[Solved] Induction Hob & Oven: Avg. Monthly Electricity Consumption and Costs Explored

Hello. I would like to know how much electricity is consumed on average by an induction hob with an oven per month. Of course, if someone has only an induction hob and has information about the average power consumption, let him write it. Why am I asking this question? I am curious how much is the monthly cost of a user of an induction hob with an oven.

It is impossible to give a precise answer to this question, because the cost (electricity consumption) of cooking on an induction hob will directly depend on the time and method of use. You haven't given any details, and especially it's not known what devices you are going to analyze.

It is more likely to compare the possible costs with a functionally similar resistance or gas plate. As an indication, you can also use the free "energy cost calculators" available on the web, where you can enter the power of the devices and the average time of their use.

In fact, it is difficult to determine what power a single induction field has, because the manufacturer wrote that the maximum power of the device is about 10.8 kW (with the oven on and 4 induction fields).

I think I use two fields optimally (1 large, 1 smaller for about 1.5 hours each).

I had the opportunity to change from the gas cooker to 11 kg cylinders for induction. Applications after six months, the cost of the cylinder, i.e. PLN 50 (enough for about a month), was transferred to the electricity bill. The speed of cooking and cleaning is a strong plus for induction. I have a bad experience with a gas oven (you can't bake it, you can possibly grill something).

What about the electricity bill?

It was about PLN 70-80, now it is PLN 120-130.

How much time do you spend cooking each day?

Maybe an hour on induction everything goes faster. And I had a problem with my wife, because every now and then something burned, but now we have learned how to operate the power so that it would be ok. Everything just happens faster on induction. In addition, I changed the old gas kettle to an electric one, because the induction of electricity and the wireless will turn off itself.

You still hardly reveal important information, but we already know at least that it's a full-length album. And it is highly probable that you use the so-called "strength". When asking a question, it is worth starting with providing as much data as possible - this way you will receive a precise answer.

The cost seems a bit on the low side. This "transfer" was made about six months ago with friends. A full-size plate of similar power, meals prepared mainly at home will give a family of three, plus sometimes guests. Water for coffee and tea is also boiled on induction (because it is healthier, cheaper and more convenient). After a period of chaos, the costs stabilized after two months as the housewife had mastered the cooking technique on the new appliance. Currently, depending on the period, the increase in the amount on the account compared to the previous ones ranges from PLN 90 to over PLN 150 per month. The last, very high bill (PLN 178) probably includes holidays and the New Year period, when there was much more cooking. Of course, there were also other increases in consumption at home for the holidays (more light, more media devices and Christmas tree illuminations), but these values are small compared to an induction hob. Before installing the induction, the bills were quite stable and oscillated around PLN 60-65 per month. Currently, after the installation of induction, the monthly bill averaged over the last four months is PLN 178.20.

The question is whether the bill is based on a forecast or actual consumption. PS boiling water on induction is not cheaper (induction efficiency plus kettle losses), it may be healthier. You boil water in a metal kettle, not a plastic kettle.

There are studies where induction cooking is cheapest.

In fact, I want to compare the cost of using an induction cooker with an oven to a regular gas cooker with an oven. Is the price of using an induction similar to the cost of using an ordinary gas cooker (of course let's compare cooking the same dish on two different cookers)? I know that induction hobs are economical hence such a large price to buy this cooker.

Almost perfect taking 1.16Wh per liter and K.

How much electricity does cooking use?

Yes, I know I asked a bad question ...

Preparing the same dishes cannot be compared, because both kitchens work very differently. There are various calculations in the network and more and less similar comparisons of costs on both devices. Most reports show that cooking with induction will be more expensive, although the difference in costs is not overwhelming. However, it must be taken into account that so far the costs of gas in relation to electricity are getting lower. And the following years seem to point to further strong increases in electricity prices. What will happen to the gas? It is not known.

Apart from the cost issue, however, both types of kitchen are used in a completely different way. As for me, the other differences are much more important:
- cooking time (usually faster on induction and slower on gas),
- microclimate at home (induction is emission-free when it comes to exhaust fumes),
- cookware (gas cooker accepts almost all pots, induction only suitable ones),
- electromagnetic smog (gas does not cause this type of pollution),
- security (here probably the induction wins?)
- purchase cost (apart from Solgaz plates, the purchase and installation costs of gas cookers will be lower),
- taste qualities (this is a very individual matter, but for me, gas wins in this area),
- reliability (again if it happens, but ... probably with an indication of gas)

But the choice is yours

I have been using a whirlpool hob with 7200W power for three months I have been boiling normal as before on propane gas (cylinder) family 4 people consumption is about 1kWh per day ? this is not an estimated value before the plate I set up a sub-meter so I know what I am writing ?
PS
Update
298 days of use of the board and the counter reading 360 kWh
360 kWh: 298 days = 1.21 kWh / day

I, too, prefer to smell gas rather than electrocute. And the serious differences in taste are due to the speed of cooking. On induction, it is easier to burn something and you cook the dish faster, which does not give you time to release the aromas of herbs and spices. You can also cook using induction, but the gas hob forces it.

As the topic of cooking has already appeared, I will mention that we will get big savings by cooking in pressure cookers.

It is worth adding that the savings will appear regardless of the chosen method of heating this vessel.

In my case, the Whirlpool 6 induction hob sense oven from the company as above microwave oven 2 meter fridge two televisions washer-dryer dishwasher (daily LED lighting in the apartment electric kettle about two decoders router two laptops cooker hood. 365, 399 is from the last 6 months, that is from 170 to almost 200 zlotys per month.

And write down how much the bottle lasted for you before

Mokand, can you give the plate wear for a longer period?

Why if he calculated the average for the day of use.
Certainly, it will be slightly more expensive than gas due to the fact that the electricity has increased to about PLN 0.70 per kWh. What do you get? Convenience, time saved, cooking speed, no gas fumes.

I would add even easier cleaning (flat glass without burning to black) and cooler in the kitchen (no combustion gases higher efficiency). The only disadvantages of induction are you have to learn to cook on it (everything happens quickly and you need to regulate the power all the time, there is no thick bottom in the pot or pan, and you even have to adjust the power from time to time). in the form of a touch, it is impossible to pass for older people (yes, I know there are kitchens with knobs but it is a rarity on the market).

Boiling water in a tin electric kettle took 3 min12s, the nominal power of the heater 2kW. The mains voltage was 231V.
Energy consumption (assuming that the actual power of the heater was equal to the nominal power during cooking) = 0.107 kWh. .

Well, unfortunately, there is a simple heater in the kettle and on the induction the transistors and the bridge emit some heat (I omit the energy radiated in the form of an electromagnetic wave).

According to the bills, the increase in electricity consumption due to the induction hob user has increased by around 800kwh per year.
