An engineer has compared boiling water in a kettle and on a hob to see which is cheaper. The TikTok user, who is also an academic, said he was surprised by what he found.
His experiment measured how much energy - and therefore cost - was needed to boil two litres of water from room temperature. The man, who posts under the name dinosaurdannyx, measured the flow of gas through his stove to work out how much it used.
He said that he calculated it cost around 1.99p to boil the water on the hob. The engineer then boiled the same amount of water in his kettle and found that it cost nearly double - 3.94p, reports the Mirror.
