A very big No!!
Your probably blow the meter off the wall, there would also be a strong risk of fire, cookers have a dedicated circuit.
According to the wire tables published in the regulations for electrical installations, where twin sheathed cable is used, the 6mm2 conductor size is suitable, when supplied with a 30 amp fuse or MCB.
