No you should not do this as it will overload the socket circuit. An oven rated at 16 amps should be on its own circuit.

Hi Gilbert Have a look at the plate on the back of the cooker to see the power output in Watts or Kilowatts. If its under 3000w or 3kw it can be used with a 13amp plug.If not it will need its own circuit as suggested by Jonathan. Thanks Russ
