Get one (or a couple) of these for around twenty quid each. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/150413498565 and a Combination Microwave oven. Unless ye are a gormet cook, there is little else required.

I wired in an electric cooker the other weekend, just like you described. Triple checked everything and then checked it again but when I flicked the switch it tripped out. Went back and triple checked everything again to no avail so had to call a sparky. Turned out I'd been a little over zealous in making sure the wire clamps were tight and ended up with a split live casing so that the tightness meant that the earth and live were touching. Took the sparky 10 mins to sort out and that included the time taken to releive me of £40.

Previous regulations only required a 'competent' person. If you want to stay within the law, you have to pay someone for a few minutes work. On the other hand, there's not really anyone out there to stop you doing it yourself. -- MatSav
