Default Electrical Question 50Hz and 60Hz

I have experience of using a power tool abroad before I was aware of the 50 Hz & 60 Hz differences. As a result a Worx mini-power saw motor burnt out.
So my question is about a small kitchen appliance thats rated at 60Hz is used here in the UK and we've been using it for more than 10 years. Will it be using more electricity than it should?

Thanks.

Arthur.
