The thing is, ovens need a dedicated spur, directly back to the fuse box, for safety - when on they can pull a lot of power.

Trying to circumvent this and then using your solution could lead to an overload on the system.

If you need to cook full family meals in a full sized oven, then you can do a lot of research and still end up realising that you'll have to do it "the proper/safe way" and get a spur fitted.

You can do two pizzas in a mini oven - different shelves, just switch them over half way through. You could cook a yorkshire and roast (for two) in them if you get the right sized baking dishes that just fit. But if you end up having 2-3 appliances plugged in to achieve a full oven/hob effect then you might just find it all shuts down at the fuse box every time you want to do a big dinner.

Modern ovens use far less power - my own is about 1kW when the fan is on and both elements are on the go. It runs off a fused spur from the sockets ring. The hob on the other hand is another mater - that is on the dedicated cooker circuit.

I can do a large chicken, roast taters and yorkshire pudding in the Beko, in fact if I bought another wire tray/main tray can do even more. It is not a tiny mini oven. I use it mainly for the pressure cooker on the big hob.

That sounds good. Do you have any idea roughly what the internal dimensions are?

17" wide 12" deep 8" high.....good enough for Dr Who. Two runner grooves plus the oven floor. Grill element at the top.
When using the oven I cram in as much as it will take. Comes with a slide in baking tray and wire grill. Spare trays and wires about £7 or small trays with grill wire can be got from Bettaware.
Check sizes before buying.
Gonna do a chicken tomorrow plus liver plus taters plus sausages.

12" deep is pretty useless for pizzas

Scroll down to technical specifications, click on 'show more product details'.

It says 'able to be plugged into a 13amp socket'.

I havent looked at any others, but I'm sure there are more.

I do not see that the OP's proposal is any more dangerous than using a 3kw kettle.

Most single ovens should be fine and are fully acceptable for plugging in to a standard 13A socket. The one linked above from Comet is a good example, plus the other one from Ikea.
