Remoska cookers (merged)

I have been mulling over the Moosewood cookbook and pondering at the Scheherezade casserole...has anyone made it?

DH I have made it years ago - only once, though. It was nice but not outstanding, hence I never made it again. The soybeans remained a bit raw-ish, if I remember correctly. But maybe this was because my magimix doesn't grind very finely. Also the combination of beans plus bulgur packed together is a bit on the heavy side. I have been thinking of trying it again with chickpeas (cooked first) instead of the soy beans.

Hi!
I'm so excited, I just picked up my Remoska! I won it on ebay a couple of nights ago and i'm sure it was some other old-stylers who i was bidding against! It's brand new and I've just taken it out of the box and i have some of my Artisan bread rising in it as we speak....
is it sad to be so excited about a cooking appliance!!!
looking forward to try some of the idea's posted on here! I have the feeling it'll be on constantly for a while!

Can I ask, can you use the melamine utensils free when you spend £100 or would they scratch? What are the best things to use if you are cooking directly in the pan? I have a grande by the way!

I had a remoska years ago and dropped the lid and broke it, but I kept the pan and use it for bread and cakes and occasionally a casserole in the oven. The melamine utensils will be fine, silicone will be even kinder. basically mine is years old and it has a few surface scratches but not down to the metal. It is really good quality. Just treat it with the care you would treat a non-stick pan. Be gentle and use a sponge or cloth for cleaning, no scourers, even the plastic ones.

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for sometime and have spent an age reading the various OS threads. I have taken loads of the tips and advice on board and put them into practice, I don't know why it took me so long to find you guys :cheesy:.
Anyway I bought a grande last week after convincing myself it was the way to go and hoping to make my oven pretty much redundant.
I have found though that mine cooks very unevenly and have to turn the pan (or lid) around to make sure the 'hot' side covers all of the dish at some point. Whilst I understand the need to use a 'foil ring' to protect the outer edges of some dishes, I'm not able to leave it for more than 5 mins before I have turn it. For example I did a toad in the hole and found that on one side it had risen to almost touch the lid whilst the other had barely taken on colour.
I have tried a number of dishes and am losing heart. Is it just a case of perseverence? Will the timings etc eventually click into place with use or do I have a rogue moska
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Yes, yours is faulty and if you ring customer services they will arrange an exchange. You do need a foil ring on some things just because the whole item is close to the element in the lid, but any over-browning should be across the whole circumference of the pan, it shouldn't affect one side only. Best to get it sorted with Lakeland

Hi Lozza,

I don't have any problems with uneven cooking but unfortunately it does sound like you have a fault with the one that you have - if it were me I would call lakeland and arrange for it to be replaced - once you switch it on you shouldn't have to mess about turning the lid to get it to cook evenly - that would soon take the fun out of using your remoska!

definitely faulty - ring Lakeland straight away - they are brilliant and you will have a shiny replacement in no time - dont give up as once you have a fully functioning one you will wonder how you ever cooked without it

Thanks for the replies! I thought it was likely to be a fault but just wanted to check it out. I'll give them a ring.

Hello

I'm thinking about buying a remoska and wondered if someone could let me know how long a jacket potato takes in the remoska please (as this could easily sway me to buy one...)

Thanks
Rachel
