Remoska cookers (merged)

I saw one of the halogen ones in the Sunday supplement for about £50. Does anyone know if they are any good? They can't be better than the Remoska cay they?

A friend of mine has just bought the halogen oven, from a shopping channel around £30 I think. All reports are good so far, sounds very similar to remoska ie she said roast chicken was perfect and roasties good if a little soft.

Thanks for that DC, Hmmm, decisions decisions. The remoska does seem rather expensive but it looks more robust. It's a shame that all the accessories need to be bought separately

mudgekin - I was in the same dilemma as you a while ago and decided to go for the Remoska. Am really pleased that I did as it is definitely saving us some money on our electricty consumption. There are usually on 2 of us and I went for the grand - really glad I did as I use it nearly every day.

Decision made, thank you so much. It has been the grande I have been toying with as I dont want to get the standard one than have regrets I didn't get the grande. :j

Now I just have to write my letter to Santa and leave it on DH's pillow :rotfl:

I'm planning to have roast chicken and roast potatoes tonight.

Is there any way I can cook them both in the remoska?

I'm still learning how to cook in it so I want to double check.

Thanks

Mudgekin,

Go for the grande. I have the standard and sometimes wish I had gone large even though it is just me in the week. I do love it though.

Am feeling very sad and agitated as my Remoska is broken!!!:eek: :eek:

OH plugged it in to put Jacket spuds on and it tripped the electric whatever plug we used. Phone Lakeland who are sending a replacement out straight away. Then I need to return the old one in the new box after.

Feel completely lost and hope it comes before Sunday as I love cooking my roast in the Remoska.

I only post here occasionally but read every day and love the hints, tips and recipes. I wanted to thank Organic Wanabe for the scone recipe posted the other day. I tried it and it really does make the best scones ever so, thanks for sharing it! I can thoroughly recommend the recipe for the Remoska. I made two batches of seven from the ingredients specified; the first batch took 20 minutes and the second took 15, because the Remoska was already hot.

Thanks again - the scones will become a regular in our house.

On the subject of scones, I added a dollop of mincemeat to the Remoska recipe the other day and they were delicious!

225g SR flour
I tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
40g margarine
1 dollop mincemeat (about 1 tbsp)
milk to mix

Sift flour, bp and salt and rub in marg until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the mincemeat in mini dollops and stir around with a knife until incorporated in the mix. Add milk to make a soft dough, then roll out and cut into rounds. Bake in the Remoska until golden.

Christmassy without being too unhealthy!
