Unless you somehow know that stove was rated for a 3000W element, which
seems very unlikely, the answer is no. The wiring and other components
in the stove were rated for 2500W and 3000 can exceed the safe rating for
those. Possible issues with wiring to the panel and breaker too.

Can't she just cut 20% off of the 3000W element? ;-)


No, that would change the resonant frequency and set
up harmonics that would keep the neighborhood awake.
