Does a crockpot use a "lot" of energy?

[chocolate moose]

Just bought DD a crockpot and I remember learning that any appliance that gets hot, uses a lot of electricity.

Anyone? Will I be in the poor house now (with chili, though, hehe).

Thanks!

at the absolute uttermost biggest highest usage, any (1800 watt) kitchen doohickey will cost you (at $0.10 per kilowatt) about $0.18 per hour to run.

so, four hours at utter max consumption (=4x.018=$0.72) to cook the (whatever)
