look it up in code book
NEC
SMALL APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUIT A circuit that supplies electrical energy to one or more outlets to which appliances are to be connected is called an appliance branch circuit. These circuits are not to have any permanently connected lighting fixtures that are not a part of an appliance. The NEC© states special requirements for appliance branch circuits. We will go over a few of these requirements. In dwelling occupancies, small appliance loads, including refrigeration equipment, dining areas, kitchens, family rooms, pantries, and breakfast rooms, should have two or more 20-ampere branch circuits installed (referred to as special-purpose outlets) in addition to the branch circuits previously mentioned. These circuits will have no other outlets except for clock outlets. At least two appliance receptacle branch circuits will be installed in the kitchen for receptacle outlets. In the laundry room at least one 20-ampere branch circuit will be provided. Again, always refer to the NEC© before installing any circuit or equipment to ensure you have the proper number of circuits needed and the correct size wiring and disconnecting means necessary for each branch circuit, appliance, and piece of equipment that you are to install

Most small appliances are rated below 1500 watts or basically 12.5 amp at 120 or below a 15amp circuit for safety against surges and spikes in electric.
anything higher will require a higher rated wire for higher amperage circuits. If the wire isn't big enough to hold the amperage, you will cause a fire potentially. I have seen many things done that work and have for years. This doesn't mean that they are safe to do.
Follow recommended amperage and wire gauge ratings according to NEC code.
