I’ve used a slow cooker a little at home & I’ve used only a little a double skillet but never used a remoska. Can anyone tell me the plus & minus for them against the slow cooker or double skillet please

I have the double skillet and the Remoska,
The double Skillet I have used for 8 years, it can be used as a frying pan, two pans, when clipped together an oven. When doubled up you can cook something in the bottom and cook veg/rice in the top. As it uses the gas hob you can use them off grid. Because it is so versatile the only other pan you may need is probably a milk pan and that's it.
Pros for skillet: use off grid, compact, save on space with not requiring as many pans.
Cons: using your own gas
You can buy them from here

Never knew what a Remoska was until someone mentioned it on this site. We had a halogen oven for the van which worked OK but was big and heavy and not great for space in our Troll. Mentioned the Remoska to a good friend who big white boxed for years until ill health stopped him and he sang the praises of it and said he would not be without one.

The price was a bit high but we got one on the internet last year and we are totally sold on it. We have barely used anything else to cook with since. We have it outside in the awning using the little Troll table.

The heat comes from the Remoska lid and so it acts like a mix of an oven / grill. We had to experiment a bit with cooking times and when to put things in. We went on a month long tour of the North East coast last year and by the end we were using it for nearly everything - it is that versatile. You just need to be careful where you put the hot lid when you want to stir or add things.

As Colin says it uses very little power to get good results. We sit together in the awning having a glass of wine whilst we watch it cooking. All very relaxing and using it in the awning you have no cooking smells in the van. This is important for us as I make a lot of hot spicy food.

The other beauty is that you only have one pan to clean and it cleans very easily.

When we got back after the North East trip we took all the other pans out from under the sink and put them in the house. The Remoska is now a constant for us.

We are remoska convertees too. You can get an excellent cookery book for it too.

I love my Remoska. It lives permanently in the kitchen and I use a lot. It's great for meat, chicken, sausages etc, i use it as a small oven, and, as there isn't an oven in my van, i'll be taking away with us on our adventures (if we ever get to have any adventures this year!!!). Better, quicker and more versatile that the slow cooker, which is great for casseroles, curries etc.

Electric Weber with skillet & pizza stone does it all.
Leg of lamb ,100 deg c for 5 hrs.
Jacket potatoes to die for !!!!
Garlic bread, herby roast potatoes.
Above 5 amps no problem, France or Spain.
I've not paid for gas for 2 years...

Is a standard size the one to go for for two people ? and when you take the lid off to stir, check or finish cooking can you put the lid down on a surface upside down with out burning something

Makes you wonder how Lakeland get away with charging there usual price! If your using at home does it take a lot longer to cook?

well I've taken the plunge & ordered one off Lakeland. Just looking to see if there recipe book is any good & Lakeland don't have stock of the books but just glancing at a roast lamb recipe on the remoska.co.uk site & they talk about using roasting bags for the lamb joint which surprised me why they would need one?

we just bought one from Lakeland as well. We may try it on our boat (running off the inverter as we travel along), as well as on the Eriba of course.

Yesterday I received a Remoska - eBay purchase. So immediately marinaded some chicken to test it.
Cooked it last night. Took about 25 minutes and it was delicious.
This will be a great asset in the Eriba. I want to put together a few must have ingredients to keep in the Eriba cupboards - spices, soy sauce, etc - so can always do chicken and fish. The recipe book which came with it looks excellent too.
