Gas cooker running costs - formula?

SorryToStay

Hello!

I have just moved into a flat (first time moving out of parents house) and we have just bought a gas cooker. I'm absolutely clueless with anything to do with appliances.

I am trying to figure out on average how much the gas cooker will cost to run.

Does any one have a formula for me to work with please?

I know the energy cost per kwh (its on a meter our gas) and the booklet for the appliance says the oven uses 3.3 kw but doesn't say in how long....

any help is appreciated,

STS



Edit - One more question I'm hoping someone could answer for me...

When we initially set up to receive a gas and electricity card from our supplier, we gave them a meter reading...then a couple of weeks later, the company also came to our door to read our meter. Do we still have to supply them with meter readings if we are on a pay as you go meter?

3.3KW would be over an hour, assuming the oven is on full pelt for the entire time (it won't be). Don't worry about how much energy the oven or hob will use, it's negligible compared with your heating and hot water.

You supply readings when you are on PAYG so you don't end up paying off the previous tenant's debt. Check you are with the cheapest supplier - you can switch.
