Depending on what kind of outlet you're talking about and what country you're in you may be limited in the power it will have. In the US at 110 V and maybe being able to pull 15 A (based on fuse for that circuit) you could only get 1650 W. A regular cook top or range is hard wired, has a much bigger fuse on they circuit usually 30 to 40 A and gets two phases so has 220 V which allows for much higher power output. My range's big induction burner has 3600 W for example so it's quite the difference.
I feel like kitchens might have 20A circuits. Regardless, I think the individual outlets are only rated 15A for the most part and I've never seen kitchen appliances use the 20A plug.
I'd install one 30A circuit, and one or two 20A circuit, each circuit with a single outlet.
If your house is older, you may not be able to support multiple induction burners outright as your wiring from the power company may be insufficient. You can check by looking for a main circuit breaker in your panel. If it is only 100A, you probably cannot support induction ranges. You would have to request new wiring from your power company, then also rewire a significant amount of your in home electrical. You can still buy the desktop singular ones though.
