Cheap very cheap. Mine on maximum is 180 watts. On for 2 hours then goes down to low at 120 watts for about 6 hours. That's about 1kWh of electric. The oven has a 2.5kw element but it goes off and on to keep the temperature high. It uses about 2kWh over 2 hours. The hob ring is rated at 1500 watts but again does the same switching on and off. Maybe about 1.5kWh over a few hours keeping the lid on the pot and set to low.
My figures are estimates you need to get an energy monitor and try each one out for yourself.:footie:Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S)
Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money.

Thanks for the reply. The slow cooker is about half the cost of the oven by the sounds of it,,roughly. Just need to find out how much 1kWh costs now.0
