Help with Remoska off grid.

[colyboy]

I have asked similar questions before and I am just about getting my head around it. My possible new van will not have an oven, so it has been suggested by MF members we should consider a Remoska.

The set up in the van will be :- 2000 ps inverter, 2 x 110 lithium batteries,
2x 110 solar panels.

We spend a lot of time off grid and reckon we would use the Remoska two or three times a week at the most. Question will the set up be ok with the Remoska or will it run the batteries down? Will be buying the Grand Remoska which is 580 watts.

Please not to much technical stuff.

Thanks once again.

We use a standard Remoska from a 2000 ps inverter with no problems but try only to use it while we the solar panels are charging and not when it's cloudy; so tend to use to cook during the day.

Might also be worth looking at the Remoska tria - as that can also be used on the hob and has a lid which converts it to a pressure cooker to speed up cooking. It's only standard sized so not as big as the Grande but seems more versatile for off grid to me but think it's a big higher wattage.

would you need a Grand, we have a standard one which is 470 watts , this does use.

wondering that too we can cook for 4 adults with the standard, grand mostly used at home.

How much time in a day would you use the remoska.
Then you an work out the ah fromwhat you have avilable plus the standard usage. If you are driving when wilding daily this will also help some.

each hour would be around 45 amp so approx half of your u110ah capacity

If you move each day, plan your dinner early and use it whilst driving. It’s so nice to arrive at your destination with the dinner cooked.

Also if you get the big one you don’t need to use all the space, but it’s difficult to fit a lot in the small one. When we roast a chicken in the large one we nearly always have to press the chicken down to keep away from the lid to stop it burning.

So the plan is get an ebike, a stand and an inverter. Fit the inverter to the bike and then pedal to create a 240v output to cook your dinner off grid

We use the Remoska both in the van, when on hook up and also have a couple at home which are used quite often. However if you have gas then a double skillet would be just as good. We have one in the van which gets used quite often as does the one we have in the house.

We had double skillets but sold them---- for us the remoska is more practical

Have a standard Remoska and have worked out that you need to double the normal cooking time
Did Jacket potatoes and they took near on 2 hours.

We are following this thread with interest as we are looking to buy a Remoska.

In the depth of Winter, when your likely to want more hot food, the answer is no.

In the height of Summer, yes, but will you want to be cooking hot meals so much then.

The beauty of Lithium batteries is how quickly you can recharge them, and you say ‘off grid’ is that off grid in one place? If not, get a B2B charger installed so ensuring a decent and significant charge when you move from place to place.

My main concern about ‘drop in‘ replacement LithIum batteries is if relies on the existing split charge relay, which is nearly always inadequate and poorly thought out and installed, thus loosing one of the most important benefits of Lithium batteries, their ability to suck up power and recharge

As coastal cruiser says it takes a bit longer to cook the jackets but they are simply the best ever ,i use mine at home all the time

Again if there are only 2 of you go for the smaller one, 40 amps instead of 50, should work fine on a decent inverter, but yes need to manage the power in the winter.

For two people you don’t need a Grand Remoska, standard will be big enough and a lower wattage!
See my PM.

Doesn't it also depend on how greedy you are?

The trick with jackets is rather than use large ones (ie one for each person) use a few smaller ones instead as they cook much quicker and you got more lovely crispy skin!

We have a standard and a grand remoska, the grand would be a complete waste for two people in a motorhome I would think as well. The only time I use my grand is as an overflow oven for roasties when everyone is home! Waste of money really.

Only keeping it until we finally get around to having a new kitchen fitted at home!

We use a slow cooker in our van, brilliant when out for the day and uses only 120 watts. Energy set up similar to yours.

We have standard Remoska in van works well , but,do try not to do the cooking to late in the so the batteries get a chance to recover

We have used the remosker for about 8 years , we put it on when travelling and run it off the 3kw inverter ,
i have 360w of solar and 4 x 130 amp batteries . if we are parked we stand the remosker on the cooker and have used a small jet as well as the inverter just to help with the cooking time ,
Have also fired the engine up to boost the batteries while the inverter is on .
Its a case of mix and match but we use it a lot , we also have one in the house , great for chicken ..
