Remoska - cheaper than oven?

MrsPorridge

I have a standard size remoska which I only use in our motorhome.  Now I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to use that in the house instead of the cooker?  For instance tonight we are having sausage pasta bake which I made a few weeks back and froze.  So it will only take about 30 mins to heat it up.  Am I better using the oven to do that or the remoska?  Anyone have any ideas please?  We don't have a smart meter as we live in a remote area which doesn't support the signal, so I can't check using that.

Thinking about it logically I think the remoska would be more efficient as its only a small thing to heat up, the oven is quite big.  But, maybe I'm wrong.

Definitely cheaper. The space to be heated is much smaller.
We've used ours a lot recently having taken our oven out to refit the kitchen, and have definitely found it much cheaper. That said, a remoska reaches around 190C so its not the best for items needing a higher temperature.  Yes, cooking times can be extended to compensate, and sometimes this is ok, unless you want to 'crisp' chips etc.

Remoska will certainly be cheaper.  Uses 600w as opposed to about 3Kw for an oven.  May take longer to cook but certainly worth it.

I have a standard one in the motorhome and a Grande indoors which uses about 900w but still a lot less than an oven.

I only really use my big oven when I am doing a lot of baking I use my Remoska every day
