A dad worked out the cheapest way to boil water, with the results surprising him.
Taking to social media platform TikTok, under the username dinosaurdannyx, the academic decided to boil water through a kettle and a hob to see how much energy each would use and how much they would cost. With the cost of living crisis in full swing, many households right across the UK will be looking for ways to save money where they can.
Through his experiment, the TikTok user found out that it cost him around 1.99p to boil water using his hob whereas using the kettle to boil the same volume of water cost twice as much at 3.94p. He said: "The results of this actually surprised me."
