Posts Tagged ‘Uses’

I have looked at past questions that were similar to this one, but not exactly the same. I am looking for, quite simply, which uses more electricity between a standard microwave and a small toaster oven to heat the same food. I know that a microwave is on for less time, but I do not know how much electricity per minute each of the devices use.
I am trying to figure out which will use the least amount of electricity to heat my food. For argument’s sake, let’s say the food takes three minutes in the microwave versus ten minutes in a toaster oven, which is about standard for the things I’m looking to heat. Taste is not a factor in this question. If anyone could give me a source for their answer it would be doubly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Which brand is best for microwave and for electric toaster oven for mid-size family?
