engineer to install or disconnect an appliance even using the bayonet and they will carry out a drop down test on the whole installation once the work is done in order to check there are no leaks.
Carry on as you wish but know that you can be prosecuted if the worst happens. (which it probably won't). In the case of the leaking cooker you would have justification for unplugging the bayonet and calling a gas safe engineer as it would clearly have been a safer route than whatever else you have been trying!
