Some are used, sold by people who no longer want them. But there is at least one person selling new ones regularly.

I guess Lakeland don't count ebay as a retail outlet.

I saw this seller. I noticed s/he also sells other Lakeland products so I suspect there may be something vaguely dodgy going on.

That'll explain why some are dented when they arrive :rotfl:

hmm yes, I have been rather in denial about this too, thinking I will deal with cleaning the lid later! There will be a moment when I have to face the facts i.e. when I cannot see through the glass window anymore. Advice very welcome.

Another one here wondering how you all clean the lid. When I asked in Lakeland they recommended a yellow cloth which wouldn't scratch but is absolutely useless and a complete waste of money.

I used the astonish paste on the first mark on the stainless steel lid and it brought it off but left scour marks. Now I'm waiting to see if anyone has any gentler ways to remove marks before having another go.....

Has anyone else asked Lakeland if they can suggest anything else? I didn't actually find them very helpful when I asked.

I wandered into Aldi today and see they are selling a 4 litre Cast Aluminium cooking pot for £12.99. The 24cm fits with the Ramoska Std. element (I tried it), is triple coated non-stick, has a glass (non oven safe) lid. Can't tell you how it bakes yet. That will be tested tomorrow.

Would be interested to see what other users think of it.

Someone from Lakeland (Adrian) has already posted on this thread recommending Astonish paste (which scours) or a microfibre cloth (which is good on a new splash but not on a baked on one).

Does the Astonish paste "scratch" the surface? Has anyone tried it?

I have also found the microfibre cloth to be quite poor. An ordinary damp cloth will also clean off a new splash. What I want to clean off are the baked on ones which cannot be wiped off when new as they occur during cooking when the Moska is too hot to wipe.

The microfibre cloths are good for the inside as the wipe off cooking residue quickly and easily. For the outside I try to keep an eye and use a dry thick cloth during cooking (a wet cloth conducts heat from the element v quickly and can burn!)

The astonish paste leaves scour marks, not deep scratches but the stainless steel loses its shine. I have spoiled a small patch and don't want to do it again!
