Slice the peppers and the haloumi and scatter olive oil over them in the Remoska. Bake ...... Heaven.

I have just made the most wonderful chilli in the Remoska - so simple and it looks GORGEOUS. Browned the mince first for about 15 minutes and then threw in a jar of 'Chilli' sauce and let it cook for about 25 minutes. It was absolutely effortless and so nice not to have to put the oven on!

Dear Sirs,

I am a 74 year old man and have never done any cooking until I purchased a Standard Remoska from Lakeland 3 weeks ago.

Now through necessity and survival I am glad that I have discovered the Remoska. My priorities are:

1. Using the least utensils as possible ( less washing up ! )

2. To cook fresh meat,poultry, fish ( Mackerel, Haddock, Skate Wings, Pollack, Salmon, Whiting ). And fresh vegetables. All items commonly available. To do this in one operation if possible.

3. The simplest recipes with no odd ingredients, also I need to keep my bad cholesterol level down.

I particularly like one contributor's ( Liz C ) Vegetable Pie when she says " .....anything you have in" even though it involves using a frying pan for part of it ! It tastes good.

An important point about the Remoska is that is does not have to sit in the kitchen. If I am working in the garage it can be plugged in there, and I can keep an eye on it easily, and eat from it there if necessary!

I made a Rhubarb Crumble ( Remoska Book ) and it sat on the dining room table with an extension lead and was served straight from the Remoska. (less dishes, also keeps warm until ready to eat ).

It would be good if you could invite your contributors to come up with some good ideas for very basic cooking ( think stone age ) on the lines of the above mentioned for ignorant, I suppose, people like me who just need to survive. Never mind about any spices or difficult or uncommon ingredients.

Yours sincerely,

Adrien Wi

Dear Adrien

I would just like to say I’ve had a Remoska for just over a year now and we still love it. It is certainly one great invention.

We bought the grand one, for 2 adults 2 young children, I also have the rack so I can cook on two levels and the shallow pan which I use if cooking for less/ or pizza.

The main benefits I see apart from you don’t need to use your main oven again ( which has now become a store cupboard), is the electricity saving, I’ve reduced my electricity consumption by a 1/3rd now I’m not using my big oven, to warm up things just cook the kids tea etc. Things take slightly longer to cook so for me who normally forgets to check items in the oven are now just right in the remoska, and we can take it camping.

Dear Susan

I am just writing to say how much I love my Remoska. I bought it originaly as we share a small campervan with my in-laws, and I didn't want to be stuck making the same meals as we only have a gas hob. But it never hasn't got to campervan weather yet, and I've never had my oven on!!

At first I thought oh no this is no good. I tried making scones but I put them on the rack and they burnt. I bought a pizza and had to cut it to size (but still a bit too big) and put it on the rack and it burnt.

Then I looked at the cookbook and just stuck the scones straight in on the bottom of the pan, no greasing no nothing, and they were perfect So I thought I'll try a few different types of things out, then lend it to my mother-in -law to get used to it before putting it in the cupboard to wait for campervan season. My mother-in-law has only lent it for two days before I nicked it back.

I've made, scones, fish and chips, pork stroganoff, ginger cake, bread rolls, pasta bake, lentil curry, baked apples, baked bannans with chocolate, prawn and pepper filo parcels, cooked ready made dough balls, flapjack ( all done in the one pan brill !), berry muffins, roast chicken, yorkshire puddings.......etc ....

It's easier than turning the oven on, you don't have to wait for it to warm up . It wipes out really easy, which is good because I hate cleaning it's a waste of time !

I would say a great addition to it is individual silicon cake cases. I'm surprise lakeland don't stock them ? I made my muffins and yorkshire puddings in them.

Great invention ! I love it

Dear Lisa

Thank you very much for your message, and we are delighted to hear how pleased you are with your Remoska. (If you have any photos of dishes cooked in the Remoska, we would be happy to put them on our website).

I will pass your comments on to the 'Remoska Team', and also on to Lakeland.

The 'Team' have again been invited this year to put on some Remoska Cooking evenings in some of the Lakeland shops around the country, so 'watch this space' for dates and venues, in case there is one in your area.

Thank you again

Kind regards

Hooray For Home CookingYesterday I bought a standard Remoska & used it for our evening meal basically using the Chicken and Roast Vegetables recipe in the cookbook but changed the timing slightly to cook salmon fillets instead of chicken. We were thrilled with the quality of the result! Usually we steam our fish, but today I have relegated the steamer to our (rather full) defunct gadget cupboard! I imagine it would be correct to say that pretty well every oven-cooked recipe in my One Pot Cookbook should work in the Remoska. Timing, of course, be adjusted and recorded for future use. Do you think that dishes, where the directions recommend cooking on the hob, might also work?

Thank you for your excellent informative & friendly website!

