How much do appliances cost to run?

I didn't know an air fryer used so much!
I wonder if it would be interesting to do the same for gas, as that makes up the lion's share of the bill for most people over winter I believe.
I suppose that's so variable because everyone's central heating system is different.

@66Mustang I can say that I’ve worked out the gas for a gas hob. All based on the new average rate of 51.89 pence per kWh
wok burner 3.36p per min
large burner 2.59 per min
medium burner 1.47 per min
small burner 0.86 per min
According to boilerchoice.com the average monthly gas usage is around 1,000 kWh.
It would vary though depending on the temperature set and external temperature and weather. 1,000 kWh at the new rate would cost over £518 a month ...which has to be wrong surely!
Another site reckons 480kwh a month which is a more reasonable figure and would cost £249 at the current rate. This is for a 24kwh boiler on for a total of five hours per day.1 -
Thanks @leeCal
Very scary prices indeed.
The price of EU natural gas crashed by about 40% over the last few days which is good. However since the Russians didn't turn the gas back on again the price is due to spike when the markets open again on Monday. Probably the prices will return to their previous highs, maybe even higher.

I agree, a very useful thread, thanks for starting it @66Mustang, I too have been trying to pay close attention to how much energy each of my appliances uses, it can be surprising how little some things use compared to others!L_Volunteer said:What an interesting and valuable thread!1 -
Don't worry about leaving your modern LCD TV on standby though
Most- if not all use a fraction of a penny per day to run the circuits with a single LED running (on average 0.5 Watts) which is negligible!1 -
I see that natural gas hasn't gone back up as much as feared, it's still well under the peak.
