If a refrigerator, microwave, large toaster oven, deep fryer, blender,

What should be the maximum number of wall plugs on one breaker?
Should the overhead light be on a different breaker?

There's a break in a wire that's knocked out all power in the kitchen.

Three minimum
one for lighting
one for refrigerator (and not a GFC)
one for all the rest.
I recently rewired my kitchen to put every single appliance on it's own
circuit. (Plus a few spares)
For me it was an easy job as my 200 amp panel had plenty of spare slots
and it is directly beneath the kitchen


I guess it's a good thing I bought the new breaker box with 20 slots. I'll take your advice and put them on separate breakers.
