My own oven is 4m x 1.1m x 1.1m and has 3 x 1000W finned electric elements. A rough guess for your size oven relative to mine, you may need about 4000W total.

The elements come from an oven spares supplier, they are a finned type. As I understand in Australia power costs about 20c per kw so my oven with 3000W (3kw) costs about 60c per hour if all the elements on. Typically the elements flick on and off with the controller doing its job so they are not actually on or running all the time. I always think the vac pump motor running all the time probably uses much more power than the heating process?? Most cooks I do are 100 deg C Fastacraft Facebook page Edited 11 Years Ago by Fasta
