if the cooker was switched off at the time.. you've got a dead short to earth.... switch off the mains and get a look around the back.. look for a frayed wire touching the frame of the cooker.. theres a box that the wires go into at the back.. check that the wires aint touching together. but make sure the electric feed is switched off before you touch it again
your problem is the plug or the socket is going to earth.get some one who knows about these things.you should never mess about with electrics.
Sounds like you have an RCD somewhere which is detecting a leak to earth. Did you spill any water in/around the cooker yesterday?
Turn the cooker off at the wall switch and leave the oven doors open to dry off.
