Important assumption

The example assumes 24 minutes of operation. Cooking time and food quantity matter more than rated watts alone.

This is a worked planning estimate, not a measurement of your appliance. A smart plug, energy monitor or manufacturer annual-kWh figure usually gives a better real-world input for cycling appliances.
