A three-hour Burgundian gourmet evening consumes 4.2 kilowatt-hours of electricity. At an average electricity price of 33.70 euro cents per kilowatt hour, this will cost you 1.42 euros.
In one Fondue set With a capacity of 3 liters and 6 skewers, the power is about 1300 watts. After the meal, your energy bill increased by €1.31. Even for the most advanced installed devices, consumption costs remain just under 2 euros. So energy costs don’t get in the way of the festive spirit.
