Maybe these kind of things would do the trick?

Shove a few £50 notes under it,hahahaha. It should have levels underneath I know mine has along with other white goods which are free-standing.

Had aimilar problem with washing machine in daughters house (rocking and rolling)
She has now placed a sheet of plywood under machine.
Found easier to get the wood level on uneven tiles.
The washing machine feet were much easier to adjust on a flat surface.

I had this problem in a rented flat. The oven door was metal and swung right back to the adjoining kitchen unit so I stuck a magnet to the unit with Command fixings that peeled off easily when I left.

When the oven door was fully open it attached itself to the magnet, if you see what I mean.

We used to live in a 17th c farmhouse without a right angle in the place and we had wooden wedges everywhere under furniture etc.
But doesn’t your cooker have self levelling feet (I know my fridge does)

New cooker, old house, uneven everything, so I cant actually get the cooker to sit completely level, so if it looks nice and even the door just closes (obviously dangerous) and for the door to not close on me then the cooker looks ridiculous! Surely there must be something I can do to get it asthetically pleasing and safe, any ideas please. Currently needs 2 of us to get anything out of a hot oven!!
