Just looking through the new Lake land catalogue that arrived this morning and low and behold the Remoska has got its viewing window back. No change in the price yet.

Showing my ignorance here but why are these things so popular and what would make them good for caravaning?

Recently Kath has decided that we no longer want cooking smells in our Troll, which followed me making a particularly stonkingly good curry on the hob. Murmurs of "how are we supposed to live with this odour for days" followed - even though she had seconds of the curry!

As a result we are looking for something to cook on in the awning using the outside plug. On Monday following my visit to the local Asda we were looking at the alternative of a slow cooker or some kind of electric grill like a George Foreman, f. Never thought of one of these Remoska things.

If you are a convert to one of these why would you recommend anyone to get one? MikeT

Cheers Colin that's helpful.

I'm sure that a mate of mine had one or something like it for years when he was well enough to go caravaning and by sheer coincidence I am meeting him for a pub lunch on Tuesday. I will give him a good grilling(!) about i and get his thoughts.

You never know he might still even have it somewhere, although he moved house recently. He might even pass it on for a new life if he still has it but he is a bit notorious for being able to peel an orange in his pocket, so probably wishful thinking on my part. MikeT

The quickest way to sum up a Remoska Mike is, it's compact, low wattage and will cook just about anything. The downside is the price but they are available elsewhere at least these days.
For an Eriba they are brilliant, not much to store and very versatile.

Papa smurf introduced me to the cookbook that goes with it, which is what made me fork out for one. The recipes are really good. I also love the fact that it's really simple. Its on or off. No faffing about.

Recently bought a 2nd hand Remoska off ebay and its brilliant, so far done large jacket potatoes and risotto and totally converted, we will use it a lot in the future.

Cooks quickly, large jacket potatoes cook in around 1hour 30 minutes (turn them halfway through) and lovely fluffy Risotto in around 50 minutes from memory.

Easy to use and very easy to clean. Buy one you won't regret it. That £77 deal for the Gold one looks like a steal !

Its such a perfect addition to an Eriba - Hymer should offer it as an optional extra, having said that then it would probably cost £495

2l or 4l remoska for a couple?

2 litre is plenty big enough for a couple - takes 3 big jacket potatoes quite comfortably, Risotto for 3 people no problem (we had our daughter away with us in the summer)

eribaMotters thanks for the tip.

I have ordered the standard at a saving of £60 on Lakeland the prices (ordered before I saw your other discount! ).

The £77 price is offset with a £15 delivery charge but still saving a huge £60..!

Here's the book

Timely. Using my Remoska last night it started making some very funny noises and the lid discoloured really badly, went almost white. Not happy, well out of guarantee. Don't trust it any more so ordered a gold one having signed up for the fiver off, thanks Colin.
You could ask why am I buying another when this one has failed so badly but I use it nearly every day, I have a built in double oven in the kitchen that hardly ever gets used. I would be lost without it, I know there are similar products on the market but not such low wattage which means it's the first thing to go in the Eriba when we are away.
