Anyone know how EF slow cookers are?
in Green Living
Are they better than using an oven or not so much since they are on for so long?
Re: Anyone know how EF slow cookers are?
There was a woman who had this blog about living on less than 1k a month w/ a family of 5 and she did EVERYTHING (like she baked in the thing!) in her slowcooker/crockpot because she said it used less energy than a stove/oven.
I just read somewhere that an electric kettle (for making boiling hot water) uses less electricity than heating up a tea kettle on your stove. That being said, I have a tea kettle I like, and I often feel the most green option is using what you have until it wears out vs. buying something new and tossing your old thing.
According to http://crockpot365.blogspot.com/2008/10/cooking-dried-beans-in-crockpot.html when she researched it, the crockpot costs like 2 cents an hour.
The details are at the bottom of the post in the link.
