Microwave Power use Tested vs Induction vs electric kettle

[Dave in AZ]

Just to round things out, here is the microwave water boil power test. For smallest microwave, for overland cooking.

Energy to boil 500ml water, about 2c, in Watt-hrs. Compared to Induction with small pot, and electric kettle. This is useful for people using battery power when cooking, either camping or during power outage, or overlanding.
Folks need to be able to estimate normal energy usage for cooking and other tasks, so they can calculate how many Watt-hrs they need of battery in a day, or to last several days without solar or recharge.
This is the physically smallest GE microwave in their 0.7 cu ft linup, and was also rated as the best small countertop microwave by numerous professional appliance testers.

I bought this for my truck camper, for overlandlanding and camping, to allow quick meal reheat. Reduces mess, cleanup, and water usage, compared to a gas stove or induction setup.

I didn't watch the video, it isn't available directly, so maybe check your youtube settings?

Just like to make a comment... any inefficiency in turning electrical energy into heat will result in that excess heat being delivered to your camper... which could be ok or bad, depending...

I Don't allow embed YouTube video, you have to go and watch It on YouTube. The reason is because I have all sorts of information in the video description and if people watch it here, they inevitably ask all the questions that I already answered and spent a lot of time typing up in the video description. Additionally, there is 0 chance anyone will ever click on subscribe or give me a thumbs up when they watch It embedded here.So I'd rather they at least have the slight chance.They might when watching it at YouTube.
It's just a click away
