Cooking stove top electricity usage

What is electricity consumption of average/common cooking stove top?

Food can be heated or cooked on an electric stove top burner, which commonly rests on top of the oven and has four heating elements—often two small and two big. A stovetop can consume as little as 1000 watts of electricity or as much as 3000 watts with a bigger heating element. We estimate that a typical modern stove top element will consume about 1500 watts per hour of heating on medium to high, but a stovetop may not utilize all of the full rated power but may heat up until it reaches a defined temperature.

To determine the energy usage of a single stovetop burner utilizing 1500 Watts for 2 hours per day at a cost of $0.10 per kWh, click calculate.

Kilowatts per dayhelp Here you will see a value for how much energy (in watts, kilowatts or megawatts) the device will consume per day if it is used for the time you specify. The formula "Hours used per day" × "Power use" is used.:

Watts Kilowatts Megawatts

Hours Used Per Day: Indicate the average number of hours per day that the device is used. If the daily power usage is less than one hour, enter the number as a decimal (for instance, 30 minutes a day equals 0.5).

Power Use (Watts): Type in the watts that represent the device's typical power use.

Price (kWh): Enter the price per kilowatt hour you pay typically; our calculators use a default value of 0.10 (10 cents). Check your power bill for the precise cost.

Heating water with an electric kettle is one way to decrease the energy used for cooking. A kettle uses about 2000 watts of power, however, because the heating element of the electric kettle is in direct contact with the water, it is made to heat water more quickly than a metal pot on the stove. Therefore, use the kettle first before adding the water to the pot if you need to warm it for cooking. Less use of the stovetop will result in a reduction in energy use, but takeaway and prepared dishes may not be the healthiest option and can be fairly expensive.
