How much does an electric oven cost to run in Spain?
An electric oven draws 2,000 to 3,500 watts while it actively heats, though it cycles on and off once it reaches temperature, so real consumption is a little below the rated figure. Fan-assisted ovens spread heat more evenly and let you cook at lower temperatures. Skipping the pre-heat when you don't need it, and using residual heat at the end, both trim the total. Set the hours to your daily cooking time to estimate the cost.

About €0.40 for an hour of cooking at 2,200 W and an all-in rate near €0.19/kWh. Batch-cooking and using residual heat lower the effective cost.
Is an air fryer cheaper than an oven?
For small portions, usually yes — an air fryer heats a smaller space faster, so it uses less energy than heating a full oven for one dish.
