JohnP Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Any one use one of these? Are they all they are cracked up to be? Do they do what it says on the tin and do it well? Are they cheaper to buy in mainland Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caggsie Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 yes, Yes and yes. very forgiving piece of kit. Don't know where you can get them abroad. I understand you can only get them from lakeland in UK. Maybe someone may say something different. regards Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 For anyone else (like me ) who has no idea what this is; it appears to be some kind of electric cooker. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac111051 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 one of the best things we have ever purchased used it all over Europe, cooks anything , oven chips, fish ,cakes etc and never triped the electric, we now use it at home, only available from lakeland never seen one for sale abroad, for what you get I think it,s overpriced but still worth having Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuwsmith Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Yes, they really are good. And yes, they do seem expensive for what they are but that is what I like about them - their simplicity. After using one in the camper we bought an additional one for use at home. It is used nearly every day for our evening meal. Consider it one of our best buys. It seems that Lakeland are sole distribitors of the Remoska so I think you are unlikely to find it for sale elsewhere although there are similar items available but can't remember the name of 'em.

vindiboy Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 We bought both of ours in Spain, one from a table top sale on a camp site we were on and the second one at a Rastro, {car boot sale } Fabulous bit of kit , great roasts , cakes , etc, etc, You can only buy from Lakeland in England, three sizes available, low wattage too.

JENIAN Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Invented and manifactured originally before WW11 in Czechoslovakia. Had one for 2 years. Bought at lakeland. Used extensively at home and abroad. Low wattage. Cooks just about anything. We have purchased a inner separator (the wife's veggy). Megga piece of kit. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yagsas Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 We have a Bravoska www.bravoska.co.uk much more versatile, not only does it bake with the heat source on the top but when you have the heat source to the bottom it can be used as a frying pan we love it.

potjoe Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 We have looked at these as well,can i ask for info on which one small-mid or large one as we no there are three of them???. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minstrel Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I agree with all the above. The last time remoskas came up on the forum some recipes were put on. I find that anything I can cook at home in the oven can be done in the remoska, but casseroles I've not tried, I use it as an oven. We cook for two in a medium one, but you can get three chicken pieces, chops etc in the medium one. I made cheese scones at home in mine today.

catinou Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I absolutely agree with all that has been posted above - you will never regret it John, we have just cooked our chicken in it tonight - delicious B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthmover Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Hi, Just remember that what ever you cook in a Remoska, It will take, 1- hour to cook. Also just remember the cooker stand gets HOT as well, so keep it clear of anything plastic. A good piece of kit. EM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Highe Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Hi We have one and it is a very economical and effective bit of kit. One or two tips: don't buy the largest, we did and it is too big for two. Don't use it outside in cold weather, the pan doesn't get hot enough.

JENIAN Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I agree with Peter. Which one have you bought? It makes no differance, they are all great. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JENIAN Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Just toured Europe for 4 weeks and the small Cadac grill etc etc and Romaska were in use all the time. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 I ended up buying the standard version.After all there's only me and sometimes the cat. It work a treat. The Remoska, not the cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindiboy Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Just an aside, the lid {which contains the heating element } of our Remouska rattles and being a mendologist I had to find out why.On taking the lid apart I found that the heating element is a coiled spring type of thing and every few centimetres it has a collar of ceramic material round it rather like the necklace sweet thing you buy for kids or like the series of floats you see on fishing nets, so the rattle is perfectly normal as all this fits in a designed ring . Happy cooking (lol) (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
