A ceramic hob will have a load of 8-10 kw. (33- 42 amps) and will not work from a socket. It needs to be wired to a 32amp exclusive cooker circuit with 6²mm cable, and an DP. isolator.

NO! this has to be on a fuse of it own and the fuse as to be 30am also the cable as to be 6mm or 10mm, you must NOT put it in a 13am power socket.

if you could simply plug them in there would not be any point having cooker sockets!!!!!!
it would work in a normal socket but you will eventually cause a fire or damage the electrics in the whole house. your house insurance will be invalid as well. get smart, get it done properly!!!!

i dont think the fuse box to the plug will take the load ! which is why you need heavier cables etc
