because they use a lot of electricity. the maximum current for a plug and socket is 3120 watts, 13 amp. a cooker in use exceeds this, mine is rated at 7400 watts (7.4KW), some may be even more, therefore requiring a seperate fuse and circuit. if you have an electric shower, you will notice that also has a seperate fuse, because they use around 8.5KW to 10.8KW, depending on the make and model.
