Sorry, I just use as an oven or pans . I have made bread and scones (I have a sweet tooth). Saves carrying assortment of pans etc.
Just watch the heat, only needs the gentelest of heat.

No special recipies from us I'm afraid, but we find the heat diffuser a worthwhile purchase.

We have one, but as Mrs KSE knows its only the females in our van that get to do any cooking, Im too busy consuming alcohol and watching sport.:winky:

However NIKKI SAYS, that she is well impressed with hers. No recipies im afraid but we are hoping that after the B&B meet we might be able to get some together. We find it especially useful when we are skiing and to heat pies and that sort of thing. We have (sorry Nikki has) even cooked a roast in it.:thumb:

We have had ours for three years, we have two in the motorhome one, large one small and a large one at home. As I do the cooking I must say that I would not be without. I never use the oven at all, I do all of the roasts in them complete chickens and roast potatoes are a doddle! As for recipes just do what you think, as it is just like an oven use it like one. My latest creation is a Weetabix cake. It does take a while to cook though. Have fun using it and enjoy!! :thumb::thumb:

Use ours all the time cook everything from a joint of lamb, toasties, jacket potatoes, but one of my new favourites is potoato wedges, what I do is put a circle of Bako glide on the top and bottom of the pan then put the potato wedges or chunks of carrots sweet potato put just a drop of olive oil onthem and a pit of salt and pepper or any other seasoning you want, put the pans together, once the pans are hot turn them down quite low and keep turning, they are healthy and delicious and a change from ordinary potato.

Recipes????
Just use your imagination, you will find you can cook just about anything in them, I got two-one in the house & one in MH. if you fancy a fruit cake it's a bit fiddly but can be done. I don't bother with a frying pan anymore-saves space.
I have Double skillet, Remoska and a big pan for the seafood/mussels.
Let me know if you want details for fruit cake.

Did this last night very tasty.
Take skins off sausages and break each sausage into about 3 or 4 pieces.
Scrub a large potato or a couple of smaller one and chop into chunks-not too big.
Peel & chop a large cooking apple, not too small or it will disappear.
I used a jar of Tomato and Garlic Pasta Sauce, but a can of Chopped Tomatoes and some crushed Garlic will bo ok, you don't have to use the garlic.
Pepper & salt. I never use salt intentionally.
Chop an onion & fry in a little oil till just starting to brown, add the potatoes, sausages, seasoning and the tomatoes & garlic or sauce stir well keep on a med heat, add Apple & stir in get it to a good heat-just starting to bubble. Turn down to lowest setting put top pan on and cook for about 20 mins, stir once or twice-the more you remove the lid the more heat you loose.
It will be cooked when the potatoes and apple are soft. if it's too wet leave lid off and turn heat up for a few mins but watch it doesn't burn.:thumb:

Right now I'm trying Shortcake, I will post my results-sorry tho you won't get to eat it!

My Double Skillet is the large one 9 inch. I have done a 'boiled' fruit cake twice now but takes quite a long time and you could end up with a burnt bottom-the cake not you personally!!!!
:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
Has anyone got a 'Diablo' it's a toasted sandwich maker, makes smallish round sandwiches-used in the flame on top of the cooker! Great fun and very handy for snacks.

Hi there. I'm really tempted to get either a remoska or a double skillet. Can anybody tell me which is best and which size DS I should get for the two of us. I would get a standard remoska if I go in that direction.

I can also see that the DS would be useful if you don't have EHU but maybe the remoska would be better if you always have EHU. Hmmm - quandrary.

never had the DS but have a grand ramoska.

unless you plan on only 'liquid' meals...stews etc...i think the standard ramoska is too small for two at 8" wide.
the grand is 12.5" wide

you can get a whole chicken and roast tatties in the grand ramoska and it roasts a lot quicker and just as thoroughly than an oven. :thumb:

We bought the large DS but then Steph mentioned to Jill at Lincoln that she also has a small one for extras. I resisted at Lincoln - but how long can I hold out? ::bigsmile:

I was concerned before we got the DS because I thought the price was a bit high for a couple of pans but can honestly say every penny well spent.

Right - I think it will be the double skillet. Here's the biscuit recipe we used when I did school dinners only I use real butter, but its up to you.

It is just 3, 2, 1. That's 3 of plain flour, 2 of butter and one of sugar. So 9oz, 6oz and 3oz. Just shove it all together, children love doing this, then flatten it out and cut shapes. I put it in the oven on 180 for about 15 mins but do check 'cos I usually just check as I'm passing. They must still be pale and will be a bit soft when you take them out but crisp up as they cool. Good one for the MH.

We are newbies
We bought a large ds at the motorhome show in Peterborough (not got our van yet) but I use it all the time! Chicken thighs with bbq seasoning with a little squeeze of guinness ketchup and leave it on a low heat for 1 hour - skin side down - save the juice as a stock :)

I emailed them in January and Frances Foulds replied saying they are still in business but at that time were out of stock after a busy Christmas. I would imagine if you email her she will contact you:Smile:

:Smile:Anyone sitting on the fence on this one, I would say jump off and buy one, I have had mine for 10 years and its had lots of serious use. We don't have a oven or grill in the Hymer so it is all things to us, use it for just about anything, from a full roast dinner / Jacket Potatoes/ Toastie Sandwiches, then it can be used as two saucepans (I bought a extra lid) and would recommend a diffuser, best if heating up pies etc.

I have decided to buy myself a new one this season, for though there is nothing wrong with the one we have it is definitely getting battered looking. My only difference is this time I will buy a large one instead of the small size.

I have noticed it is a quite old thread, but still relevant.
