Remoska or Halogen

[DuffyMoon]

Keep thinking I should get one of these - to save money on electricity if nothing else. Not sure which is better - does anyone have either/both and could advise....will it be a purchase shoved to the back of a cupboard?

TIA

Hopeful bumpity bump

I bought a ramoska when I moved house and discovered that the oven in the cooker didn't work. I thought it would tide me over until we replaced the kitchen.

After a week with the ramoska I bought a cheap cooker, although when factoring in the £120 for the ramoska, it really wasn't that cheap!

Although I think the ramoska would be okay for the odd thing, I really didn't rate it. It's basically an electric element in the lid of a non-stick pan. It feels really dangerous because the whole thing gets so hot and it's quite scary when you take the lid off, because you don't know where to put it down without melting things!

The things I remember trying were roast potatoes (soggy), oven chips (soggy), yorkshire pudding (soggy) and stuffing (soggy). Maybe it would work better on meaty things though.

I haven't tried a halogen oven, but I read some good reviews of them a while back.

Thought this was a a baby name thread for a moment! Sorry - I have no idea.

How about a slow cooker? I lurve mine.

I have a slow cooker.....am more thinking of something that will stop the need for the oven - eg for oven chips.

The trouble is I have heard good and bad about both......though am liking them as baby names........ "Oi Halogen, Remoska - off the swings, its time to go home"

thank you for the replies

I have a Remoska (also bought when oven not working) and tbh I keep forgetting to use it now. One of the problems is the time it would take - I have come to rely on bunging things in the oven at the last minute, would have to be more organised to get the Remoska turned on earlier! I did do turkey breasts in it one Christmas and they were cooked to perfection!
