I'm trying to get an idea of whether it would be viable for us to upgrade our PV and switch from propane to electric for cooking.

Is anyone else cooking on PV-powered electric, and do you have a rough estimate of the kWh used for it?

I used a small crock pot pretty frequently on solar power to cook for my partner and I. The one I had drew around 200 w/hr on high. I'm not sure what the peak draw was though.
