Ceramic hob or kitchen robot: what consumes less now that the price of electricity is skyrocketing?

With electricity prices rising and falling continuously, we find ourselves doing everything to save a few euros on the electricity bill and not encounter surprises. One of the many doubts that may arise when it comes to saving is whether we should use the ceramic hob or the kitchen robot is better. We solve them for you below.

Inflation and high electricity prices are suffocating most Spanish families this last month. For this reason, we want to resolve some issues regarding savings and so that you choose the best appliance, either for cooking, washing, refrigerating, etc.

We recently resolved the question of whether the Air Fryer is a better option than the air oven, leaving us with a clear winner. In this case, we delve into finding out if we save more by cooking on a ceramic hob or, on the other hand, using the kitchen robot is a success.

And it is that cooking is perhaps the activity that consumes the most energy, so it is important to know the result. The solution is clear: the food processor (Thermomix) consumes less electricity.

From Energy Label they confirm it: “While glass-ceramic plates consume, in general terms, 2,000 watts, a kitchen robot at maximum power can be around 1,500 watts; there are even those that only need 1,300 watts, although with fewer features”, Explain.

Getting a little off topic, but to provide another curious fact, induction hobs also use less electricity than ceramic hobs: they represent a saving on the bill of between 30% and 40%.

Among the great advantages of the kitchen robot, we highlight that of preparing almost any type of food quickly and cleanly and that of the vertical cooking system.

Although it certainly represents a great saving, The National Energy Saving Association (ANAE) warns that phantom consumption caused by stand-by, that is, leaving the appliance plugged into the light is much more important in the case of appliances such as the dishwasher, the air conditioner or a kitchen robot such as the Thermomix.

Now that we know this, It should be noted that the refrigerator is the appliance that spends the most in a house. According to Business Insider, it represents 14% of the total electricity consumption of the home.

However, we also have silver and bronze, which in this case go to heating and television, respectively.
