A: A small electric stove uses 1,000 watts, and a larger heating element uses up to 3,000 watts. A stove does not use all of its maximum rated power; it only uses power as it heats up until it reaches the set temperature. An average stove top element uses 1,500 watts per hour while it heats on medium or high.
Small or compact microwaves range from 600 to 800 watts, while family-sized microwaves range from 850 to 1,650 watts. Small microwaves are energy efficient, but large microwaves typically cook food quickly. It is important to know the wattage of a microwave to correctly follow food preparation guidelines.
