Thanks Gizzie - I feel loved already :j

I've signed up too (well I hope I have) and I'm going to try the cashew risotto later this week.

Just a quick mention. I experimented with lamb neck fillet, browned very quickly and the coated in mushroom pate and wrapped in puff pastry. Into the remoska and cooked until golden ( about 40 minutes). Sort of a lamb beef wellington. The lamb was still slightly pink and very moist as the pate had sort of basted it in the pastry case. We had it with tender stem broccoli that I par boiled refreshed in cold water and then stir fried in the pan I originally browned the lamb in for even more lamby flavor!

Hi
Hope you don't mind me jumping in but have you seen the version that Wilkinsons sell? It's £17.00 and looks like it would be the larger of the original sizes. If anyone has this one could they let me know what they think because I am considering getting one and this would be a saving of well over one hundred pounds!

Do you have a link or any more information on this please?

It doesn't appear to be on their website but it is on sale in the shops. I don't know much more than that only that it looks exactly the same as the big original one and claims to be able to cook stews, chickens and pizzas which is why I'm wondering what the difference could be?

Hi Sharronej
Greatly intrigued: more details, please!
Have just looked at Wilkinson's website & there's nothing like it on kitchen electricals or pots'n'pans. Guess it must be stores only. I don't have a Wilko's anywhere near me, but I know people who do, so it would be good to know all about a possible bargain like this.
Tell us more, do.

Here's the link of the one I have bought from Wilkinsons - it is huge and will easily make two lots of stew etc to feed my family of five. The only difference I can find it doesn't say that you can make cakes and it isn't as frugal on electric. It says Thermostatically controlled 1500w heating element, it has six variable heat setting so I imagine you would only be using the 1500w if you had it on the highest setting. The only other difference is that the electric point is in the base of the pan (removable) rather than on the lid.
This is the picture from the website

Does anyone have any experience of cooking these huge 'caveman-style' turkey drumsticks in the Remoska? I've been reading the thread about them, and apparently they're a bit tough if roasted in a conventional oven, but very good in a slow cooker or used for making soup. I wondered what the Remoska would do to them - I have two in the freezer!

That sounds like a multicooker. I've got one and it's brilliant alongside the remoska but nowhere near as good. I usually have them both on at the same time when I'm making a meal.
