I have one of those devices that tests how much electricity you use. So yesterday, I fixed a roast and potatoes in the crock pot.
I wanted to see how much it would cost to run the crock pot all day. I cooked the roast for about 10 hours and it used 1.4 kilowatts, which here, cost about 14 cents. I found that pretty reasonable!
The braves won 2 games in a row; I had a no spend day yesterday, plus I had a no use gas day. I will add $5 to my challenge money.
Prev. total $18,184.00
today 5.00
new total $18,189.00

I wonder what it would be to run the oven for that amount of time. Probably 10 times as much.
Thanks for the info. I'm happy my dinner is being cooked slowly and cheaply as I'm writing this
