Best ways to use household appliances
Experts at The Energy Saving Trust have found the most efficient ways to run different cooking appliances so you don’t need to spend more than you need to.
Ovens are generally bigger than other cooking appliances, meaning they require more energy to heat up.
This means a typical electric oven can be the most expensive cooking appliance to run, according to the Energy Saving Trust.
If you used your for an hour on every day of the year, this would add a shopping £98.55 to your energy bill.
But of course, how much an appliance costs to run on which model you have and how often you use it.
But the experts say their larger size means you can fit a lot of food in at once, making them great for batch cooking or cooking for a big group.
Make sure you avoid opening the door more than necessary while the oven is on to keep in hot air and keep costs as low as possible.
