Everything I've heard about slow cookers is that they use a minimal amount
of energy. However, we put in a "whole house" generator (because we live in
"hurricane land") and we were told by the installer that toaster ovens use
quite a bit of energy and not to use one in the event of a power failure
when we would become dependant upon our "whole house" generator.
