I have a solid plate hob cooker, and these use about 1-2kwh, I dont know what mine uses specifically not measured it yet.
But this thing must be the most inefficient form of heating I have, it takes at least 20 minutes to start heating up water inside the pan, and doesnt bubble until about 30 mins, it wastes heat in the surrounding area, so if I touch anywhere near the hob its hot, I wonder if simply using the kettle and pouring the hot water into a pan is more efficient than solid plate hob cooking as once the water is hot the cooking time is very low. Solid plate hobs make ovens seem godly for efficiency lol.
