Remoska cookers (merged)

fuzzyfelt_2

I just wanted to share my experiences with everyone here. Obviously, I can't comment on the halogen oven, but I can say I am very pleased with my moski.:j It has taken me a few dishes to get to know it, but I can already see it's going to my best friend in the kitchen.

I also wanted to clear something up about the rattling in the Grand Remoska that some people have posted about. My lid also rattles and I was all ready to take it back to Lakeland. Anyway, I decided to email "Hooray for Homecooking" the official Remoska bods for their advice and to check if I was worrying over nothing. I got a lovely email back (within 24 hours) reassuring me that my remoska was fine. For those who are interested, this is what Jill at Hooray for Homecooking said:

"You are worrying about nothing....!

The element in the Grand consists of ceramic beads - hence the slight rattle, which is quite normal. Enjoy your new purchase, and please come back to us if you need any more advice."

Joe it may be worth giving Lakeland a call if your not happy with your remoska, as far as I know if you are not happy for any reason at all they will give you a full refund.

Thanks, I'm sure they would give me a full refund. But I I've used the thing since the summer, mainly for baking pies, sausage rolls etc. I wouldn't feel right sending it back just because I didn't like it. It works properly and seems to work in the same way other people's do. It's just, for me, it is not the wonder cooker I thought it was going to be.

Do you know where I could get a copy of the Be-ro book, Desperate Housewife? I've seen it mentioned a few times on this thread (possibly all by you ), and am really interested in it.

Roasted a small leg of lamb in my remoska yesterday for the first time, it turned out delicious, really tender. Must admit as my son was coming I roasted the potatoes in my small oven as he loves crispy roast potatoes and I can't get them like it in the remoska.

I have concluded that liking your Moska is a personality thing. I used regularly to cook great supper parties for up to 12 people on two gas rings in a holiday cottage and it seemed like a pleasurable challenge: cooking in the Moska seems a bit the same to me, slightly hit or miss, needing a bit of ducking and diving (which pan, how long etc etc). I even wondered if it was an age thing where we older folk are a bit more used to things not being quite so cut and dried and were used to 'flying by the seat of our pants', not always using a recipe, or quite enjoying making it up as you went along. No disrespect to anyone else - it's just horses for courses surely (as someone else said) but I think it means that no one cooking device is 'better' it's all just about what suits you. I have a Neff oven which does exactly what I tell it, but my sister has an Aga which seems very temperamental to me, so I like having the precision of the neff (which I've hardly used since Moska arrived) AND the less precise Moska. There, that's what I think ! but I don't think we should fall out over which is BEST, because we're all different.
Happy New year to us all............................

:T It is fabulous, it really is - probably my best purchase for the kitchen.

Some pics for you, to show you the beautiful food it makes....

A really easy one, baked potatoes - so much tastier than microwaved - crispy skins, soft fluffy potato inside :-



And yesterday I made a traditional Yorkshire dish - Toad-in-the-Hole and it came out perfect and I cannot make Yorkshire puddings - but The Remoska can :rotfl:



The Irish sausage were perfect and the Yorkshire Pud was beautiful - fluffy, crispy on the edges and it rose beautifully.

Yes, I love my Grande Remoska :T

I bought 2 of these in the lakeland sale and have already used them

they fit into the grande. 1 is also a good compartment. The round one also fits into the grande. Results are good

Thanks for loads of tips, recipes and inspiration. I finally ordered the Grande yesterday and found out today that I'd won £150 of Waitrose vouchers via the Competitions thread. So the outlay doesn't seem quite so big now. Looking forward to working my way through the recipes.

I am slowly ploughing my way through this thread - but I've only reached page 23!!!!!
Is there a list of Remoska recipes here somewhere? Otherwise it could take me the rest of the year to get through........
