Remoska cookers (merged)

FrogSaver

Hi!
First post here and I spent all day yesterday reading this thread...!!:o
I am about to order but I am still undecided about which size to go for :undecided! The decision depends on whether my existing dishes will fit inside the bowl.

I have to fork out to have the order sent to France (£30 :eek:) and I don't want to find that I cannot use the bread pans or the other dishes.

Lakeland gives the dimensions for the Grand as 32cm Dia. x 9.5cm H. (12½" x 3¾") but I am not sure if this is the outside measurement (including the outside lip) or not...!
Could someone who has one post the bowl inside dimention please?!


Thanks in advance.

I would like some advice from experienced Remoska users please
I have been experimenting with my 'new' (freecycle) Remoska and so far am delighted with baked potatoes, roast potatoes and chicken pieces cooked in it.
But I have tried small sponge cakes and muffins and was disappointed.
I cooked them in paper cases which stood in foil cases (as recommended on here) in a ring, on the bottom of the pan.
But although perfectly edible, they were rather 'dense' compared with oven baked.
Did I do something wrong?

I can't post the measurements just yet as I am in work not at home, but as a quick response, the base of the Remoska is smaller than the rim (the sides are slightly tapered) and it is definitely just a little less than 30cm/12". I know this because I tried to cook a 12" pizza and had to cut it into slices and do a few at a time The book actually recommends it as being good for pizzas up to 9" diameter (which leaves room for easing them in and out of the pan).

Am I the only one who never uses their own dishes/tins etc, in their Remie?:beer: I cook absolutly everything in the pan and have never had any problems. I cook rice, pasta bakes, curries, joints and chops, bread, scones everthing right in the pan. I do have a seperator pan that I use when doing rice and curry or chilli and that works well. :j
The only think I havn't really done much of is cakes as we don't eat them, think I might have done one once but can't remember how it went:o

Yes, just add on 20 minutes to the time it states on the instructions - time it takes for the Remoska to get to full heat

I have just measure mine and it is about (11") 28cm across the bottom of the inside of the pan so the measurements Lakeland give are external ones.

I always use various tins in mine, so if you have a particular size that you want to use, let me know what it is and I will see if I have something a similar size and will try it for you.

I have a Standard and hardly ever use an 'extra' pan/dish in it - though I do use the shallow pan for quite a lot of things. I have never used my divider thingie, and only use the rack very occasionally. Am very keen on shielding things with silver foil tho. Has anyone successfully made a beef casserole in theirs ? I would try one in the deep pan with lots of layers of shielding foil, but I really think beef needs long and slow and I am too mean to try just in case I ruin it. Anyone tried it ?

I wouldn't do a beef casserole in the moski, I'd do it in the slow cooker - stewing beef needs long, slow braising, as you say. What I have done though, is make a casserole in sc, then transferrred it into moski with dumplings placed in a ring around the top to finish it off.
I did baked potatoes in it yesterday for the first time - beautiful :j
