Remoska cookers (merged)

rice is 1 part rice to 2 parts boiling water ( in a sutalble container) and does brilliant in the remmy - about the same time as boiling on the stove but takes up all the lquid to give light and fluffy rice every time - brilliant

1st September today so the guaranteed prices out of the old catalogue now finished (I bet Lakeland are breathing a sigh of relief!)

I want to do a taglietelle carbonara tonight as that is what the leftovers are dictating! I can't think of any way to do it in the remoska so it will have to be a pan I'm afraid, unless any clever bods out there know of a way? The cookery book says you can do fresh pasta but I only have dried, don't want to risk a revolution at teatime and get it wrong.

Had 1st botch up job last night, I tried a new recipe though and I blame the dodgy cookbook (a Greek cookbook translated very badly!) I tried some Greek biscuits which called for rubbing butter into semolina (1/2 fat to semolina) and make to a dough with cinnamon water, roll into a dough and stuff with ground almonds and sugar and bake...bore no resemblance to what I had in Cyprus and it all fell apart but I reckon it wasn't the poor old remoskas fault. Never mind in true OS style I am saving the crumby bits in a tupperware box for a crumble topping.

I did some frozen fish fingers and frozen oven chips for tea last night and they were very nice.

I'm just having a little chuckle to myself here, you guys must think all I do is eat! Although we are known in our family for talking about what we are going to eat tomorrow while eating our dinner!

Cooked some bacon yesterday and really enjoyed it especially not having a messy hob to clean up!

Made brownies from the Bero book (thanks Kittie) on Friday - most impressed particularly as I've not baked for a long time.

OT but for those in Quidco if you haven't joined a Quidclan there is a new one http://www.quidco.com/quidclans/view/mse-old-styler-s and if it gets 250 members quick enough should all get a £5 play.com voucher

Hi linni, what recipes are you going to try out of the book? I've done quite a few and they have been good, it also gave me a 'feel' for what the remoska can do and the confidence to try new things.

Hi Janey51, which remoska did you get? have you decided what you are going to try in it yet?

I worked out the pasta for tonight, I put some olive oil and butter in the remoska and cooked chopped onion, courgette, mushrooms while I cooked the penne pasta on the hob. Added the cooked pasta to the remoska and tossed them altogether with an egg and some grated cheese and a bit of chicken stock. Left it to cook a bit longer and it was very tasty. I've had another go at some biscuits and did the bishops fingers ones out of the mary berry cake book I borrowed from the library (very tempted to buy this book...) and they turned out well.

Tomorrow I'm doing a chicken curry and rice with a sauce and extra onions, I love curry!

Still enjoying it!

fingers crossed, I have just put a huge amount of sourdough in the grand remoska. As always I fed and nurtured the starter for 3 days and now 72 hours later have added all the rest of the flour, ground malt etc so the ingredients are in for a good loaf. Bm baking of a sourdough is not nearly as good as the trials I did in the standard remoska so I have gone all out today, I`ll be baking tonight as it will be rising at least 12 hours

Hi Desperate Housewife

I am going to try the Baked Bean Soup! Sweet & Sour. Courgettes, Chedder, Parsnip & Potato Bake, most of the sausage receipies and lots of puddings. Just waiting for the kids to go back to school so I can decide in peace what to make next... Very difficult to choose. Have made bread & rolls, pasta, flapjacks, chicken dishes and so far all have been brilliant. Haven't used my oven since I got my Remoska. I got the Grande with the rack and will be looking for the liners next!

Hi,
I have been reading through some of the posts, afraid to say that i havent read all the pages, as there is so many!!!
I went in lakeland yesterday to see what this remoska looked like!as i had never even heard about them. Im busy playing with my new gadget a slow cooker, so im a little behind in gadgets!
Can anyone tell me please, whether this would be suitable for cooking vegetarian meals in?and would I be able to cook a meal for the whole family in it, without having to use the cooker at all? What vegetarian meals are you cooking?
It looks such a lot of money, and i need to be reassured that I would be able to use it a lot during the week to justify spending so much money. Is it a novelty gadget, does anyone have one now, just sitting in the bottom of their cupboard.
From what I have read, it sounds to be a good product!
many thanks

Tried out my new baby last night although I cheated a bit. I made macaroni cheese as usual but baked it in the Remoska. It was lovely, took 20 mins. I will try a veggie bake tonight with wedges. I visit the Edinburgh shop quite frequently and can spend hours in there but ordered this by phone. When it was delivered OH was in fits saying typical me, spend lots to save a little. As we were in the middle of decorating and I was crabby anyway, I shoved the electricity bill in his face and said see! As I bought the rack, a liner and a lettuce knife too I hid them. He saw the free tools and foil though and started laughing again. Why do men not see the logic in this?
