We derived that from manufacturer-published burner ratings and wattages, US Energy Information Administration energy prices, and arithmetic we show in full so you can check it. Includes cost per hour, cost per million BTU, and a break-even table for whether a cheaper-to-run oven ever repays a higher sticker price. Spoiler: almost never.
