How much does a slow cooker cost to run?
A slow cooker could be a good investment as there are several benefits such as hand-off cooking and is designed to bring out the flavour of foods and make some meats tender.
They’re also great way to conserve energy as well as being easy to use.
It’s estimated that the average slow cooker uses roughly 1.3kWh over eight hours of cooking time.
So in order to work out the cost of making your favourite hot winter-time tea, you’ll need to do this equation.
The equation is: cost = power (kilowatt) x cost of one kWh (pence) x the length of time (just the one off meal, or over a week or month.)
For example, the Daewoo slow cooker would cost just 37p to run on low for eight hours.
