22.16 kWh for gas
28.78 kWh for electricity
Does anybody know whether this is directly correlated; example its cheaper to boil 3 litres of water using gas instead of electricity?
Or, its cheaper to cook using gas instead of electricity.
I’ve often wondered whether its cheaper to boil water using electric kettle or the stove.
I think there are other factors involved:
A) Using the same volume of water: 1 lit using gas vs 1 lit using electric
B) Using the type of vessel to boil the water: high conductivity metals or not
C) Time taken to arrive at boiling point.
From personal observations, electric kettle seems slower.
But then again I use a bi-metal based pot that conducts heat very efficiently.
It also retains heat very well, so when recipes require low & slow cooking times
I suppose Gas is cheaper.
I really do not care much about the rates.
There is no other cheaper alternative that is practical anyway
( solar energy is still lagging behind here)
