Remoska cookers (merged)

does that mean you use cooking dishes in the remoska? - does it come with them or do you buy them extra?
am slowly persuading dh that it is a good idea (and saving up my avon earnings so we can buy one
) ...
You can use ANY dishes or cook direct in the remoska pan. I use cake tins, silicone, glass dishes - anything I would use in a normal oven works in the remoska. If you are using a rack to cook a double layer then shallow(er) dishes/tins/silicone are needed..
Kittie - thanks very much for idea of placing something on top of a dish and cooking another item on top - this is a fine idea if using a deeper dish and finding the rack won't fit ---- love this thread :T
Edited to add that I have a couple of enamel plates I use for pies - just tried one on top of a wide oven proof dish that is too deep to use with the rack and the plate fits a treat - so will be using that to copy Kittie!People Say that life's the thing - but I prefer reading

..If I get the rack, could I cook 2 layers of buns at the one time ? will the ones on the bottom go brown ok ?
Haven't cooked buns or cakes using 2 layers (yet) but if the bottom layer was a bit pale I'd just leave them few extra minutes to brown up I think.People Say that life's the thing - but I prefer reading

Phew!
Having read your rave reviews, I rang and ordered a standard Remoska at 8.00 this morning. Looks like I just got in on the £79.99. :j
Just a quick question - Yorkshire Puddings - if you are cooking a YP in the Remoska, surely you must have a roast cooking somewhere. If the oven is on for the roast why would you cook a YP in the Remoska?
I know lots of you cook meat in them but how useful are they for vegetarians? The walnut and lentil loaf mentioned in an earlier post sounded good. Was that from the cook book or your own recipe? if it was your own, i would love to have it.Thank you for this site :jNow OH and I are both retired, MSE is a Godsend0 -
I havent cooked any bread or puddings in my Remoska yet. I have an enamel pie dish and have used it in the Remoska with no problems whatsoever - I had some left over Colcannon (from M&S) so put this in the dish, grated cheese on top and then some sliced tomato yum - it was so yummy I could have eaten it again but I couldnt because they were leftovers.:rolleyes:0

Hmm - it's the bread baking that interests me most actually. I did have a bread machine, but I prefer the old-fashioned, hand-kneaded, stick it in the oven approach nowadays - seems to work better for me for the wholemeal baking that I do. I make a couple of loaves for us every week, so I generally try to knock up something else to go in the oven (electric fan) at the same time also to make it worthwhile, since it takes so bloomin' long to heat up etc. I'd love to know if anyone has baked proper loaves in one of these.0

Drat - right now I don't have the money to get one, so I shall have to bite the bullet when the time comes and pay an extra tenner. It just means payback time on it over the oven will be longer, another 200 hours or so by my calculations for the standard. It does give me longer to decide which one to get though.
I'm certainly looking forward to trying baking with it when I get one - did you all know that you can get individual silicone muffin-type cases on ebay? It might still be cheaper to cut up our existing ones "...And if it don't feel good, what are you doing it for?" - Robbie Williams - 'Candy'0 -
So. Does the Remoska cook like a conventional oven?? How many will a Grand one allow for. We are a family of 8 at the moment, and often have extra mouths as well, would a grand Remoska cater for 8+A work in progress

The pan for the Grand is about 12 inches diameter, so it depends what you want to cook.You're only young once, but you can be immature forever0 -
I like to make my own oven chips by peeling and chipping real potatoes and rubbing with a little oil then putting in the oven.
In the Remoska (which I am eagerly awaiting delivery of having yesterday paid for next day delivery) will these need to be laidout in a single layer on a baking tin or can they be piled up a bit and still work? Just thinking 1 layer in an 8" diameter is not many chips Thank you for this site :jNow OH and I are both retired, MSE is a Godsend0
