Sure.  But you still have to provide 65 amps at greater than 11.5
volts.  It's a 450-watt (output) oven (older home units tended to be around
750 watts I think; our current Sharp is 1000 watts).  If it has multiple
"power levels" i.e. duty-cycle settings, it would draw this much
intermittently and a much lower amount (?15 amps??) in between.  Same for
the AC-powered ones.
