And with a 40" single oven, you can fit quite the meal in there! Or a very large sheet cake! | ||

Our Belk Gallant did not sell appliances. Another BORING store to be dragged into as a child. | ||

Hans, as we traveled through the south in the 50s and early 60s, we would see billboards for Belk's, but they had different last names after Belk, I guess reflecting the partnernships in various cities. At least that was the answer we got from our folks when we asked. Stores without hard goods are just too boring. | ||

In Florida it was Belk Lindsey. Now here in NW Arkansas it is just Belk.. I liked Burdines as they had appliances. | ||

Typical oven element is 3KW. It runs for 10min to reach bake temp, then 2 min out of every 10 to maintain. Biscuits might take 12 min, or 1/5th of an hour. 1/5th x 3KW is 0.6KWh. A KWh costs (national average) 12 cents. 12c x 0.6 = 7.2 cents. $0.072 x 30 = $3. That's what it costs your uncle to make biscuits for a month.
Yes, smaller costs marginally less. But many utilities charge more than $3 taxes, fees or line charges having nothing to do with consumption. What runs the electric bill up are things that draw kilowatts for HOURS. Like a fridge is just short of a kilowatt and runs roughly 12hr/day. That's 360KWh a month, x 12c = $43.20. So you see, while an oven uses several KW, it seldom does so for more than a half hour. Whereas a fridge uses one KW, but does so for 12 hours. For a ratio of 1.5KW to 12KW or in very round numbers, the fridge uses 10 times as much just running as the oven does making biscuits. So it "almost doesn't matter" how efficient the oven is. It DOES matter how efficient the fridge is because it operates 24 times longer per day. | ||

Very welcome.
The underlying formula for cost to operate anything electrical is (label Watts) (divided by 1000) x hours it actually runs x $0.12. There's all this kvetching about digital clocks and standby appliances running up your bill. Both are on the order of 3W. 3W / 1000 = 0.003 x 24hr = 0.072 x $0.12 = $0.00864 per day. X 30 days = $0.2592 a month. Twenty six cents. We see how these things get exaggerated in the media. | ||
