Remoska cookers (merged)

crockpot

Just done some burgers on the rack in the deep pan of my grande and then put some sliced salad pots 49p a bag from aldi, cut into slices and sprayed with spray light, so 1/2 chip half roast, and free on slimming world!

Ds are back out school so will just need to reheat when they get home and add veg which is prepared but not cooked yet.

Did some jackets in it yesterday and must say they were yum!

the more i use it the more I love it!

sad or what?

Just wanted to share my good fortune, bought a Remoska at a jumble sale at the weekend for £1 and it works:j. .

Well done! I might have a look around the charity shops! Mind you, not sure they accept/sell electrical items. But worth a nose anyway.

Just made a lovely pudding: Stewed some rhubarb and put it in the bottom of the shallow pan, about an inch deep. Made an 'all in one' sponge mix with 4oz each of SR flour, sugar, soft margarine, and an egg, plus a teaspoon of almond essence, and spread it roughly over the top of the rhubarb. Cooked in Remoska until done - springs back when pressed in centre - about 20 -25 mins. Served with h/m custard as I had some cream to use up and lots of eggs. Yummo :beer:

This sounds lovely, I love rhubarb!

I have been humming and harrhing about getting a remoska for a while now. I know I am asking the converts, but is it really worth it? Is there anywhere I can get it cheaper than Lakeland?

Thank you.

How many people are you cooking for on a day to day basis? I think this is quite important in helping to make a decision.
I wouldn't be without mine now. I bought it last August and hardly ever use my oven, in fact only if I am cooking for a largish number of people or doing a big batch baking session. For normal everyday things, I use the Moska. I just love it when I am doing bacon, sausage and eggs at the weekend, all done in one pot and so easy to clean.

I don't think there is anywhere other than Lakeland where you can get them from. I did have a couple of problems with mine but rang CS at Lakeland and changed no problem. Would definitely buy another one. In fact my parents were so impressed, I bought them one too.

Oh, and my electricity costs have reduced considerably since using it over the past 8 months. It is just so money saving. I would say go for it, as people have also taken them back to Lakeland if they really don't like it and had a refund. Unfortunately you would probably have to read through the whole thread to find out who has done this but I do remember reading that certainly 1 person did this.

I have also read that some people have got them from e bay but they pay almost as much as you would in Lakeland and obviously you do not have the back up of Lakeland CS. Again I think from memory a couple of people have been very lucky and got them from freecycle - might be worth a try.

I'm so tempted to buy a remoska. I keep reading about how good they are and have had a look on the lakeland site many times.

It does take me a while to make a decision but I think I'm on the tip of ordering

I don't think you will regret it, I wouldn't be without mine now. This will be my first summer having a Remoska and I'm looking forward to not having to put the big oven on when the weather is really hot (hopefully).

Newbie to the remoska here and I need some advice please.

In my freezer I have individual lasagne in foil dishes (the smaller ones you get from Asda and that) and was hoping to cook them in my remoska but I have no idea how long for? I made them up myself and they include red lentils and the uncooked lasagne sheets. I have a standard with both a deep and shallow pan...Help? I really don't want to have to fire up my big electric oven to cook two small lasagnes and I'm determined to get DD eating them!

I can't seem to get shortbread to cook properly in the Remoska. I tried putting tinfoil round the edges, and cooking it for longer but unless I take it out, turn it upside down and put it back in, the bottom stays soft! Has anyone else had any success with shortbread?

could you use a rack to get some air to the bottom?
