Remoska cookers (merged)

Oldernotwiser

Sorry to come in late to the discussion but I'm planning to buy one and I'm a bit puzzled by a couple of comments. Like most people, I'm planning on saving money by using this instead of the oven but several people have been talking about using it for things like bacon/eggs/sausage whic I'd normally dry fry. What would be the advantage in using the Remoska to cook things like this? Have I missed something?

remoska seems to hold the flavour in better, it is easy to wash and nothing splashes out. I did my first `grilled` sausages in it last night, over small potato wedges and they were the nicest ever. They cooked better and were much quicker to cook as well

I had 4 riverford peaches yesterday and they feel a bit too firm so I poached them this morning in a 1/2" of liquid made from water, bit of sugar and splash of amaretto. They smell delicious. I will put a half into a dish with some rachels yoghurt and my hm granola

ps that remoaska granola is the best ever. It is so adaptable and we love it as a desert as a yoghurt topping with maybe some blueberries

OOOH- did I miss recipe for this Kittie? I would love to make some and send it to Uni with my daughter next month!



Well my remoska arrived 10 mins ago-excellent service from Lakeland and from the courier company who tried to deliver yesterday. Lady said she thought it might be a Mosky and just knew the 'lady of the house' would be desperate to try it out so came back today!

I am surprised (but very pleased) that the base pan is so light. Do you have to 'heat up' any of it all before using? I am planning on making my fave curry recipe in it tonight,although the kids are nervous that I might 'spoil' their favourite in an unknown cooking implement (they didn't like it done in the slow cooker lthough I thought it was fine,just different!)

I hve found a circular teflon liner in my oven drawer,unused and fits the base really well with some coverage up the sides,and also a lot of my little cooking dishes and tins fit it so really can't wait to start playing!

HI Suzi,

Congratulations on getting your Remoska, I'm sure you'll soon use it for everything

You don't have to warm it up first, in the booklet it tells you not to in case you damage the Teflon.

Good luck with the curry - let us know how it turns out

blimey, I had one of those distracted moments today and switched the remoska on without the base rack under the pan. Phew good job I noticed in within 5 minutes and it was on a granite worktop. Close shave :eek:

I was in a hurry today as I suddenly had to change my plans and had 1 hour to get a chicken and accompanying veg cooked. Organic chicken too and they always need longer to cook. This bit concerns my pressure cooker: lightly fried lean chopped streaky bacon in olive oil, + garlic+leeks. Shoved a whole lemon and some sprigs of bay leaf into the chicken cavity and put the chicken in with a handful of scrunched dried porcini (home dried) and a small can of cider +pepper. P cooked 25 mins and in the meantime did potatoes, carrots, courgette and toms in olive oil with a sprinking of rosemary, in the remoska. Amazingly all was cooked just in time and even made a delicious gravy. I don`t know what I would have done without the remoska for veg today and all in one pan too

I have been fancying doing biscuits in the remoska and think I`ll look for a suitable shortbread recipe. If anyone has done one will you please post

Welcome to the club SuziQ

Hope you enjoy you 'Moska'

Helped on a Battery Hen Welfare Trust rescue yesterday and took some 'Moska' flapjacks along to have with coffee. They went down very well. There will be at least one more 'Moska' sale as a result!

Mine will be doing a sausage casserole tonight.

Cooked some fish fingers (in the shallow pan) to a turn at lunchtime and had fish finger butties. Delicious!

Only got my shallow pan the other day. Things do seem to cook a lot quicker in it.

Still struggling with soggy chips. What am I doing wrong? Could it be because I am cutting chips from 'real' potatoes and not using frozen oven chips?

muppet81, I haven`t tried this but how about soaking the chips in water, to get rid of some starch. Drying very thoroughly and just using a squirt of oil

If that fails maybe a dusting of flour?

Found just what I wanted whilst looking in a charity shop today... A Remoska recipe book, unused, for 50p.:D already learnt that i can pre heat oil before adding ingredients. Can't wait to try the recipes. Was going to buy one from Lakeland on my next visit.

Did you do the flapjacks in the shallow tin and did you do them just in the Moska tin or did you use a tin inside the Moska. Also how long did you cook them for?

Mine were an absolute disaster but did them in a tin inside the Grand deep pan. Just wonder where I went wrong?
