If the total load of both appliances is = whatever the cooker circuit is
good for, you might be able to share it, but you really need to put a
junction box in that can cope with 3 cables (one in, two out) and split it
that way.
This would probably be my first approach if the existing feed is up to
it. Note that you can apply diversity to the loading from a domestic
cooker when calculating the total design load.
You might well need a second cooker switch, so that both devices have local
isolation (ie the cooker's gone badly wrong and you're stuck to it while
it's zapping you, it's nice to have a chance to reach the isolator switch).
Indeed - the switch must be within 2m if memory serves correctly.
