Every once in a while, even a slow
person like myself stumbles on something that works a lot better than
what was working for them before!
Since I began using a Duxtop
induction stove top along with a Calphalon
10” stainless steel frying pan and Le
Creuset two quart round Dutch oven, I've been a happy camper!
Between these three kitchen items, I've been able to make most of my
meals without having to resort to using the stove top at all!
I got hooked on the induction cooking
concept when I learned that not only was the temperature control very
precise, it was also extremely efficient power wise. How efficient?
Well the previous month I used only 5.0 kWh or about sixty one cents
worth of power to make almost all my meals. Between the Duxtop
and the microwave, which used about 5.5 kWh's, my total for cooking for the month
came to just $1.26!
That was last month and I had not answered my need to cook 'oven type stuff', deferring instead to visit fast food emporiums. So, this month, I
added another great watt killer device known as a Breville
convection oven to round out my occasional need for baked, roasted or seared
food. As of December the 8th, and after baking numerous
chickens, baked potatoes and cookies, I've used a mere 3.27 kWh's or
about forty cents! If I were to trend these three appliances out; my
total electric cost, for a whole month, would come to 23.6 kWh's! That's a
minuscule $2.89 for the entire month and we're talking three course
meals, each and every day!!
