As a Bachelor with limited tastes and talents, ADD46, I find it covers a multitude of ( my ) sins . Ready meals that fit in the bottom ok, Spuds jacket tasty. Basically anything that can fit within reason. I have to admit that I have a chrome grill that fits inside to hold goods off the bottom should liquids be involved or even drips from nice juicy lamb steaks, as well as a loose bottomed tray thing ( like some home bakers call a cake tin I think ) but the best part I have is a "Remoska Cook Book"

Posted on 18/03/2018 20:00 by ADD46Waytwogo thank you for starting this thread. I've read with interest and just ordered a 4l Remoska from Alza. Having never owned a Remoska can anyone give me any tips or good ideas of things to cook?

Part microwave baking potatoes, then convert them to proper dry skins for 30 mins in your remoska. Roast potatoes and parsnips are excellent cooked this way. Try glazed carrots or asparagus. Pre cooked Yorkshire puddings cook well too. Mushrooms with a little oil come out well. Try new potatoes tossed in a little oil with the mushrooms to accompany a BBQ. In fact many things that you might otherwise use a much bigger over for. Squashes don’t seem to work as well as in a bigger oven, even when diced. I haven’t, but imagine that sausages would be good, or burgers. A lot depends on what else you are already heating things in or on. Cooking times are no longer than a conventional oven but they are often a bit less. There’s no need to wash up a Remoska, just wipe inside with kitchen towel to remove any oil, and occasionally a damp cloth if something has stuck, but that’s rare. I find mine a useful addition in the kitchen, though not indispensable.
I hope that you enjoy yours too.

Thank you Jennyc and Deleted User User for the ideas. I'm still waiting for it to be delivered but we're planning a caravan weekend so we'll have our Remoska cooking initiation very soon. I looked on "you tube" and found some good recipes. When cooking roasts one person had a small separate semi circular roasting tin for the veg. I can't find this anywhere to buy as an accessory. Has anyone seen this or can I buy any normal small roasting tin?

ABM - thank you for replying. I found the Remoska cook book on line for £10. Assuming the Remoska doesn't come with this included I'll buy the book to get more familiar with what I can cook. I've warned my relatives they may be used as Guinea pigs for meals as I learn how to use it. 😊
