Use your microwave to cook your food for a while then. Damn. How much could it possibly cost anyway? A couple bucks?

I guess if you had it going 24/7, but if you have to do that, you may need to look into getting an bigger PC. I run mine alot and never notice much of a difference on my bill. Cooling/heating your home is what kills ya.

I can run a 6 qt PC on a 1,000 watt hot plate from walmart. What that translates to in dollars have no idea.

i guess i'm interested in knowing the rate at which the stove uses gas to run the pressure cooker.

the cost is something to think about. today it might cost $1, next year it'll cost $2, next year $3.

i suppose it's counterproductive to run the pressure cooker when the AC is on.

that's the answer, get a bigger PC.

yes, i'm drunk and high most of the time, the gas bill cuts into my recreational spending.

Using a gas or electric stove in the wintertime is free. Any heat created by the PC/stove is going to be released into your house, preventing your furnace from needing to produce the same amount of BTU to keep the house warm. Stoves are far more efficient than furnaces, so you actually save money.
