Best Answer

The related link states a toaster uses 800 to 1500 watts. I make my toast in a small toaster oven, and I read on the bottom of the appliance that it uses 1500 watts. Now, energy use is measured in watt-hours. To figure out how long toast takes to cook, I put a piece of bread in the oven- it took about 4 minutes to toast, so:

1500 x 4/60 = 400 watts-hours. Now, on my electric bill, the power use is given in kilowatt hours, so I divide 400 by 1000, and get 0.4 kilowatt-hour (0.4 kwh), which isn't much electrical use.
