Power guzzlers in the kitchen Interview with Prof. Dr.-Ing Johannes Jungwirth on the energy efficiency of various kitchen appliances The Welt Zeitung has an exciting interview with Johannes on electricity guzzlers in our kitchens. Here is an excerpt with simple electricity-saving tips. "There are differences in electric stoves: Cast-iron cooktops consume the most electricity because a lot of metal is heated. Glass ceramic cooktops are more efficient, and induction cooktops consume up to 40 percent less electricity than cast iron. "Here, the energy goes directly into the pot; nothing gets unnecessarily hot," says Johannes Jungwirth, technical director of VK [...]
