Remoska

[mikebeaches]

Called in at a local branch of Lakeland this morning, and saw this Remoska on display.

Just made me and Mrs mikebeaches chuckle - we use ours at home all the time. Convenient and running at just 400 watts, why wouldn't we...

 

[Ejaydee]

We frequently use ours in the house too! The oven rarely gets used now, what with the Remoska, a slow cooker and air fryer (for chips), we are keeping our cooking costs as low as possible.

I have 3, original standard 13 years old and used at home, new grande which replaced my original one, it died from over use New standard which I bought when i got a good discount, that now resides in the motorhome. Use all frequently, probbly the best gadget i ever got for the motorhome, certainly the most useful, for me.

Sold mine, couldn't see what was so brilliant about them.
Now got a Ninja
Say no more.

We've been Remoska fans for a decade or more - used most days for something. One in the van and one in the kitchen at home.

But interested to hear about the benefits of a Ninja air fryer? Mrs mikebeaches was eying them up at Lakeland.

I’ve had Remoskas for as long as I can remember.
Had them in the house, before and now in the van for 12 years!
Versatile, easy to use and clean and cheap to run.

Mine has just gone to remoska heaven i had it 12 years it was used in house and van a lot
Ive just sold the recipe book on ebay and was very shocked how mych they are asking for them (wipeable spiral bound one)

 

[Mikeco]

We have 3 at home and one of them is used quite a lot as we have stopped using the oven, also have one in the van.

 

[Suenliam]

Had our van one for over 20 years. It was a gift. The house one was from a charity shop - never used £50
Both used regularly and even more so now with the increasing cost of using the gas oven.

We picked up the hard back recipe book. Many of the recipes make it look like the 70s never left us
The Remoska is a useful tool in the van though.

We use ours often in the van, for all sorts of purposes. Last job - warming up pasties. Previous job - made an excellent curry.

I’m thinking of buying one or tother for home. We have a Remoska in the Motorhome and use it all the time when on EHU. What do you all use when no hook up. ( except the oven which is for absolute emergency use)

When no hook-up - SALAD

But seriously, we've got a double skillet which generally makes a reasonable substitute.

I've not paid attention to it yet, it'd be interesting to see what the actual power usage is. It's rated at 400W if I remember correctly, but what's the duty cycle? 400W is an easy load on a reasonable inverter, and if it's only (say) 25% duty cycle on average once warmed up then you'd be on 100W (say 9-10A out of your battery with inefficiencies) consumption, which is a lot easier on the battery usage than 400W if it's 100% duty cycle. When we got ours the intention was to be able to run it off the inverter, but as the inverter is still in its box not wired in that's a bit tricky.

So the last trip we done we took the Ninja 4.7lt foodie with us. Its rated at 1460 watt but we do have a 2500 inverter when needed. As it was we were on site, did not use the BBQ at all. First meal l done was the roast chicken 30minutes, potatoes 3 minutes and Corn on the Cob 5 minutes. In all around 40 minutes.
Next morning l used the sear/saute and used it like an electric pan, bacon, eggs, mushrooms the works.
Sirloin steaks 3 minutes each side.
Pork chops with bone in 12 minutes with crispy potatoes under rack.
Overall a great little machine that cooks food very quickly and keeps all the goodness and flavor in.

Go find it...!

Double skillet is better than the Remoska for cooking frozen chips.

Thanks for that - great to get a Ninja review!

Sounds like a good bit of kit, although I'm guessing your model is quite a large one. We don't have an inverter and we also frequently find ourselves at the end of a 6 amp hook-up in France, so would need to see if a smaller one might be slightly less power hungry.

 

[pappajohn]

Its rated at 1460 watt

A 1kw difference to the remoska's 400w or just over twice the power of the grand remoska at 640w.
You could run both ramoska's at the same time and still save money.

 

[Rapidoman 2011]

Hi Mike, think you would fine that 6 amps is fine. The 4.7 lt model is the smaller one but can hold a 1.5 kg chicken as in pic. Even if we are on the more powerful british sites l tend to turn off the hot water or air con and use one powerful item at a time. Never had a problem.

Thanks and yes, we try to manage our electric consumption and keep it below the current available.

Do yu save a lot on electric with a remoska? Would i be wise to replace my now defunct one to save on the leccy do yu think?

Personally, I think you are likely to. A standard size Remoska is rated at just 400 watts, whereas an electric oven I should think might typically operate at between 1,000 and 3,000 watts, possibly more for a large oven? I can't really advise concerning a mains gas oven in the UK, but I'd expect it to be slightly cheaper than an electric one, but probably more than a Remoska? No doubt somebody better qualified and more knowledgeable will be along with further advice...

The thing is, with a Remoska you are heating a much smaller cooking space than a full size oven.

We have had both Remoska’s for the pat 12 yrs, brilliant bit of kit, we lent the small one out to some friends and they damaged it, sent it back to Lakeland and was replaced with new no questions asked, never realised they had a lifetime guarantee. P.S they make fabulous Yorkshire Puddings

Glad you were able to get a replacement, no questions asked.

Sadly, Remoskas purchased today have a 3-year warranty, rather than the lifetime warranty which was in place for many years.

The image at the top of the thread happens to include reference to the current warranty.

Not just an air fryer - they can be bought for forty quid.
I've got a 15 in 1
Haven't used my cooker since.
Not really motorhome friendly but not impossible.
Cooked stuff I've never attempted before..
Love it.

Thanks for that!

Yes, it looks a good piece of kit, and well worth considering for home use. Not sure it would be suitable for the van, as you suggest.

Amazon product ASIN B09C873WR9
Interested where you pick them up for £40?

 

[EuroTrotters]

Need to get ours down off the top shelf ! Been there since 2009

 

[Rumour and Innuendo]

I still can't get over people spending sometimes hours cooking in their motorhome! We do what ever is quickest, or BBQ! We go away to get away from all the cooking and cleaning! And the price of a Remoska? Not a chance!

 

[tufty]

We bought a remoska a couple of weeks ago when the small one was on offer. It’s brilliant. I used it everyday at home to get the hang of it before using it in the van. No photos but I’ve cooked roast veg & pork chops, chicken breasts & veg, a fantastic veg frittata, & fruit crumble in it so far. We also bought a Vango camping induction hob (2x 400w plates or 1x 400w) as we like cooking outside but don’t particularly like BBQing so between the two they are ideal when on hook up. Gas camping stove outside or the hob when off grid
