Remoska – what people say

What other people say

Don’t tak eour word for it... simply put the word ‘remoska’ into a search engine like ‘Google’... there are new independent reports, blogs and messages appearing regularly.

There are numerous websites out there, but to save you the trouble of trawling the internet, here are a few of other people’s comments (as written) that might answer any queries you have.

Messages are presented as written, warts and all, only the anonymity of the author is protected.

We are long term Remoska users - most days it is in use, both in the caravan and the house. Once you start to understand how the cooker works, anyone who cooks using a normal oven, grill or frying pan will get the hang of what to do. As noted above, the only things that can go wrong are scorching on the top which can be rectified with a piece of foil over. Also, scorching can be alleviated by using the deep pan instead of the shallow pan - I mostly use the shallow pan as it is quicker to heat up - so if yoiu haven't got one, then this is worth getting. I also keep the shallow pan inside the deep one - again improves insulation and makes it quicker.

We have dishes that we cook in the Remoska that we now won't cook any other way, because it is so much more efficient and the results are tastier - I think because it works slightly like a pressure cooker, a lot of the flavours are sealed in. For example, sausages, baked potatoes, any meat (I'm veggie, but my husband is a Remoska convert also), croissants and bacon! We have the Grand size, for our family of four - and it is very useful for heating ready made meals (sorry - I'm a working Mum)! I very rarely make cakes, so can't comment on that side - but intuitively I think it would work well. Just make sure you don't leave them too long as it normally takes less time than a conventional oven.

What not to cook? Anything that requires a lower temperature - we like the Costco brownie mix, which the recipe says requires 45 mins at 160 degrees - in the remoska, even if taken out early, it;'s like a brick! Just too hot I think. Meringues would be a disaster. We have tried the toasties with the wire rack, they were very nice, if a little slow. We have now discovered the Lakeland Toastie bags which are fantastic and much quicker.

So experiment - bearing in minds the homilies above, you can't go wrong - you'll love it!

Oh, and if you are sceptical about the efficiency claims ... at his request I bought my husband an Owl monitor for Xmas (you can tell how much electricity you are using in the house on a second by second basis) - as claimed, the Grand Remoska uses about 650W - if we turn on our conventional electric oven, it shoots up to 2.5KW!

Happy cooking (and eating)

I can only say, if you haven't got one, get one. We used it every day whilst away, for all our meals from reheating a curry to cooking breakfast and an evening meal.

Excellent

We use ours just about everyday down here in Spain....brilliant...

We got our standard one on Saturday for use both home and away. I have used it both days so far and am very impressed. There are only 2 of us but I managed to do a casserole which had enough for 3 portions and we have large portions (hence our weight problem). I got the recipe book as well and there are some smashing recipes in there which I will be trying. I was going to replace my fan oven as it cooks too fast I won't bother now.

At first I used it for the Van only and then decided to take it indoors at home and it is used at least 5 times a week. Yesterday I bought some reduced over ripe pears and along with a Cake mix (Delia fashion) made a lovely unside down cake. Although I live alone the Cake has now been eaten expanding my waistline somewhat. I borrowed a friend's large Remoska one holiday in the van but felt it was too large, so I bought the baby Remoska to keep in the Van. Even the baby one takes two fairly large baking potatoes. For cakes and puddings I use cake liners you can get at Lakeland. They are reasonably cheap and saves washing up and things sticking to the pan. Use a circle of foil over cakey things to stop burning as the heat comes from the top. Favourite of mine is any veg thown in, trickle of cooking oil over then when nearly cooked put in chops or breast of lamb and let go crispy and brown. Yummy.

Sizes?? We have the medium which is OK for two. The small one is - well, small!! I would work on the principle that you can always cook a small meal in a big one . . . . and with such a low wattage you are not wasting much leccy!!

We love ours too! Not used my new book yet but will be doing soon, looks and sounds to be some excellent things in there.

Hallo - actually I find it even better than the write ups! Clean, convenient and totally versitile. Buy the cookery book (I think we got ours in Lakeland) to set you off on years of good eating. In the motorhome, you can use it inside when it's cold weather and outside with an extension lead when it's hot so the motorhome keeps as cool as possible. Good eating

Agree totally with Sue. We have had ours for about 6 months now - have done stews, pizzas, bread rolls, fajitas, curry, rice, jambalaya, you name it. My better half now brings it into the kitchen and uses it instead of the oven -(only 450 watts instead of 2000!). Cannot recommend it highly enough. Only drawbacks: it is expensive for what it is and you have to experiment with cooking times, but you soon get used to that. And believe it or not I have no shares in the company and get no commission. And Lakeland (the only people who sell them)customer service is a shining example of what customer service should be! Give them a ring

Hi Jane nd Martyn

We've had a Remoska for years, in fact in our van we opted for no oven having experienced its virtues. Its great for part baked bread, we found the use of a trivet you can get from Lakelands a great asset if you like crispy jacket spuds, I have even grilled a Haxon in it. Its easier to clean than any oven and can do any thing a oven can. The only downfall is if you no hookup, inverter or generator your stumped, but then if your out of gas your oven is kaput.

Kind regards

Richard

Hi James,

Yes they are and iIam sure that others on this site will endorse that view. Have a look at the site Joy recommends above.

I am not a gadget person, but it does do all that it says it does! For example, yesterday I cooked a fruit crumble, which took about 20mins. Then cooked a jacket pot for approx 1 hour (you can speed this up if you whizz in the m/wave first) and then added salmon in foil with a few vegs for the last 15-20 mins. Just the non-stick cooking pot to wash and i could watch Corrie whilst it was cooking. I have the standard size which is great for me, but I think if you are cooking for more than 2 then I would go for the larger model. I regret not buying the larger one now. I am going to buy a rack (which is good for toasties and pizzas apparently) when i go to Lakeland on Friday.

Hope this helps,

Jane

Have you tried a Ramoska? They are excellent. You can get one from Lakeland ( Kitchen stuff.) You can bake, ( if so inclined!!) heat pizzas, quiche, pies, cook stews, heat soup, bake spuds and much more. Get large size. Light to carry. Comes with stand and recipies . A really great buy as we also use it at home rather than heat oven for Pizza etc.

Just bought one and started testing it ready for the summer season.

It put's the van oven in the shade!!!

No pre-heat, runs pretty cool in comparison to a gas oven...

No smells when cooking. The large Ramoska only uses 650w

Simple to clean and can even be used in rooms/hotel stopovers (in a sneaky sort of way)

I can forget hobs, slow cookers for casseroles, ovens for baking and re-heating ready meals, grills for crisping meats and toasting...

MOST IMPORTANT TO ME ....if i'm paying for 6 or 10amps in a site, then I might as well use it! - will cut my gas consumption by at least half this year.
