Remoska cookers (merged)

Different_Corner

There is a lovely recipe I found on the OS board for Aunt Sally's Apple Cake, in my fan oven it dries out. My first attempt with my remoska was said Apple cake and it is gorgeous, very moist and only took 50 minutes instead of the usual 1hr. That includes turning it off for the last 5 minutes to use residual heat.
Loving it so far, very excited at the thought of roast chicken tomorrow

I like the sound of the apple cake. Would you be able to post a link to the recipe? I am never very good at finding things

Found it ! Courtesy of Money Saving Diva!
Aunty Sallys Apple Cake (recipe given to me by my actual Aunty Sally!!)

This is ridiculously easy to make!

8oz self raising flour
4oz marg or butter
4oz castor sugar
8oz roughly chopped apples
4oz saltanas
juice of half a lemon (soak the apples in this once chopped)
2 med-large eggs
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger

• Mix flour and marg til it resembles breadcrumbs.
• Add all other ingredients
• Let sit for 5 mins
• Grease tin
• Place in tin (push up bottom type if available but not vital)
• Cook at 180 degrees Gas mark 4 for 1 - 1 1/4 hrs or til a knife pulls out cleanly

Delicious hot as a pudding with custard or cold as a deliciously moist cake.

Different Corner - would I be right in assuming that the quantities given for the Apple Cake are for the Standard Remoska cooked in the deep pan? It sounds delicious so I'll have to try it.

Hi OW
I have the grand and used the deep pan, only because it was my first attempt at anything remoska wise ! It would have fit in the shallow pan in my grand. I used a 9 inch spring cake tin, which makes for quite a shallow cake.

Also I did use foil to stop the top browning too quickly towards then end.
Hope you enjoy it.

thanks for the welcome charlies mum and muppet 81, well we've had our evening meal and desert from the moska today and very easy and very popular they were. First thing we made was flapjacks, (though it does appear to have left marks on the non stick is that normal, just by stiring the oats in) they are gorgeous and such a large quantity they will last us all week and then for our main meal we made the cauliflower baked with ham from the little blue book, this was ideal as it used up a huge cauli I'd gotten last week in Aldi and the remains of a chorizo, it was so easy to make and so yummy all four plates were empty. I am hooked, am off now to see what else I can make, do quite fancy that apple pie, but don't have all the ingredients in.

Will be back soon asking for more help and looking for ideas.

I'm sure I've read somewhere on here that you shouldn't switch the remoska off and leave the lid on for some reason, is that right? I can't see any mention of it in the book unless I've missed it.

Hi

The only thing I have found is that if you switch it off and leave the lid on you can get quite a lot of condensation -not much of a problem with stews n the like -but not great with bread n cakes

It's arrived :j :j :j

My Baby Moska (only ordered on Thursday) has been delivered. Lakeland are wonderful :T :T :T

It is sooooo cute!

I have not had time to use it yet and we are out for dinner with friends tonight so will have to wait till tomorrow or probably Monday when Mr Muppet is at work and I can prepare a solo lunch in it.

Hi would love to know how you get on with the baby, I've got a standard at home but thinking of getting the baby for use when in the caravan, only cooking for me.

Thanks westcountrymaid, that makes sense. I did see that you shouldn't leave the lid on and empty pan.
I will admit that the lid does scare me a little, especially as my cord is quite twisted and curls up on itself, I hope it will straighten out with use.
