Often pondered on this.  Is the large fan oven more economic at 180 on fan, or the little top oven with no fan at 200C .   Mrs Bouquet

It depends on what you're putting in it. The smaller oven should be more economic as you're heating a much smaller area, but both shouldn't use up much leccy keeping them up to temperature. I wouldn't try cooking a turkey in the smaller one though!  :lol:
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Turkey got cooked at Christmas, outside on the bbq !!

Now its just me heating a pre-cooked quiche or pie, that sort of thing.   Just pastry really which cannot go in the Micro-wave.   Thanks,  Mrs Bouquet

Difficult to say, but if you have a smart meter you can measure the power consumption from both.

Agree with GG - fan ovens distribute the heat more efficiently but I reckon that would be more than offset by the much larger oven size.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!
