Where do you live? My power bill never went over $60 and I run the AC 24/7 and cook at least one meal a day with lights on about 9 hours. And you can't forget charging the phone, hot water heater, TV, bla bla bla. But even if all $60 was for cooking a minimum of one meal a day, it would cost me 2 dollars for the power. With everything added I would guess cooking something like pancakes which doesn't take long at all, would cost maybe 30 cents, probably 20 cents due to the fact that pancakes are quick to cook. Next hater please.
