Need a single oven that runs from a socket

MouldyOldDough · 2023-06-29 09:27:58

We need a replacement oven that plugs into a wall socket - our Bosch died last night (so looking for another brand) - we have no oven wiring in the kitchen Samsungs require hard wiring as do AEG - Currys do not make it obvious which ovens are suitable Any advice please ...

I wouldn't worry about all the scare stories of ovens on 13A plugs. The whole point of the 13A rating when the plugs and sockets were intriduced was that it would be able to deliver 3kW.
My oven only takes about 10 to 12 minutes of full power to heat up. After that, it's cycling on and off, giving plenty of opportunity for the plug to cool down again.

If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.
