Remoska cookers (merged)

crockpot

Thanks for that.

What about buns? do you need the wire rack, to stand them on for that?

Tempted to get 1.

How long does a chicken take to cook?

Thinking of the standard 1, 2 adults and 2 primary school children.

Can you do wedges in it?

I would like the shallow pan but it costs £26.99 which is rather expensive. I did read somewhere that someone uses a sandwich tin as a replacement pan but I can't find the place I saw it and I can't find one to fit it, the 25cm one is too big. Has anyone any idea?

Hi Millie - I bought two round 21cm (8") sandwich cake tins from the 'basics' range in Sainsbury's - one of them fits the Remoska perfectly - it wobbles but stabilises once the lid is in place and works perfectly to bring the food closer to the element. The other one doesn't quite fit even though it's exactly the same tin - you may have to experiment. The tins are only about 99p so it's not too costly to find one that fits.

Hope this helps.

Thinking of going for the grand, there are 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 primary school aged children.

A bit concerned about the depth of the pan though and increased cooking times.

But I get round this by cooking things in sandwich tins etc.

Also do I need a rack to cook stuff like HM pizza?

Or would it be better to invest in the shallow pan? Oh no the price keeps going up!

Ive got the grand ,crockpot,and instead of the shallow pan I bought a 32cm frying pan,the lid of the Remoska fits in really well.(you could always check it with a tape measure in the shop-I suppose individual pans vary!Mine hasn't got a name on,its just a big teflon frying pan)At £12.99 it was a good bit cheaper .I need to keep my eye on things so they don't burn being much closer to the heat,but so far it seems good for stuff like omelettes.

Still not sure, which 1 to go for!

Hubbie says if I am going to spen £80 on standard may aswell spend extra £20 on grand.
Or I am thinking standard plus a shallow pan?

The grand does seem big and alot bigger than the standard.

Am i right in thinking if I get a rack i could say cook fish in batter on it and do some sort of potato under? Would have to put pots in first? Like the idea of being able to cook a whole meal in it.

Got a slow cooker but oldest does not like things in sauces! so a bit hard with slow cooker apart from meat and chicken.

I ordered the standard but it hasnt come yet so I dont know..we had the same discussion in this house, but my OH is big and he tends to go for big things. Then I cant use them cos they're too big or clumsy or heavy , etc, so now I'm wary of big

Hi
I got the standard Remoska a week ago. It is certainly big enough for cooking for 4. There are 3 adults here and it's fine for us. I have used it for all my cooking and baking this week - bread, cakes, Chelsea buns, chips, Eccles cakes, chicken and vegetables, veggie bake, sausages, bacon, rice. And everything has turned out really well. I will never cook rice any other way now! I did also get some Magic Liner and cut out a circle for the base so it doesn't get scratched when I put cake tins in etc.

Highly recommend it - it's very versatile.
