scrawled:

Is this some sort of GFCI breaker? Sounds like the cooker is finding another
path to ground. There is not any way to damp this you should either find the
fault or you could replace the GFCI breaker with a norman one. Probably not
a good idea since you say wires are scorched though. GFCI breakers monitor
the current going out on the hot wire and current returning on the neutral.
They are designed to shut off when the current supplied is not returning on
the neutral and is returning to ground somewhere else.

Hmm, mainly pointless for uk.d-i-y.

Exactly what kind of cooker is this?

I would assume a UK one.
