Typical oven is about 3600 watts on full power. or 3.6kW. We pay 19
cents so it is about 68 cents an hour on full power. Once the oven
reaches temperature it needs little power to maintain. Probably 20 cents
or so.

Crockpot is maybe 200 watts or 0.2 kW or 3.8 cents per hour.

Makes less difference in the winter f you are running heat anyway as the
oven heat loss supplements the house heat. In summer you may be paying
for the AC to remove the heat.
