sandalwood Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 To buy or not to buy? Recipe book looks daunting, does one just try their own recipes with given cooking times. Saw video of breakfast, two eggs cracked in, two slices bread with cheese, plus bacon, looks good! Never actually seen one, but understand in 2 weeks Lakelland will demonstrate gold one, to celebrate 50 yrs! Any advice would be most welcome. Still do not want to use my MH oven in hot weather. Bemused by all cooking AIDS, Teppanyaki etc. Thanks in advance! :$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archiesgrandad Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Bought one over a year ago, CG reluctantly agreed to try it out in the kitchen at home, I haven't been able to get it into the van yet. Brilliant. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnP Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Agreed. Go out and buy one. You can use your own recipes. I find it ideal for lamb shanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hendry Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 We've had one for years and wouldn't be without it. Chicken curries are great in it and we don't fry off the meat before putting in the Remoska. I do use a jar of sauce to make it a one pan meal. Amazon have sold the Czech cooker (An alternative option) for years also, and this has a thermostat and is cheaper than the Remoska with excellent reviews. Hope that helps.

Its £93.50 there now http://www.remoska.cz/produkty/eshop.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randonneur Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Remoska users - is it worthwhile buying the recipe book from Lakeland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix Meanderer Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Randonneur - 2017-05-29 4:06 PM Remoska users - is it worthwhile buying the recipe book from Lakeland? Her indoors says "yes absolutely". It's got lots of well tried recipes and is a good basis for creating your own. Also worth looking at the Remoska UK website for lots of other recipes: http://www.remoska.co.uk/user-recipes/ Even the CZ original Remoska website has recipies: http://www.remoska.cz/recepty.html Use google translate to read. This week's recipe Hares Dance ...mmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellen Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Had mine for 15years travelled all over Europe wouldn't be without it, cook everything in it including scones and pies. Just bought a second one Lakeland had them on offer. Cooked Sunday lunch yesterday chicken, roast potatoes carrots and roasted parsnips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 We don't have a gas-powered oven in our MH and we've gone through various alternatives: microwave, electric mini oven and Remoska, as well as our Weber gas BBQ. We got the large-size Remoska about 10 years ago and there was an initial burst of enthusiasm, then we tried other solutions. But we are back on the Remoska, on the grounds that it is easy to carry (light, doesn't take up much space) and it works extremely well for a useful range of cooking, especially jacket potatoes which it does extremely well, but also things like chicken joints. It does cakes but I don't like them! The electric mini oven has been ditched (too demanding of storage space) and so has the combination/microwave (takes up a whole locker, too awkward to reach up to, needs 2kw supply) and we're likely to settle for the Remoska and our gas BBQ (which can do pizzas and roast whole chicken) from now on.

AndyLou Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hi, Do these need mains electric? Can they be run using an inverter and how many amps would they use? Sorry if this is a stupid question. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StuartO Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Andy&Lou - 2017-05-30 2:33 PMHi,Do these need mains electric?Can they be run using an inverter and how many amps would they use?Sorry if this is a stupid question.Andy Yes, a Remoska does need a mains voltage supply but its' only about 600 watts, so not much of a current demand, only about 2.5 amps. Not very practical to run one on an inverter however because cooking with a Remoska is a slow business and the 12 volt current drain on the battery from the inverter would be over 50 amps . This would flatten the battery in no time and cause it reparable harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyLou Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Thanks for that StuartO. They look good but we do most of our camping with no electric so I will have to stick to a Dutch Oven and a BBQ. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
