Yes my wife brought one from them recently, the one with the glass window in the lid. Three weeks ago brought another, without window, at a car boot sale for £4. Can now have on at home, used all the time, and one in the motorhome.

I think it's just referring to the outer lid of the Remoska which has a mirror finish rather than a painted/matt finish.

Agree Alza is a good place to buy from, but £14.50 for delivery seems a bit steep

Wow, seriously?

Hmm, thinking of buying a car. Should I go for the blue one or the green one?

Yes seriously ... they do different coloured aluminium ones as well as the mirror finish (ie polished stainless steel) lidded ones.

As for the car ... a nice lime green one!

Never mind the car, how about helping the OP out with their dilemma.

Personally, I’d go for the mirrored one. Reason? Like all good pieces of kit in a MoHo, it becomes multi-purpose; one can use it for:

• Checking that there are no potential illegal immigrants secreting themselves under the Motorhome hoping for a lift across the channel. (Just extend your arm with said Remoska kid under the vehicle whilst checking the ‘mirror’.
• Checking the effectiveness of one’s shaving efforts.
• Supporting the application of one’s make-up.
• You get the reflection!

It’s a no brainier, the mirrored one it must be!

The mirrored one is actually made for people who are dieting. The mirror makes it look like there is twice as much food as there really is in the pan so your brain is fooled into thinking a feast is on the way, and as a result it sends a message to Mr Stomach to tell him he will soon be full up. That's science that is.

You're not Conchita by any chance are you???

I’ve been wondering about these for a while, had look at them in Lakeland yesterday, £149 for standard 2L and £169 for the Grand 4L. I wanted to get the big one, but Cindy’s voice of reason thought the smaller version would be better for the van.

End result being my just having ordered a ‘champagne gold’ standard 2L remoska with window from Alza for £77.

https://www.alza.co.uk/remoska-r-21...71UaFy60TaayW08kYjrlsSiP0_e_nMCxoCxdoQAvD_BwE

Not bothered about the colour at that price. Guessing it comes with a Euro 2-pin plug, so also ordered a UK adapter from same site.

Let’s see if it’s what it’s cracked up to be...

Edit: seems Lakeland are also selling the ‘limited edition champagne gold’ version, but at a bit of a price..

We bought the Grand Remoska from Alza it was faulty but sent it back and repaired no problems .

 

[Madmag]

Have to admit I bought one of the “special edition” champagne ones when I was in Lakeland at Windermere a year or 2 ago. Total impulse buy but it meant I could keep my original one ( bought on eBay) in the house & not have to keep transferring it to van & back. Delighted with it, didn’t realise there was an alternative source for buying them

 

[Shrimp]

The Remoska is a very useful tool in the MH as long as you’re on hook up!
I have one of the older ones with the window in the lid, I like to be able to see how things are cooking without removing the lid and losing heat.
If there are only 2 or 3 of you the Standard size is fine, it will hold a small-medium size whole chicken or a joint of meat.
I do chicken joints/thighs on a selection of veg, Biryanis, Toad-in-th-hole, bread, cakes.....etc, (for a cake I use a cake tin inside the Remoska base.)
The Standard Remoska runs at about 190° so most things that cook in an oven for around that temp (up to about 220°) will cook in the Remoska.
I’ve been using them for about 12 years now and wouldn’t be without one!

Bought mine this year from Alza. Really pleased with delivery etc. It was delayed slightly but they contacted me to let me know why. Came beautifully packed. Love it, especially as I saved £60 on the price at Lakeland. Makes fantastic scones. Whilst in the van we have a lovely roast chicken meal etc., and hardly any washing up and no oven to clean! All of this because I asked for advice on this forum and the replies were so helpful even if the questions I asked may have seemed silly and trivial. Go for it!

 

[Oscar]

Thanks for the replies - very useful - anyone want to sell theirs?

 

[Pekepal]

NO!!!!

Agree Alza is a good place to buy from, but £14.50 for delivery seems a bit steep

that literally just stalled me placing my order

but also made me question the wattage of our inverter

been out to check

we have a Sterling 600W PSW inverter

the 2l remoska takes 400W, the large one 580W,

now need to decide on small and stay with inverter we have, or large and upgrade inverter

 

[bellabee]

Do the Remoskas ordered from alza.co.uk come with European 2-pin plugs, or with British ones? I'd prefer the 2-pin, but it's not a deal-breaker.

The one we recently ordered from Alza came with the Euro 2 pin plug.

2 pin but they sell the appropriate adapter very cheap. All works really well.

Would be interested know how you are getting on with it please.

Would be interested know how you are getting on with it please.

We've only used it once for an initial test run - roast chicken, potatoes etc. I was genuinely surprised how good the chicken and spuds turned out. Definitely a keeper for us.
