And just like that, the holidays are here.
Firing up that oven should never be stressful. Cooking is a fun family activity, and with 4Change Energy you won’t overspend while you boil water, microwave leftovers or roast a Thanksgiving turkey for 4 hours. SO, have you ever wondered how much electricity it actually takes to cook a bird?
While the size of a turkey may vary depending on how many people you’re serving, an average turkey takes about 4 hours to cook. Setting your oven to 350 degrees uses about 2 kWh per hour, which means:
1 turkey = 8 kWh of electricity usage.
So feel free to dig in, stress free.
