Remoska cookers (merged)

When I bought my Remoska the shop assistant told me there was a 'lifetime gaurantee' but somewhere on this board I think I read that is guaranteed for '6 months'. Can someone tell me which is true???

lakeland guarantee is probably the best there is - they will replace it for whatever reason - no time limit or restrictions

I went completely mad today and bought a Grand:eek: I've already got a Standard which I love and use all the time. Hopefully I can justify it by taking the Standard with me when I dog-sit at my friend's house using it just for me! The Grand will stay at my house for when I return to cook for OH a few times a week. I'll also use it for doing batch stuff - soups etc to use and freeze.

Tonight I did some Remoska roasted vegetables (potatoes, carrots, courgettes) with some cheese and bread-crumbed chicken breasts. Scrummy.

Sounds delicious! Do you par-boil the veg before adding to the Remoska?

I took my daughter to Canterbury today,as she is off to Uni there saturday and wanted to familiarise herslef with the area.

What a lovely surprise-a Lakeland store!

It was great to be able to look at the various mosky add-ones,I was also able to reassure myself that I DID in fact buy the right size for us in the standard as the large one looked HUGE to me! I have decided to continue to use the little silicone dish I have been using instead of investing in the seperator pan,I also bought some of their very strong foil for making loops to fish dishes out of the mosky.

What a lovely shop! I almost wished my dd wasn't there so I could mooch for hours

No!!! Simply put them in the Remoska (coated with a tiny bit of olive oil), sprinkled some thyme over and turned it on. Added the chicken after about half-an-hour and left it for about another 25 mins. Easy peasy (and time to enjoy a glass of wine, too)!!

I think the 'correct size' is so variable to individuals. I cooked a wonderful ratatouille topped with cheesy potatoes tonight in our grande,direct in the pan. It made four portions for our appetites(two to freeze) but the grande is advertised for 6-8 people:D . (And we're not overweight) But others find the standrad is perfect for them for a family of four. I wouldn't be suprised if one day I bought a standard too though:rotfl: . After diner, and a quick wipe of the pan, in went blackberry and apple crumble in a pyrex dish with the remains of a butternut squash I wanted to cook to freeze ready mashed.

DH - the challenge is on - I need a new apron, so need to come up with a fab recipe! Well done you.

Thanks Brighton belle! They are very friendly at the Hooray for home cooking website and I was so surprised to be sent an apron (even more surprised to discover they are £10!!!)

As regards the earlier query about jacket spuds...have you tried rubing the spud with olive oil before cooking? I do this and give them a quick blast in the micro to get them going and they are delish.

I've been using mine every day but repeats of earlier recipes, curry etc...

I did do a lovely cake out of the Mary Berry ultimate cake book (I can take it back to the library now 'cos I've bought a copy!) Its the apple and cinnamon cake, basic runthrough is make your cake mixture and add sultanas and cinnamon, put 1/2 of it at the bottom of the pan, sprinkle on some walnuts (I didn't have any so I used flaked almonds which was lovely) and grated apple, then pour on the rest of the cake mix. Very light and spicy.

I've not planned anything tonight as yet as I am waiting for my veg box to arrive and hoping for divine inspiration! Bit of a gamble but it usually works! I have been mulling over the Moosewood cookbook and pondering at the Scheherezade casserole...has anyone made it? I can't quite get my head round it, basic runthrough is soak some soya beans and in a seperate bowl soak some bulgar wheat. Fry onion, garlic and pepper in a frying pan. When the beans have soaked for a min of 4 hrs, drain and whizz in a blender with a bit of water until like a thick batter, add to the drained bulgar and veg, add chopped parsley and drained, chopped tinned tomatoes, mix, top with crumbled feta and bake (in remoska!) I might give it a go although I can't imagine what it would be like.
