What does a 10 amp power source allow me to use ? Microwave ? Toaster ? I'm assuming don't use everything at once ?

Just check the power rating sticker on the appliance.
One thing to remember, a 700watt microwave oven takes about 1300watts, the 700watt is the cooking power

6 amp around 1300 to 1350 watts
10 amps is around 2300 watts
16 amps is around 3650 watts.

Total devices must not exceed 2300 watts on a 10 amp supply or it could trip the rcd.
