I’m trying to get an idea of whether it would be viable for us to upgrade our PV and switch from propane to electric for cooking.
Is anyone else cooking on PV-powered electric, and do you have a rough estimate of the kWh used for it?

My wife cooked lunch today. Beef stew and toasted bread. The stew in a pressure cooker, vegetables and bread in a air fryer. Some of that was the kettle boiling too. We don’t use a conventional stove for anything. The regular bumps through the night is the fridge/freezer, it runs on solar permanently.
Green in incoming PV from 6 panels. 5kW inverter. Yellow is power draw. Just don’t start two appliances that both draw more than 2kW at the same time, and you’re good.
This is a very similarly-sized system to what we’re thinking of getting, so very encouraging! What else are you able to power if you don’t mind me asking?
