How much electricity does it take to make a 2-person camping breakfast? I make 2 meals each 2c coffee, bowl of oatmeal, 3pc thick bacon, 2 eggs. I use the most energy efficient cooking, electric kettle and induction cooktop. Use this info to help estimate how much electricity you need in Watt-hrs for your cooking and day, called an "Energy Audit".


Here is a video I made showing it all. Video works, click it or the "watch on Youtube" link if black, to watch video... Details are in video description, answers many questions so it won't play embedded here. Browse my other videos for more cooking energy tests, consider subscribing pls ;)

Im not sure if i measured a morning cook, but I'd say less than 200 watts total.
Small pans and pot heats up quickly.

Downside to this is i don't think titanium works, I mainly use cast iron pans and a small stainless pot.
 
Eh, Walmart sells some induction ready cookware for not too much. Lugging around cast iron is tedious for me.
 
I think The Stokes Voltaic is more efficient than induction IME. The Stokes Kettle pot with french press for coffee and the pot and pan set for cooking. Good for 2 people but not big enough for more.
