I think this would be a great thing to not do.

Stove Master Power Switch

Easily ensure the stove is disabled

Many people worry about whether or not they left the stove on. What would be nice is a large master power switch for the stove that one can just flip off for the added piece of mind that the stove burners are disabled. For cheap apartments and the like, I foresee the stove outlets being wired directly through a 220 volt-approved light switch.

       There's a "Master Power Switch by the Door" post somewhere I'll look for tomorrow... same thing, basically except for entire house.   

       [edit] yup, that's it [phoenix]

       Did I turn off the master power switch?

       The flat I live in right now has an isolator for the stove. The flat I used to live in had one too. So did the flat before that. And my folks house has one.   

       I'm picking a pattern here.

       It is regulation, [Max]. Every stove in the UK has exactly this, or it should do.
