    Have a look at this thread from the Old Style board:

  • I've had one for years and I love it.

    It's much quicker than putting the big oven on and consequently saves time and money. I've made cakes, scones, casseroles, jacket potatoes, roast chicken and other meats - the list is endless.

    I've heard of people saying that the non-stick lining comes off but I think they must have used metal tools in because mine is still like new inside (which means a wipe round is often all it needs to clean it).

    It appears that Lakeland have a new model out this month which is much more expensive than the older model and without the glass in the lid....which I would miss, so I would have a look on eBay where you may well find one of the older models for sale.

    HTH
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    I have a large, medium and tiny Remoska (M and T from charity shops for pence) and they are fab. I would heartily recommend them. I would always choose the large size as the medium is quite small and the small is tiny-great products though.

    Bought one about 15 years ago, used regularly but after about 10 years the element stopped working. Seemed simple job to replace so I phoned Lakeland, to my amazement they said don't supply parts but will replace the whole cooker. All I had to do was put the broken one in the box and arrange for it to be collected. This was fantastic customer service; can you think of any other company that would do this?
    Probably use 3 or 4 times a week to cook dinner. I know they seem a bit expensive but the running costs are very low. I wouldn't be without mine. A great buy from a great company.

    The Grand Remoska costs just under £170 from Lakeland.

    I've now had my Remoska for quite a few years, and still find it very useful. I bought mine second-hand from Ebay as I wasn't sure whether I would use.

    They really are a useful gadget that you can cook almost anything in. Wouldn't like to be without it.

    I've been considering buying one too, but was put off because they've redesigned it without the window - how they can imagine that not being able to see what's cooking is an improvement I do not know. There is a Tefal alternative http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tefal-Roast-Multi-Function-Electric-Cooker/dp/B009TOU26U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1394944698&sr=8-1&keywords=remoska which I think could be a possibility, and it's quite a bit cheaper than the Remoska.
