The amount of electricity a toaster uses depends on its wattage and the time it takes to toast the bread. Most toasters have a wattage rating between 800 to 1500 watts, with 1000 watts being a common standard.

To calculate the electricity consumption, you can use the following formula:

Electricity Consumption (in kilowatt-hours) = (Toaster Wattage / 1000) x Toasting Time (in hours)

For example, let's say you have a toaster with a wattage of 1000 watts, and it takes 2 minutes to toast your bread:

Electricity Consumption = (1000 watts / 1000) x (2 minutes / 60 minutes) Electricity Consumption = 0.0333 kilowatt-hours (kWh)

So, toasting one batch of bread in this toaster would consume approximately 0.0333 kWh of electricity.

Keep in mind that the actual time required to toast bread may vary depending on the toaster settings and the desired level of toasting. Also, if you're toasting multiple batches, you would need to multiply the electricity consumption by the number of batches.
