Remoska cookers (merged)

jan2januk

Hi Desperate Housewife,
Slight misunderstanding (me not being clear enough!) when I talked about the container, I meant the Yorkshire pudding when cooked was used as a container for the mince and gravy! However, I do also use foil - 2 layers for strength and shaped inside a ramekin or small bowl - if I want to cook several things separately in the Remoska. Or any ovenware that fits in basically; I'm still experimenting. I do like its versatility.

Has anyone tried making the "Artisan Bread" in the Remoska? We are loving having fresh bread every day - but hate to think of the cost of heating an oven to do this over a year.

If the answer is "Yes - and its as good as it is in the oven" then I for one will be popping over to Lakeland to order one up.

Yes you can! I have just been experimenting with it, and will do some more because I think it is promising. Just posted my findings here

Thanks Jan2januk, I see what you mean now! I'm going to experiment with the ramekins too. What would be great would be some squarish tins with one side rounded iyswim, so you could fit 4 in then cook up to 4 separate things!

Hi Champys, I've just had a quick look at the artisan bread thread and it looks very interesting, I might give it a go with the remoska.

Thanks for the info Csarina, nice to here the remoska standing up to so much use.

BTW, my bread was delic and the jacket potatoes were lovely, fluffy inside and crispy outside, I rubbed them with a bit of olive oil before I put them in and they cooked quicker than I thought they would, they seem to take ages in the oven.

I'm loving this thread

I was surprised how well the Remoska did a baked potato (never really liked them done in the microwave) I thought it was even better and quicker than doing it in the oven.

Hi Craftyscholar, yes, I was surprised too, they were much better than the oven.

I'm doing the chicken breasts roasted on a bed of vegetables out of the book tonight, looking forward to that.

I'm still too scared to try bread. If it all goes to hell (which it always does with me) I will go in a MOOD !

I am doing tasty potato wedges sprinkled with an aldi mix plus baked beans in the separator

Just thinking aloud here but silicone muffin cases would be good for doing eggs I think

Desperate_Housewife_2-2

Go one Mardatha, give it a go, its easy!

I agree about the silicone cases Kittie but I had a look in Lakeland and they are pricey, its a good idea though because I bet they don't scratch the lining.

Don't know if anybody has already mentioned but Asda have packs of 12 silicone muffin cases for £2.00.They are as good as the one's I paid £6 for in Marks and Spencers and there are three very pretty pastel colours in the pack.I got them the other day and they worked great in the remoska.

oooh I feel another bike trip coming up. We cycled 12 miles to Bridgend and 12 back, the other day for a zip and we couldn`t get one anywhere!! Asda is 11 1/2 miles away so I think we`ll cycle there for the muffin cases and odds and sods. It will save me cutting my good ones up, not that I`ll ever use the big oven again
