Getting excited.....................received an email yesterday to say its on its way..

The baked potatoes were lovely, but the cheese scones were a very little bit "doughy" inside. Maybe I didn't leave them in for long enough? The book said 15 mins, I left them for 20 mins and they looked fine and done. They were totally edible, just not quite as nice as oven baked.
Was I supposed to heat up the Remoska first, before putting them in?

Sorry about all the questions, I'm just trying to learn how to use it!

You don't need to preheat the Remoska, in fact I think it says in the book don't preheat. I haven't done cheese scones but have done plain ones and I tend to cook them for about 15 mins but if I do a 2nd batch they take less time. Maybe someone who has done cheese scones can say how long they cook them for.

the Remoska takes about 20 mins to come up to full temp (190c gas mark 5 approx) so I usually take recipes that suggest a shorter time with a pinch of salt and just keep an eye out the first time I cook anything.

You can pre-heat the Remoska by putting in a cup or small bowl of water and switching it on and carefully removing the hot cup/bowl before using. It's a faff and I can't be botheres so I just wait extra time for the first batch of anything. It really is trial and error I find

Argghhh my remoska is tripping out the electricity - did it once or twice before but every time this evening. Am going to call Lakeland and see what they say. But of course it features in my xmas cooking plans, so this is not good news!

Can you get into a store? I had problems with my lid rattling and the teflon coming off and rang HO and asked if I could just change mine in store - this was no problem so meant I wasn't without it at all.

That's good advice - I have a store I could get to at the weekend. Will see what I can arrange with them. Thanks.

bakerp welcome ! There are nice people on here who can usually help, and if you have the patience to read the whole thread there are masses of great recipes. I can't directly answer your question as I never make egg custards but if you usually make them as individual ones - say in ramekins, or silicone muffin cases I am sure you could do so by using the Moska as a 'bain marie' - with water round the ramekins or muffin cases. If you want to make a big one the same principle would apply if you find a dish which fits in the moska, and then cook the custard with water round it. but knowing this thread some kind soul who really knows how to do it will be along in a minute with proper advice - welcome anyway !:beer:
