Wonder Cooker

MRSTITTLEMOUSE

Just wondering after reading the Remoska and slow cooker threads with a view to saving energy,I was wondering if anyone had a "wonder cooker" something I bought from Lakeland years ago.
Its a lid which can be put on any pan that cuts cooking time down,even frozen meat cooks quickly.
I must admit I have'nt used mine as much as I should have but since fuel is so expensive I thought I would dig it out and start using it again.
What I did cook was quite a success.
I would be interested in anyone's recipes who's used theres more than I have.

I bought one years ago and though it was just a gimmick. It didn't seem to be anything special when I used it.

I had a some success but was'nt too impressed either.
Thought it was perhaps me not cookiing the right stuff with it,that's why I asked for inspiration in case I'd missed something.

I have one and didn't find it made much difference in cooking times so it is stuck in the back of my pan drawer

I have one, and I do use it, I find it cooks fried eggs quicker on a lower heat, I also use it to cover the pan when I am making bol sauce for spaghetti. Never tried it for anything else though.

I had one and thought it was absolutely useless -- it seemed to be just a lid. I completed a Lakeland questionnaire in which they asked if you had ever bought anything that you felt didn't work, so I said that I thought it was not good - and they refunded the money even tho it was ages after I bought it. That's one of the reasons why I love Lakeland because while thiings occasionally cost a bit more, their customer service is second to none (I do not work for them !)
PS Remoska really good as energy saving method.

I had one of these, too, and had forgotten about it. It really didn't work for me and I ended up using it just as a large pan lid - it fitted the wok very well.

Maybe it speaks volumes that Lakeland no longer sell it?