Regards,

Ruth P

Dear Ruth

You can cook virtually anything in the Remoska with confidence and perhaps experience. Those of us who have been cooking for longer than we care to remember make the most of the Remoska’s versatility – we are sure you will soon be adapting all your well-tried and tested recipes to cook in the Remoska, as you say adjusting times to suit and dependant upon ingredients. Do not hesitate to contact us again in the future. So glad to hear you were pleased with the initial results and thank you for your thoughful words.

Kind regards

All the Staff,

I just want to let you know how delighted I am with my Remoska. I rarely put on the oven now - I now use the oven as a storage cupboard for all the tins etc. that won't fit in the Remoska!! I also use the rack/trivet to hold the upturned lid of my Remoska, if I'm checking food, or adding ingredients. I find it keeps it steady and safe whilst it is still "on". Again, my thanks to all of you for producing such a great product.

Valerie A

Dear Valerie

Thank you very much for your most useful tips. I will pass them on to the whole team here at Hooray For Home Cooking.

Kind regards

Thank you very much for sending the Remoska - I thought it was going to be ages - it makes my cooking so much easier and things taste so good - I cook cauliflower in it - just add a little water so it doesn't burn and turn it over now and again - it's really good - better than steamed - more cauliflowery.

Suzi B

Hi Suzi

I am very glad it has arrived safely.

Thank you for the tip with cauliflower - I'll pass it on!

Kind regards

Hello

My daughter bought me a Remoska for Christmas. I am absolutely over the moon with it. My husband and I had been looking at them for a long time. My combination microwave has just ‘died’ on me, but I will certainly not be replacing it! We are reluctant to use our main oven as we are on L.P.G. (we live in a Park home) which is extremely expensive. I have used my new Remoska every day since Christmas and have been pleased with everything. Why did we not get one years ago?

I am amazed that something so simple can be so efficient! Long may it reign!!

Regards

Joyce W Windsor

Hi Joyce

Congratulations on being a new owner of a Remoska - and we hope you have many years of delicious meals! Thank you for writing to us - it is always good to know how much people like them!

Hello

I wonder if you could tell me if it is safe to put silicone bakeware in the Remoska.

I have only had my Remoska for a few days and have already made a gorgeous shepherd's pie, lovely light hot cross buns (I know it's not Easter but we enjoy them all year round!) and have cooked frozen oven chips to perfection.

I have thought about buying one of these ovens for a long time. So far I am so pleased with it that I wish I had done so a long time ago!!

Many thanks

Elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth

Any bakeware that goes in your conventional oven is fine to use in the Remoska - you just have to be careful not to scratch the Teflon. A product such as Bake-O-glide can be used to line the base.We are of course delighted to hear of your success so far, and wonder if you have considered our cookbook 'Remoska Cooking', which is proving extremely popular.

Kind regards

Would you please confirm that it is possible to roast a joint of beef in the Grand Remoska. I have trawled the various web sites regarding Remoska cookers, but I have failed to find any information covering this point.

Thanking you in anticipation of your kind attention.

Tom H

Dear Tom

Yes, you can, and it will take roughly the same time as in your traditional oven. We are unable to give exact timings as it is not a precise science. If you cook the joint in a roastabag (not forgetting to pierce the bag first to let the steam out) it will keep the juices in, and you can then roast your vegetables round the outside and they will stay nice and crispy.

Kind regards

Dear Hooray

On the 6th august I purchased a standard remoska after looking through all the good things that had been said about them,and as many owners have said,I haven't used my main electric oven since. it really does do what "it says on the tin" so to speak, I cannot praise it highly enough, so much so I decided to upgrade to the grand model which enables me to make even more use of it. Exactly a month after my purchase, we visited our daughter in Kent,where we originate from. She too loves cooking and I told her all about my remoska, answered all her questions. She had been tempted to buy one, we left her late afternoon to come home to Wiltshire, before we had reached the motorway she had ordered the grand model. She too has not used her main oven since, and is equally as pleased with it as I am,so there are two more very happy cooks, plus the main reason for buying the remoska is we are saving on electricity, which in these times is a big advantage. Well done for introducing me and many others to the finest piece of kitchen equipment in years.

Dear Diane

Thank you so much for your message and we are very pleased we have two more satisfied Remoska users.

Dear Hooray

There is a recipe in the cookbook wich suggests using Garam Masala Curry Paste but I cannot find it anywhere. Can you advise,

Hi Tony

Hi there,

I purchased a Remoska on Friday after reading the reviews, peoples opinions on this website and more.When my Hubby said it had arrived I dived to Sainsburys for a chicken and did the Chicken with roast potatoes and quartered onions. 50 minutes, gorgeous. I also put in some part baked rolls - usually too crunchy in an oven - and they were perfect.

Michaela E

We are so pleased you are happy with your Remoska.
