annie - if you have a browse through this thread you'll soon see that you can cook just about anything in it! The only thing that seems to cause some issues is that chips take a long time to crisp for quite a few people.

It uses a lot less energy than a conventional oven, and keeps the moisture in the food, making things very succulent. I have used mine constantly since I bought it, for everything from rolls, cakes, crumbles, stew, curry, roast, chops, fish, roast veg, chilli, bacon and eggs, pizza to baked potatoes.

It's worth gettting a larger one than a smaller one I think, as you can always put another pot inside it, but you can never make it bigger iyswim!

Basically you can cook anything in it that can be cooked in the oven, and you only have one pan to clean!

Thank you mummysaver, I will read through this thread

Hi Annie

If you get a remoska I can't see it being shoved to the back of the cupboard
I have had mine for nearly 4 weeks now and have not put my oven on once :j mum has had hers 8 weeks and has used her oven twice

I have cooked allsorts in mine -and so far EVERYTHING has come out tasting better than when it was done in the oven.. bread, stews, chicken, roasties, crumbles

I have the standard as there are only 2 of us and its plenty big enough (although i have my free 2nd one if i get desperate :rotfl: )...
For me it makes me even more creative about what i cook - I have found that there is no need to make sauces etc in a pan(apart from cheese sauce) as mums recipe book seems to suggest -I saute n allsorts in mine

Pasta bakes etc are wonderful as you don't get that awful baked on dish that takes 3 days of soaking to get clean

I'm hungry now!!

Can I ask a question about the pan separator? This looks like something I would want to use a lot because of the kind of meals I cook but does it get very messy? If you put a stew in the pan separator and rice in the main pan, isn't the separator sitting in the liquid which will cook the rice? If you do roast potatoes in the main pan, doesn't the separator get really messy from the fat the potatoes are cooked in?

Also would two separators fit into the main pan so that the food could be kept separate?

I rang Lakeland to ask the same question. A lovely lady went away to physically check and she came back and said "no ... the lid would not fit right down.

HOWEVER

Last week Mrs McCawber posted and mentioned that she had two seperator pans and had used them. I asked if they fit and she said that the lid does not sit right down as it should but that if you line up the handle along where the two pans join, it is stable and that no heat seemed to escape and that things seemed to cook the same.

I have ordered a second one and am still waiting for it as it was out of stock.

I'm very tempted to buy a Remoska but I'm wondering whether it would earn its keep and - just as importantly - its space in my very small kitchen. I have a good combination micro which I use for roasting and baking instead of my big fan oven which I've only used once in the last 5 months;

I'd be interested in hearing any thoughts anyone might have please? I'll try to read through the thread but its now 74 pages so I'm unlikely to get through much of it.

Thanks for any comments

if it's any help to you, I keep my 'moska on the cooker hob. I hardly ever use the electric rings now, doing most things in the 'moska or the micro.

I even use the 'moska lid on top of my fry pan, for the loveliest crispy bacon with no added fat, it's a perfect fit and saves me buying the shallow pan. Just hope that hubby has picked up on this little tip, I made sure he was watching as I did this last night. He's terrible for adding fat to the pan when he cooks bacon:eek:.

Wow thats a brilliant tip, I'm going to see if it fits my frying pan.


Thank you so much for posting that.:Tx

When I was in Lakeland store in Newcastle yesterday they had battered grande size spare pans.Some more dented than others,I could'nt beleive it they wanted £19.95 for them.

Love the idea of putting the lid on the frying pan, will be trying that when I get home!! Crispy bacon :j.

Only had my moska for a month and have used it nearly everyday. Love the idea that I can safely leave stuff simmering away without worrying about the bottom of the pan catching. The kids haven't stopped making cakes and I cooked my first chicken yesterday. Was concerned that it almost touched the lid but I just put a few slices of bacon over the breast, cooked fab! Didn't put any veg in - we must be a greedy bunch but there wasn't enough room for roasties for 5 of us as well, even in the grand. I just parboiled some cubes of skin-on red taters and then finished them off in the moska whilst the chicken was resting.

Like many others I have only had my oven on once and that was because I was feeding pizzas to 5 hungry 12 year olds! Have decided that the only time it's going on is when I can fill it.
