  • I've previously put a 16A rated oven on a 13A plug (and fuse) and it ran without any problems for years.
    Not attempting any of that on a 7.4kW hob, but I got lucky getting a badly listed but brand new £900 Bosch hob for £200 on eBay so I'll store it for now.

  • That is a monster hob. The 16A rating of the cooker would probably only come into play cooking christmas dinner or similar.

  • I think that's pretty common now. My new hob is 7.35KW and a lot of the others I looked at were. On mine a "ring" can draw 3.2KW on boost so hitting that suddenly becomes not that outrageous.
