Wiring for new kitchen layout

Hi all,

I'm currently renovating our kitchen, with an adjustment in layout and as such changing a freestanding cooker (induction hob and oven rated at 10kW) to having a separate hob on an island, with two built in ovens on another cabinet run.

I have the dedicated 32A breaker and associated cable for the current cooker so I was going to use this for the new induction hob (6.5kW).

Likewise I have a dedicated 20A breaker which is for the freestanding fridge/freezer. This socket was already labelled as such when we moved in so I will use this for the new built in fridge and freezer.

The rest of the kitchen sockets are then on another 32A breaker.

I was wondering if someone could advise of the best way to configure the wiring for the 2 built in ovens? I thought that a built in oven could simply be 'plugged in' to a normal socket but as I am having a more detailed look I realise that it may not be that simple. Would the two ovens, plus other appliances on the same 32A breaker be an issue?

The two ovens would (almost certainly) be alright on the same 32A circuit as the hob; the cooker circuit - but not on the 32A circuit for all the rest of the kitchen sockets (if the ovens do not come with a plug fitted).

Thanks- makes sense.
