Electric toaster or gas grill?

[greentangerine]

In summer use the electric toaster when a)you have plenty of free solar PV electricity (actually, costing you 3.1p/kWh because you won't be exporting whatever you're using for cooking toast)

Only if you have an export meter - else you are effectively getting paid 1.55p/kWh to toast ...

(assuming you are actually generating enough in the first place of course)

Surely this is the basic unit of energy from which all others are derived....

Surely this is the basic unit of energy from which all others are derived....

It is more complex than "the basic unit" unfortunately. There is a complex algorithm required to compute the data from differing moisture contents and other discrepancies between white a brown bread. Toasting marshmallows also adds to the confusion.

I cannot believe toast production is now a consideration in being green. Personally I prefer my toast brown, but I have heard that the darker the toast, the higher the carbon footprint it makes, both in it's production, and when dropped on the floor.....

No 'fence to the dear wife Biff but I am afraid the fairer sex are wired up differently, I thought it was hilarious

Paul, you're probably right. Last time I used the gas grill it went out and I went back to relight it. Now an electric toaster convertee

"Despite being 'off grid' we always use the electric toaster, as sticking something under a hot flame when heat rises has always struck me as daft. If I could I'd put fish in the toaster  Grin"

Would that be a flat fish then?, or are they all a bit skinnier east of Skye?
