You usually do not plug an oven into a standard 230V socket in Germany. They are connected to 3 phase outlets with 400V and up to 16A, which is nothing to sneeze at.

3 phase for ovens? That seems totally overkill to me.

In France even though they're not usually plugged into a standard socket, all the ovens I've used ran on standard single phase current. Houses are almost never wired for 3 phase anyway.

Parent was talking about toaster ovens though, and those are (as far as I know) always plugged to normal sockets.

Isn't this the common thing in (most of?) Europe? At least here up north it seems to be the standard.
